For one, it’s about staying as safe as possible. May it be a fire, gas leak, break-in, or some other inadvertent event, we may not always see it coming. Smart sensors can detect breaches of this kind and alert you on the spot. Especially for places with valuables, this is a necessity.

Another big advantage of having a smart sensor is energy savings. A temperature sensor, for instance, can detect the ambient condition and tell your heating/cooling systems exactly what’s required. And a motion sensor for another instance can help turn the lights on only when you’re around and automatically turn it off when you aren’t. That’s energy and money being saved.
