Hi, this is Tracy from Kaltu Mac and I'm here with..
0:12
My name is Adam Gettings from LEO. Can you tell us about your device
0:15
Yeah, so what we have here is the LEO Smart Alert device, which is a simple solution for
0:19
monitoring your home's existing smoke and CO detectors. So the way you set it up is that you plug it into an outlet, a standard wall outlet
0:28
connect it to your Wi-Fi network, download the app to your phone, both Android and iOS
0:33
are available, and then you set it up and simply put in your contact information, your
0:38
closest neighbor, maybe a few other people you want to have on your emergency list
0:42
If your alarms go off at home, this device will pick it up and it will call you and then
0:48
play back an audio clip so you can actually validate that alarm for yourself. And if it was an alarm, you can actually get help immediately through the app
0:54
Just click a button and call 911. Okay, and how did you come up with the idea
0:58
So one of my close family friends lives outside of a small town in the Midwest and they were
1:04
headed home one night from town and they saw a fire in the distance, they got closer and realized it was their house
1:08
And when they got there, it was too late and they lost their house and I kept wondering
1:12
why we don't have this very basic information for our homes, even though our homes are our
1:18
most important assets and also they're the place that we want to protect and actually
1:23
feel comfortable in. It just didn't make a lot of sense so I really wanted to build something for my friend and
1:28
also for a lot of other people. Have you heard feedback about people you've helped
1:32
Oh yeah, so in the last year we've detected about 7,000 alarms
1:37
Most of them were toaster ovens and things like that, people leave a stove on or they
1:41
turn the wrong burner on or something like that. But we have had a handful of homes protected where it's been caught really quickly, when
1:48
it just started to smoke, they caught it, they sent the fire department out, saved a
1:51
pet or two. We have had a number, just a handful of real cases where it's been used in a serious case
1:57
A lot of other, you know, just screw ups, people just accidentally. Right, left the piece in too long
2:02
Yeah, you know, set the house on fire for fun or whatever happened. And this works with any standard fire
2:08
Well, as of the mid-90s, they all have, not all, but almost all of them have a standard sound
2:13
Okay, what about the smart ones like Nest? Yeah, those also have the same sound so it works with those
2:18
And what does this retail for? So this retails, right now it's available for $49
2:23
Okay, is it available? Yeah, it's available at Best Buy stores, Lowe's stores, Amazon.com, Leo.com and a couple other websites
2:30
Great, that's awesome. Okay, well thank you so much Adam Gettings from Leo
2:34
Thank you. It's great talking to you.
