For caregivers
You can't be there every time they cook. CTS can
Caring for a loved one who still cooks on their own means never quite switching off. The CTS Smart Kitchen Sensor gives you an extra set of eyes on their stove, with real-time alerts and remote shut-off with CTS Essentials Plus, and the everyday signs they are doing okay, so you can help from anywhere.
Why caregivers choose CTS
Help them stay independent, and stop worrying
Catches unsafe and unattended cooking early
Thermal AI reads the real heat on the stove and catches an overheating pan or a burner left on early, warning with voice and light.
Shuts the stove off automatically
If no one responds, the CTS Power Cutoff cuts power to the stove on its own, before a fire can start.
Alerts you the moment something is wrong
With CTS Essentials Plus, get a push notification wherever you are, so you can act right away.
Shut it off from anywhere
With CTS Essentials Plus, disable and lock the stove remotely from the app if they do not respond. Check its status any time, free.
Cooking activity and trends
With CTS Essentials Plus, the app shows when they last cooked and how their routine is trending, so a quiet change gets noticed early.
No camera, private and dignified
Thermal sensing only. It reads heat, not images, so their privacy is always protected.
At their stove
A safety net that works on its own
The sensor mounts above their stove and uses thermal sensing, not a camera, to watch for dangerous temperatures and unattended cooking. It warns your loved one with a clear voice and flashing lights, and if no one responds, the CTS Power Cutoff shuts the stove off on its own. It runs quietly in the background so they keep cooking for themselves.

Plus supports up to 3 caregivers, so the family shares one view.

Common questions
Stove safety for an aging parent, answered
Is there a device that automatically shuts off the stove if my parent forgets it?
Yes. The CTS Smart Kitchen Sensor watches the stove for dangerous temperatures and unattended cooking, and paired with the CTS Power Cutoff it shuts off power to the stove on its own if a warning goes unanswered. It is a backup for the moments attention slips, not a replacement for supervision, and power is restored with a press of the button on the sensor once things are safe.
Can I get an alert on my phone if something is wrong in their kitchen?
Yes, with CTS Essentials Plus. You get push notifications for dangerous and unattended-cooking events, and you can check the stove's status or disable and lock it remotely from the CTS Mobile App, from anywhere. Essentials Plus is $59.95 a year.
Can it help someone with dementia or memory loss?
It is built for exactly these moments. Cooking is the leading cause of home fires, and memory loss or distraction is a common cause. The sensor gives clear voice and light warnings at the stove and shuts the stove off automatically if no one responds, which can help a person keep cooking with a safety net in place. It supports a care plan, it does not replace supervision.
Does it use a camera? I do not want to invade their privacy.
No camera. The sensor uses thermal sensing only, so it reads heat, not images, and never records video or audio. It protects their privacy while still catching unsafe cooking.
Can I set it up for them without an electrician?
Yes. It is a DIY, plug-and-play install in about 10 minutes. The sensor mounts above the stove with 3M Command strips and the CTS Power Cutoff plugs into a standard 240V electric outlet, 3-prong or 4-prong. No electrician or tools required. It works with electric radiant, coil, and induction ranges.
What if the Wi-Fi goes down at their home?
The core protection works offline. The local alarm and the automatic stove shut-off run without Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is only needed for the remote features like phone alerts and remote lock.
