Smart device burn detector

Abstract

A detector may include a male electrical connector, an electrical detection circuit, and a wireless transmitter. The electrical detection circuit receives power through the male electrical connector; detects a predetermined hazard, the predetermined hazard including a gaseous hazard, a thermal hazard, or both a gaseous hazard and a thermal hazard; and upon detection of the predetermined hazard, generates an electrical signal indicating that the predetermined hazard has been detected. The wireless transmitter receives power through the male electrical connector and, upon receiving the electrical signal, transmits a wireless signal indicating that the predetermined hazard has been detected. The detector may be used in a system including a plurality of such detectors plugged into a plurality of electrical sockets in an electrical circuit in a structure. In use, the detector(s), upon detecting the predetermined hazard, wirelessly alert a monitoring unit that then wirelessly transmits a warning signal.
