Ting Sensor

[Forgalspop]

We are with State Farm Home Owners insurance and recently received a notification we were eligible for a free Ting Sensor. A ting sensor plugs into a standard wall outlet and can sense any abnormal electrical problem in one's house or from the electrical grid. It does not listen to conversations, etc. We ordered one and have it plugged in. It is pretty slick. One has to download an app to their smart phone and have WIFI.

So far it is working great and if I understand correctly other insurance companies are offering it to their customers and I am thinking by installing this it (may) help keep our home owner's premium lower. (again may)

Iv had one for about 6mos or so -- I suppose it does contribute to protecting your home by reporting electrical problems - we get regular reports saying nothing happened

That's probably so when your house burns down, they can blame the power company and refuse your claim lol

actually I think it can/could identify wiring issues before they develop into a fire - connections can come loose from expansion/contraction due to wires heating with load - if anything the insurance company appears to be sharing the responsibility a little.
