Meet Leeo: A Smart Alert Nightlight that connects you to the smoke and CO alarms you already have in your home.
Some of you like myself have made some investments to make your house “smarter” but, with Leeo, it gives you that smart functionality without having to invest in as much equipment by becoming “your ears of the house when you are not there…”
Let me explain what Leeo does and how it works:
Leeo is a plug-in device that lets you know if your existing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms go off when you’re away from home
You start off by downloading the Leeo app and plugging the device into the wall. There is a button on the device you can push to set it up and once connected to the WiFi it has you set off your smoke and CO detector so Leeo can learn the sounds of the devices. You can then label the Leeo with any room’s name in case you have multiple units throughout your home.
Once Leeo is set up, it makes a great hall light/nightlight with basic colors set-up as presets in the app. With your finger you can change to one of 16 millions other colors until it has to spring into action when an alarm goes off. The app will even show the room’s temperature and humidity.
The main feature behind Leeo is the alert system. If you have a smoke or CO detector go off, after several seconds Leeo detects the alarm and then will call you or whoever your emergency contact is. When you answer, it’s a computer calling and will actually play you a sound clip of the alarm so you can:
1) see if it’s truly an alarm going off
2) listen to what alarm is actually going off.
When you hang up from the call, Leeo texts you your local fire department phone number!
If you can’t be reached, you can enter back up emergency contacts that Leeo can then try to dial to alert.
To me this is a simple no-brainer for a little extra piece of mind at home when you are not…
Usually $99, the Leeo Smart Alert is on sale for $49 until January 1st.
