The Sense smells like a human nose to prevent fire

Sense Fire Prevention System is just what it says - it "prevents" fire unlike other fire detection systems, which only "detect" once the fire has already started. Sense fire prevention system is manufactured by Sepideh Javaherian, from Ontario Canada who was inspired to make this product based on life's day-to-day experiences.

Sense System is equipped with a whole functional system that does not sound an alarm for normal cooking fires or smells.

How it works

Sense system consists of two parts - the main unit, and the two safety switch modules. The main unit has a Enose sensor that actually differentiates between smells like a human nose and this helps minimize false alarms in the house. It can efficiently detect and differentiate between fire fumes and cooking stove fumes. The main unit communicates with the safety switch modules wirelessly, these devices are placed between the cooking devices and the power source. If there is an emergency, the system alerts through the alarm when there is a smoke detected and tells about the nature of the hazard. It even detects toxic gases. The best thing about the Sense System that it can even detect food that is burning on the stove and alerts the user. And if the system does not receive a response within one minute, it turns off the stove preventing fire.

The sense system eliminates false alarms since it can differentiate between emergencies and routine cooking stove related heat. It is designed in such a way that it cuts off the fire at the source of the heat. The sense system can be easily installed and incorporated into the existing electrical system in the house.
