I tested a smart sensor that detects electrical fire hazards - here's what it found
Briefly

Ting is a smart sensor designed to monitor electrical systems in homes, providing insights into potential fire risks. It features easy installation with no need for wiring or electricians. After being plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi via a mobile app, it takes weeks to familiarize itself with the home's electrical system. The device continuously monitors the electrical current, voltage, power outages, and even watches for storms. Ting can detect various issues, including arcing and damaged connections, which could lead to serious electrical problems.
After learning your home, the Ting sensor monitors the electrical current 24/7, looking for issues in wiring, outlets, and even appliances.
Ting detects electrical issues that you would otherwise not know about, which could potentially start a fire.
These scintillations are early warning signs that turn into bigger issues down the road, like tripped breakers or electrical fires.
The smart sensor is one of the easiest ways to gain extra insight into your home's electrical status.
