Carbon Defense

Abstract

The present invention relates to a home safety device for use with a garage area in the home to detect the level of carbon monoxide and alert the user or occupants in the home accordingly. The device is configured to continual monitoring of the carbon monoxide levels in the garage. When the carbon monoxide level reaches a dangerous level for a prescribed amount of time, the device sounds a high-decibel alarm and sends a signal to the electric garage door opener to open the garage door simultaneously. In response to the transmitted signal, the garage door opens to significantly increase the ventilation and lower the CO level within the garage. The fresh air disperses and dilutes the carbon dioxide rendering a much safer environment. The device further configured to alert the user via a text message.
