I have four natural gas appliances in my home and I’d like to monitor them for natual gas leakage. The only thing I’ve been able to find is a stand alone gas alarm, but if no one is home, it doesn’t do much good. I’d like to integrate something into my Ring alarm. I’ve determined the following…
- Ring doesn’t have a natural gas sensor
- As far as I can tell, no one has a Z-Wave natural gas sensor available for sale in the US
- Smoke/CO2 alarm “listeners” won’t work because they listen for a very specific smoke alarm signal and a stand alone gas alarm doesn’t emit that signal when it goes off.
- CO2 alarms won’t be triggered by natural gas.
- The only thing I’ve been able to even dream up is to get a stand alone gas alarm and an Echo Dot and set them next to each other. Then create an Alexa routine that says…“Hey Alexa, when you hear a big loud noise (like a gas alarm) then tell Ring to trigger an alarm.” I don’t even know if some clunky arragement like that would work, but it’s the only thing I could come up with.
Even if my #5 hack above would work, is there a better way to pull this off?
Thanks!
