It is one of the most standard doubts that may come to mind when approaching the world of smart home, made up of smart things, many of which still miss the real need, that is the reason why they can help us live better.

The doubt disappears when talking about smart home systems like Priya, a device developed by an Italian startup, very simple (but really high tech) with many functions, all of which are clearly useful: safety, health, well-being. Three words that represent what really we care for ourselves, our families, our goods and represent an extremely interesting technology trend for insurance companies that increasingly integrate into their policies the use of devices that can prevent damage to property and persons.

At present, 52% of the smart home solutions on the market are just starting up as Smart-I, developed by Priya.

Priya is a multisensing device that is virtually provided with many human sensory features: it can see thanks to its high resolution camera; it can listen to, with a very sensitive microphone; it can sniff, with a precise sensor, the air quality; and finally it can speak, namely communicate via app with its owner.

Here’s what it’s all about.

SECURITY – Thanks to Priya Recognition Function, you will be warned if there is an intruder in your home without false alarms caused by classic motion detection systems. Through the built-in microphone, Priya identifies and analyzes the sounds, and warns you if it detects suspicious noise, intrusion, or a request for help. The air quality sensor constantly analyzes the air you breathe and give you a timely alert if there are dangerous concentrations of gas or fumes or fire principle.

CARE – Priya monitors everything that happens in the home, of course also the children or the elderly, hearing and recognizing screams and tears, identifying the face of people and even the voice, understanding a request for help and warning in case of need. For example, Priya helps preventing SIDS by recognizing the face position in the crib. If the baby has his face covered, or his head turned on the pillow, Priya immediately warns by phone. The system is also designed to monitor pets.

HEALTH – Thanks to the air quality sensor, the device allows you to continuously monitor the level of pollutants present in your home environment by analyzing VOCs in the air and detecting the concentration of formaldehyde. And that’s not all: it’s possible to monitor the degree of humidity and temperature.

The device has an artificial intelligence engine able to figure out what’s happening at home, to intercept noises, images, and the air breathed. Priya is constantly improving thanks to its machine learning ability, and adapts to the peculiarities of every home.

In essence, Priya combines a home security camera, an air quality sensor and a baby monitor. This allows the user more simplified management and significant cost savings.

The device can be positioned anywhere in the home away from sources of electricity thanks to the internal battery that allows continuous recording of events on the cloud platform. In the event of a WiFi disruption, Priya continues to communicate thanks to the integrated LTE module and to save the data on its SD card.

All of the features provided by Priya are easily managed through a simple and friendly mobile app that immediately notifies relevant event to allow the user to interact with family members or to intervene directly in case of emergency.
