LO Wireless, Inc. Introduces Zen Node -
Intelligent Fire Alert and Emergency Help Button
Appliance
1888PressRelease - Zen Node wireless appliance
"listens" to the sound of a fire alarm and
notifies you by SMS/email. Zen Node also has a
built in "Help" button that allows anyone in need
to summon your help immediately. The
communication between you and Zen Node is direct
and does not depend on external service. There
are no service plans, fees or contracts, making
it the lowest cost monitoring device in the
market. Zen Node main and unique benefits 1.
Up-smart the smoke detectors you already have -
Zen Node allows your existing fire and smoke
detection systems to communicate with you when
you are out of the house, without the use of a
monitoring company. Zen Node functions as an
"ear" that listens and detects smoke alarm sound
pattern. Once the sound pattern is detected, Zen
Node informs you directly of the emergency. Zen
Node is a simple addition to what you already
have. There is no need to replace your existing
smoke detectors with expensive "smart" devices.

2. Coverage - One Zen Node can cover most typical
homes. A single device has a listening radius of
about 24 feet. That's an area of 1800 sq. ft.,
which will typically cover a number of smoke
detectors. This is in contrast to competition
offerings which require replacing each smoke
detector with a special device - an expensive
proposition. 3. No fees, no service plans, no
contracts, no 3rd party - Zen Node provides a
direct link between the device and you. It sends
notification directly to your smartphone (or to
anybody you designated). Your data stays with
you. There is no need to sign a contract with
anybody and no need to pay any service
fees. This direct communication approach makes
Zen Node unique. Other monitoring solutions
require signing up with external monitoring and
service call center. This entails service plan
subscriptions, contracts, monthly fees and
sharing of personal data. 4. Help button -
Separately from the fire alert, Zen Node
integrates a call button that generates SMS/email
to notify that someone is in need for immediate
attention. This button is the simplest and
shortest way to alert you of loved ones in
need. Technical description - Zen Node includes
patent-pending sound analyzing and detection
system and an emergency push button function. The
sensor performs sound pattern recognition to
distinguish between standard-based smoke detector
alarm sound and any unrelated noise, to prevent
false alarms.

- Zen Node employs USB form factor communication
controller that plugs into available USB port of
home or business PC and acts as a network
coordinator. Together they establish 2.4GHz low
power Zigbee private wireless network. The
controller can handle and interconnect any amount
of Zen Nodes, automatically configuring them into
Zigbee mesh network. - Free downloadable PC
application, currently supporting Window XP,
Vista and Windows 7. It enables easy programming
of phone numbers and email addresses of alert
recipients. - Simple, reliable notification
mechanism when fire alarm sound is detected or
when Help button is pressed, Zen Node sends
wireless alert over Zigbee network to the
communication controller. The controller wakes up
the PC and activates the application which sends
email to user or text, using email-to-text
gateway of the cellular provider. - Dimensions
The device is 2.94"W x 0.98"H (2.94"W x 1.12"H
with integrated wall mounting plate) and weighs
less than 5 oz. It is powered by 2 AAA
batteries. Availability - Zen Node pre-orders
