Eaton has introduced a product called Home Heartbeat that can alert homeowners to problems of all sorts via text message while they are gone. The system includes a base station, home key device, and sensors.

The DIY kit can be installed in 20 minutes and additional sensors can be added. The entire setup is wireless and provides real-time monitoring of your home. The sensors can be used to warn you of leaks or notify you of doors or windows left open. The sensors can also remind you if appliances were left on.

Available sensors include power, motion, attention, water shutoff, garage door, open close sensor, reminder sensor, and more. The starter kit retails for $224.95 and a whole home kit retails for $623.
