How IoT devices can help your home insurance customers feel safe

Among the main concerns of homeowners is protecting their property and loved ones. The thought of an intruder breaking into their home to steal their belongings and potentially hurt the people they care about frightens most people. With an insurtech solution, your insurance company can help your customers protect their homes and feel safe.

The Internet of Things (IoT) opens a world of possibilities in relation to monitoring property and preventing burglary. Due to the ability to notify homeowners remotely if someone breaks into their home, wireless sensors and alarms allow them to take action immediately - even while being away from home.

Take a look at the different features that you can integrate into your insurtech solution with Onics’ IoT devices:

‍

Detect movement

The compact Motion Sensor does not only allow your customers to detect occupancy, but also light and temperature - with only one device. With this device, your customers can get instant notifications if someone unwanted is wandering around their home.

The occupancy sensor is PIR-based and can sense movement up to 9 meters away from the sensor. The Motion Sensor offers several mounting options. It can be mounted in a corner or flat on the wall or ceiling. Alternatively, the included stand can be used to place the Motion Sensor on a table or shelf.

‍

Monitor opening and closing of doors and windows

With Entry Sensors as part of your insurtech solution, your customers get notified if an intruder enters their home. The Entry Sensor detects and reports the opening and closing of doors and windows. With notifications from the Entry Sensors, your customers can detect intruders early and react quickly.

‍

Warn if a window is shattered

The Vibration Sensor also allows your customers to react instantly if someone tries to break into their home by shattering a window. The sensor detects and reports vibrations. With 15 different pre-defined vibration sensitivity levels, the Vibration Sensor allows you to define how reactive to vibrations it needs to be. In this sense, the sensor is triggered by the exact force and intensity of vibration that you want to detect with your insurtech solution.

Help prevent break-in with automated lights

To scare off potential intruders in the first place, the Smart Plug Mini 2 is helpful. By connecting their lamps to the smart plugs, your customers can turn on/off the light remotely. They can make it appear as if someone is home while they are away. This way, you can help your customers feel at ease at all times with your insurtech solution.

All the IoT devices are white label products, allowing you to customize them in several ways and make their appearance fit your company seamlessly. Get to know the customization options.
