Gas Leak Detector

I agree. I would buy an integrated natural gas/propane detector.

(form wouldn't allow me to submit as testimonials and ideas)

Seriously! I would PRE-pay Simplisafe a ridiculous amount of money for a remote propane/natural gas sensor!!!

I've contacted them with this suggestion too, but I've seen other people ask SimpliSafe and other similar companies about it. I've also noticed that no other company has this, and there is no other product like this out there that you can monitor from your phone that doesn't depend on wifi, even with payment-- the only remote monitoring options for this are 12V battery wired or AC power, and also *require* wifi. Alternatively, most of SimpliSafe's sensor devices can be used on cellular with monitoring, and are powered by their own batteries.

I went with SimpliSafe because while other companies also had remote smoke/CO sensors, they didn't also have the customizable temperature sensor like SimpliSafe does. The propane/natural gas sensor would be the icing on the cake for me with this company, on top of them already sending me extra backup batteries! 

Is anyone else interested in this option as well? Has anyone heard from SimpliSafe whether they are working on this?

I would PRE-pay for this!!! Lol. My current gas sensor setup is a pain

I'd love to see this in the line up

Here in Illinois the government is working on a bill to mandate gas leak detectors in homes. In the state there have been several house explosions and that is driving the bill. 

I would definitely add gas leak detectors to my system. It is fine to just have an alarm if someone is home. I believe it is more important to alert the monitoring service when no one is home. 

Given that I just read today of a house that blew up because of a gas leak, this is something I wish SimpliSafe had.  

I would buy a couple of these sensors in a heartbeat.

I would absolutely add gas detection sensors to our existing system. 

I agree. I’m hard of hearing especially when I am sleeping and do not have my hearing aids in. I live alone in a large ranch style home. My furnace and hot water heater are on the far end of the house in a partial basement. If I had a gas leak detector that was part of the SimpliSafe system, I know I would receive a phone call if the alarm went off. There was a house explosion in my area recently where a couple lost their lives. If they would have had a gas leak detector, they possibly would’ve had time to get out. 

It would be nice for SS to develop a gas detector.  I'd take it a little further and integrate a solenoid actuated shut-off valve at the regulator or meter when detector activates.

I know this is an old thread but I think this is a great idea for total home protection. Its the only major sensor that is missing. 

@SimpliSafe:  This is just one of many private labeling opportunities SS can do to increase customer goodwill and profits.

Win.win. WIFI water shutoff valves, gas sensors, electrical AC monitor (Ting), Garage Door openers, the list just keeps going on.

Great idea for safety! Gas leak detection is crucial in older homes with natural gas. While I'm not sure about SimpliSafe integration, I'd recommend checking out the Forensics Detectors Gas Leak Detector - it has a Japanese FIGARO sensor calibrated for methane with adjustable sound, light, and vibration alarms loud enough to wake you at night. It's built tough with a 5-year sensor life and detects natural gas, propane, and other combustible gases. Even without direct system integration, having a dedicated gas detector near your appliances and sleeping areas gives you that critical early warning protection you're looking for!

I would love to see you guys come out with a natural gas or propane gas detector I personally need a propane one either probably would work for either depending on where you mount it

Please develop a propane gas leak detector.  In Mammoth Lakes, CA every home runs on propane and several homes have blown up over the years due to leaks in the propane systems from snow weight.  There is a massive need for a remote monitored system in this area, and it is my understanding is or is going to be a new building code to require this.
