Electrical monitoring sensor

Thanks, Captain!

This is very cool and I'm excited to bring it up to our Product team. For everyone else: Ting is a device that plugs into a power socket, and monitors your home's entire electrical system for anomalies, which are signs of an issue with the wiring that could cause an electrical fire. It's a very interesting technology, and probably super useful for those of us with older homes!

Just saw that Ring has this available and would be a great add for Simplisafe

My neighbor has a Ting monitor (paid by his insurance)

Ting called him and said that there was arcing in a circuit. They isolated it to a specific outlet.

This would be a good addition to SimpliSafe.

However, when I called SimpliSafe to ask about this, the rep told me they do security systems, not safety or protection systems (notwithstanding water leak detectors and CO monitors).

When I called SimpliSafe about this, their tech support told that they are a security system, not safety. (Notwithstanding water leak detectors an CO detector and smoke detectors).

My homeowners insurance company just notified me that they are now offering a discount  for "Electrical Fault Detectors" like the Ting.   I see the original post in this thread is over a year old and the idea was brought to the Product team at least a year ago.  Can someone from SimpliSafe give an update on whether SimpliSafe plans to offer a device that integrates with their system?   I'd hate to go buy a stand alone device and then have SimpliSafe offer it a few months later.  By the way, this is not just for people with "older homes" as davey_d said above - rodents can chew through the wires of a home built yesterday!
