Credit on home owners insurance for monitoring

[sadelucchi]

AAA Insurance will not give me a credit for home monitoring, protection because you do not provide fire/co2 monitoring. You need to produce some type of co2/firer alarm that works on your system. The previous company I had provided that service so I could get a credit on my home owners insurance

I’ve mentioned this to them too. I asked about it in an AMA, but never got a good answer:

@carverofchoice

Since you won’t make your own Smoke and CO detectors, why not do what security monitoring companies like ADT do, and just allow your system to integrate with Google/Nest and use Google’s Smoke/CO detectors as part of your Home monitoring system? Then you don’t have to do the R&D, or worry about the liability or anything, but your system will now be able to offer your users Smoke and CO alerts through the Wyze Platform so users don’t have to go with another company to get that covered if their insurance requires it.

Is this (using existing smoke/CO detectors through a 3rd party like Nest/Google) something you are willing to consider so people can get the monitoring coverage they need for insurance requirements?

Thank you for the question, this is outside the scope of our guests today, but I will see if I can get an answer to this and post an update here.

Honestly, I don’t know why they don’t do that. It works great for ADT and then all their users get the discount. There is no reason not to do it. I am just lost why they aren’t allowing or integrating this.

Choice Hunter let’s hope we get some action on this

Welcome to the Forum, @sadelucchi!

FYI, the issue of insurance credits/discounts with respect to smoke/CO detectors is also discussed in this Wishlist topic:

Wyze Smoke/CO Detector

Would love to see Wyze add a smoke/carbon monoxide detector. There are not that many good options in the market. Nest Protects are good but very expensive.
