CTS offers an AI‑powered Smart Kitchen Sensor that monitors heat and motion above a stove to predict unsafe conditions before a fire starts. When danger is detected, the device issues voice and light alerts, and if unaddressed, its CTS Power Cutoff automatically cuts power to the stove, preventing the leading cause of home fires. The system installs in minutes, works without Wi‑Fi, and is made in the USA.

Problem
Unattended cooking and overheating burners are the leading cause of residential kitchen fires, yet most safety devices only react after a fire has already started, leaving a critical window of danger unaddressed.
Solution
CTS provides an AI‑powered Smart Kitchen Sensor that continuously monitors heat and motion above a stove to predict unsafe temperature rises. When a potential hazard is detected, the system issues voice and light alerts to prompt user action. If no response is received, the optional CTS Power Cutoff automatically cuts power to the stove, preventing a fire before it can ignite. The sensor installs in minutes, operates without Wi‑Fi or cameras, and integrates with CTS Essentials Plus for remote shut‑off, lock, and scheduling capabilities. By also tracking overall room temperature, CTS offers broader home safety beyond the stovetop.
Target Audience
Primary customers are homeowners and renters who use conventional stovetops and seek an easy-to‑install solution to prevent kitchen fires, as well as property managers and safety-conscious rental agencies.
