Gas Leak Detector
I am trying to see if there is any others interested in a new ssensor. I live in an older peer and beam house with natural gas. I would like a sensor that would integrate into my existing simplisafe system that would alarm in case of a gas leak. In the event of a gas leak, the alarm could wake you at night or notify you in the day. This could save life and property. Anybody else have natural gas and like to see this product?

It would be a matter of mating existing detector technology with the SS wireless interface.

If SS made a propane detector that worked well, I'd buy more than one because we have multiple buildings that have gas heaters in them.
If SS does not want to make an explosive gas detector, maybe they could simply 'detune' a glass break sensor so it could 'hear' the high pitched beeps of a gas detector that another company makes. While not a great solution, it might work for other types of alarms people already have in their house but cannot incorporate into the SS system because SS doesn't make that particular detector/sensor.
Thanks all.

Today during a meter inspection it was discovered that our gas meter was faulted and had been leaking natural gas into the basement. On older homes in my area the actual meter is in the basement not outside while its a unusual meter location of course a large amount of homes still have gas furnaces, water, and stove, dryer inside.
While I have never really considered it until now I have Simplisafe leak detectors for the basement sump and under sinks, carbon monoxide, and fire environmental monitoring but no gas!
I think a Simplisafe sensor for common gas natural and propane leak would complete a total home environmental protection package.
For now I just bought a few standalone detectors off Amazon

I feel that we should have a radon or gas leak detector added, also I feel there should be further integration with Nest systems. I like the Nest smoke detectors more than SS bc they have the smoke detector and the co detector in one which saves money, but also bc it doesn't set off from showers or boiling water and it provides a light at night for when me or my so stumbles through the house at night. And I like the fact that when the SS detectors go off they call 911 but I feel we should be able to use our Nest systems and make it so if I have the nest detector it will alert SS to call 911 if it goes off. And granted I would make the change to SS if it wasn't that Nest detectors interact with my Nest thermostat to offer a better energy efficiency. So I can't exactly just make the switch at least in my opinion.

I would buy several since I have multiple gas appliances in different areas of my home.
