As a long time smart home evangelist it’s incredible to finally<\/em> see a home insurer that recognises the value sensors can add!<\/p>\n

Online Aussie insurer honey<\/em><\/a>\u00a0 have announced a new Smarter Home initiative aimed at rewarding smart home users with a discount up to 8% on their monthly home & contents premium.<\/p>\n

To qualify for the discount you’ll be given a Notion Starter Kit<\/a> valued at A$250 to install as you see fit. The Notion’s kit is a great start for anyones smart home journey.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for those with existing smart home setups, you’ll be required to add Notion’s hub & devices, honey requiring that their supplied equipment be installed.<\/p>\n

Reassuringly, honey<\/em> have confirmed no sensor data or information will be used in claims processing. They believe the introduction of sensors into Australian homes will reduce incidents leading to lower claims.<\/p>\n

For those concerned regarding Notion’s equipment and communications they (unlike many cheap IoT devices) provide end-to-end encryption of all traffic.<\/p>\n
