Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CTS Smart Sensor work?

Our sensor uses a patent-pending combination of thermal imaging and advanced AI to spot potential fire risks early. It constantly watches over the cooktop, looking for unsafe conditions, and can automatically shut off power to the stove to stop problems before the smoke or fire ever begin.

What types of cooktops does the sensor work with?

The CTS Smart Sensor works with electric radiant, coil, and induction cooktops or ranges. A version for gas cooktops will be available in 2026.

Is the CTS Smart Sensor difficult to install?

No, the installation is quick and easy, taking less than 15 minutes and does not require an electrician. Using 3M command strips (included) the sensor is mounted on your backsplash under the vent hood or microwave just above the cooktop or range.

Connect the electric stove to our CTS power cut off, activate and use the CTS app to guild you through the install.

Does the sensor have a camera?

No, our device uses thermal imagery for non-intrusive presence monitoring. There is no camera, so your privacy is always protected.

What happens if the sensor predicts a fire risk?

If the sensor senses a potentially unsafe situation, it will alert you with a clear voice message and flashing lights. If the risk is high or cooking is left unattended, it will automatically turn off power to the cooktop or range to help prevent accidents. Once everything is safe, you can easily restore power to the stove by pressing the button on the sensor.

Does the CTS Sensor work with gas stoves

The CTS Smart Sensor gas version will be available in early 2026 that will have added features around the sensing of gas and cooking particulates with a gas shut off valve.
