Kidde Expands Its Wi-Fi Enabled Home Safety Product Suite with the Launch of Three New Smart Connected Detection Devices

Kidde, North America’s #1 home fire safety brand*, recently introduced three new HomeSafe™ enabled devices, adding to its comprehensive suite of fully integrated home health and safety product offerings. Connected to the Kidde app by Kidde HomeSafe technology, these additional smart detection products can provide instant notification of home safety threats such as smoke, carbon monoxide (CO) and indoor air quality (IAQ) issues. At a time when tracking IAQ is particularly important due to recent Canadian fire events and the start of Western U.S. wildfire season, Kidde offers devices that can help you create a safe and healthy home. Kidde is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

Kidde’s growing suite of smart products now consists of six devices for whole-home detection of smoke, carbon monoxide, IAQ issues, water leaks and frozen pipes. Consumers can rest assured knowing Kidde alarms and detectors will alert them in real-time via their smartphones and connected devices. Additionally, these smart devices can transform existing hardwired interconnected Kidde alarms into smart ones with an easy and fully integrated solution that offers whole-home detection.**

Kidde’s expanded smart portfolio builds on the reliability the brand has offered for more than 100 years with innovative technology to meet consumers’ changing needs:

• NEW Carbon Monoxide Alarm + Indoor Air Quality Monitor – the industry’s first plug-in device to combine CO detection with an IAQ monitor.
• NEW Smoke Alarm with Indoor Air Quality Monitor – the industry’s first device to combine both smoke detection with an IAQ monitor.
• NEW Smoke Alarm with Smart Features – smoke alarm offering real-time updates through the Kidde app.
• Smoke + Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Indoor Air Quality Monitor – an industry-first device launched in 2022 that offers triple detection of smoke, CO and IAQ issues including adverse temperature, humidity levels and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).
• Water Leak + Freeze Detector – launched in 2022, this detector helps prevent potentially costly repairs from water damage and frozen pipes by quickly alerting homeowners of water leaks or temperature drops.
