What is the smart home program?

This program is a new, innovative way to help keep your home safe from water damage, break-ins, fires and more with support from the Notion Smart Home Monitoring System. When you add this program to your policy, you get:

  • A discount on your property insurance — average savings of $50 on homeowners insurance1
  • Discount on the Notion Monitoring System
  • An additional layer of protection for your home
  • The potential for less damage with early detection

How the smart home program works

Monitor temperature across rooms, track windows opening and closing, know when people are coming and going, be alerted when a water leak is detected

1    Alerts when a water leak is detected

2    Monitors temperature across rooms

3    Tracks windows and doors opening and closing

4    Listens for sounding alarms

Water damage is the source of most insurance claims — almost 25%, in fact. And the average cost of these claims is $11,650.2

This makes the Notion system all the more helpful. All you have to do is place Notion sensors in key areas of your home — near doors, windows, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and water sources (e.g., toilets, air conditioners, sinks and pipes). Once installed, the sensors will monitor and notify you of events like water leaks and opening doors, helping you get ahead of any problems that could otherwise become more catastrophic and costly later.

There are three parts to the Notion smart home Monitoring System:
home security sensor
Sensors

The sensors monitor water leaks, temperature changes, sounding smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and the opening and closing of doors and windows.
bridge device
Bridge

The bridge is a plug-in device that relays information from the sensors to your smartphone via Wi-Fi.
home security app
App

A Notion app provides alerts and allows you to manage your system from anywhere.
