Sound the alarm, because Works with Home Assistant just welcomed our newest partner to the program: FireAvert! 🎉 Specialists in fire safety, FireAvert are on a mission to keep you and your home out of harm's way. They bring the very first gas and electric appliance shutoff devices to the program, and with them, a whole lot of peace of mind. Where there's smoke, there's FireAvert As ex-firefighter Peter Thorpe knows too well, a moment of forgetfulness is all it takes for a kitchen to end up in flames. And after close to twenty years of service witnessing the same devastating scenario repeat itself, he knew something had to be done. So he founded FireAvert, launching with the Auto Stove Shutoff for electric stovetops. The device was already gaining momentum before FireAvert's pitch caught the attention of Shark Tank, and for good reason. They say there's no smoke without fire, but years on the job taught Thorpe that in the kitchen, that isn't always the case. Smoke can build well before a flame takes hold - and that's the window FireAvert's shutoff works in. By listening for your standard smoke alarm, the device automatically shuts off your stove when the alarm sounds - cutting the heat at the source before a fire can catch. "Excited to see FireAvert join the Home Assistant community. Smart homes shouldn't just be convenient - they should help keep families safer too. This is exactly the kind of innovation the ecosystem needs." - Chasen Tolbert, FireAvert Since their launch, FireAvert's range has expanded to include gas stove and small appliance shutoffs (think microwaves, air fryers, hot plates), so whatever's most likely to be left on in your kitchen, there's a shutoff for it. And with Z-Wave units now among them, it's easier than ever to bring that protection straight into your Home Assistant setup. On the same frequency The FireAvert shutoffs joining the program run on Z-Wave. For anyone unfamiliar, here's a quick rundown: Z-Wave is an open smart home protocol tha
