Smart home technology company Roost has announced that its flagship product, the Roost Smart Battery, is now available in Australia.
The device combines a lithium battery and Wi-Fi in a familiar 9 V package. Coupled with a free smartphone app, the battery delivers notifications in the event of a smoke alarm sounding, even when the user is not at home.
With an average battery life of five years, it also eliminates flat battery beeping, as it sends a notification when it nears end of life.
The app can be configured to send notifications to multiple mobile devices, such as neighbours or friends if the user is away. It can also be used to disengage the battery in the case of nuisance alarms, such as when cooking.
The device includes a Wi-Fi chip, a microprocessor and a sensor that wakes up when an alarm sounds. When this occurs, the battery communicates via Wi-Fi to the Roost Cloud and a notification is sent to the user’s smartphone. It can be used with any existing smoke alarm that relies on a 9 V battery.
