Nice life saving feature would be that Wyse can open the garage door if a carbon monoxide alarm is detected. You would want this enabled to Cam or a future smoke monoxide alarm product that is identified as located in the garage.
People die every year from intentionally leaving a car running or accidentally in a closed garage. An alarm sounding in the middle of the night in a garage is easily slept through with devastating results. Wyze automatically opening the door could save an entire family.
I appreciate the intent behind this request and think that if something like this were implemented then the user should be given additional controls like options for setting a schedule of when this feature would be active and/or making it conditional upon the garage camera detecting a person within a user-configurable time frame of the CO detection. Example operation during a given schedule:
If the Cam
identifies the CO detector sound, and
has not identified a person in the garage within the past 5 minutes, and
Then
don’t automatically open the door
Else if the Cam
identifies the CO detector sound and
then sees a person within the next 2 minutes
Then
do automatically open the door
That’s not the best way to write out the logic, but I hope what I’m trying to describe is getting across. Outside the set schedule, the automatic opening feature would be disabled. As a for instance, if I had the Garage Door Controller, then I wouldn’t want this kind of feature to be active if I’m out during the day and no one is expected to be in the garage, otherwise someone could walk up to the garage door carrying a battery-powered CO detector and use it to open the door. I wouldn’t normally expect someone about to attempt a break-in to intentionally trigger a noisy alarm, but criminals often do dumb and unexpected things, so who knows? I just think that should be part of the consideration here.
