Damage Control

A 24-inch top control smart built-in stainless dishwasher features an auto release door that automatically opens to circulate air to improve drying performance. A water sensor by the dishwasher is part of the home’s wireless security system. It triggers an audible alarm when it encounters water to prevent costly damage from leaks and floods.

Always on Alert

The base station that acts as the brain for the wireless home security system sits on the kitchen counter. If a sensor on the system is triggered, it sends a signal to the base station, which emits a loud, 100-dB siren and notifies you immediately.

Enhanced Security

This advanced security system now includes an entry sensor alert feature that enables the base station to announce the entry sensor by name whenever the door is open. For example, if the front door is opened, the base station replies with “Front Door Entry Sensor Open” instead of a basic chime.
