From Shark Tank to Smart Home Game-Changer

IoT Leaders

The kitchen is the home's heart—but also its greatest fire risk.

In this IoT Leaders episode, Nick Earle explores how technology can make cooking safer without changing how people cook. Unattended stoves remain the top cause of house fires, but smart retrofits and better standards promise a shift from reactive to proactive safety.

Akshita Iyer explains how smarter knobs, automation, and data-driven monitoring can reduce risk, while US industry standards like UL push manufacturers toward built-in solutions. They also discuss the role of AI and device integration in the connected home.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why unattended cooking is the top fire risk
• Retrofitting existing appliances for smart safety
• How UL standards can drive industry change
• Using data and AI to spot risky patterns
• Building seamless connections with the Matter protocol

Tune in to hear how safety is becoming standard in the smart home.
