The Fox&Summit® Pull Cord Sensor leverages existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks for a hub-free ecosystem. This simplifies installation with a wireless and wire-free set up and reduces cost to consumers by eliminating the need to purchase an additional smart hub.

"We developed a device that is unique to the smart home market in the U.S.," says Vincent Reapor, CIPO/COO of Fox&Summit®. "In Europe, it is common for hotel guests to find these types of devices near the showers of accessible rooms. We thought, with the aging population and the growth of in-home health industry, there was an opportunity to introduce a smart sensor with the same functionality. Ultimately, the Pull Cord Sensor offers people an affordable, hub-free device that assists in their ability to care for friends and family who may need some extra care."

The Fox&Summit® Pull Cord Sensor is currently available to U.S. customers from Fox&Summit® for $29.49 and will soon be available through other authorized Fox&Summit® retail channels. Please visit Fox&Summit® for more products details on the Wi-Fi Pull Cord Sensor (FS-PCS200).
