FireAngel announces partnership with Mears Group

Public Sector Fri, Sep 21, 2018 9:27 AM

One of Europe’s leading manufacturers of home safety products, FireAngel, has secured an exclusive partnership with national housing and service provider, Mears Group, to provide tenants with a bespoke connected home management system.

With Mears responsible for the maintenance, repair and upgrade of over 700,000 social housing properties across the UK, the new relationship will see FireAngel supply Mears and its clients with an integrated connected home management system using FireAngel’s Wi Safe 2 interlink technology to connect FireAngel’s Wi Safe 2 smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms to a cloud-based system for remote monitoring.

FireAngel Connect has been developed to enable continuous monitoring of appliances and smart devices within domestic properties via a central, cloud based system. This allows Mears to monitor and manage FireAngel smoke, heat and CO alarms remotely and tenants to review important fire and safety information relating to their property.

The system is accessed via a wall mounted touchscreen tablet and will enable Mears’ clients to streamline maintenance management processes by facilitating direct interaction with tenants when seeking to arrange repairs and maintenance visits. Alongside FireAngel’s Wi-Safe 2 network, the System utilises Z-Wave wireless communication technology, providing the potential for the System in future to connect with other devices and offer additional functionality.

David Miles, Chief Executive of Mears, commented: “We are very pleased to have signed this partnership agreement with FireAngel. There are real safety, commercial and financial benefits to optimising our interaction with tenants and reducing the number of unanswered visits from our maintenance teams. We are witnessing a transition to integrated technologies and the FireAngel system will enable us to centralise those technologies into one central hub. We look forward to introducing the FireAngel solution to our clients across the footprint.”

The system will also feature FireAngel’s unique, patent pending, predictive algorithm technology, FireAngel Predict®, which uses cloud-based technology alongside predictive algorithms and data from homes to identify properties with an increased risk of fire in real time.

Neil Smith, Chief Executive of FireAngel, commented: “Following significant R&D investment, I am pleased to announce our collaboration with Mears, which takes our smart, connected and existing products into the heart of the UK social housing sector. By integrating our technological expertise into our Mears’ solution, we believe that FireAngel can significantly enhance the quality of service and support through a range of connected safety monitoring devices for housing tenants across the UK.
