Don’t rely solely on Zendo for critical or life-threatening situations. Sensor readings can be delayed or unavailable due to network issues, device settings, or hardware problems. Always ensure you have dedicated safety systems and backup alert methods in place.
Intro
With Zendo, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, gas leak detectors, and water leak detectors live on your floorplan, giving you an instant view of any active alerts across your property.
Safety sensors are visible in Security & Safety mode.
Add sensors to the floorplan
Add an accessory for each room where you have a smoke, CO, gas or water leak sensor. You can add multiple sensors to the same room and their status is aggregated automatically.
Set up a critical push notification to alert you immediately when a sensor triggers. Critical notifications bypass mute and Do Not Disturb settings, so you won’t miss an alert even if your phone is silenced.
On the floorplan
Sensors are grouped by room. The room icon turns red when any sensor in the room detects an issue.
The Activity & Cameras button at the bottom of the floorplan turns red when any sensor across all floors detects an issue.
Safety sensor detail
Tapping a safety sensor on the floorplan opens the detail overview. It shows “No Safety Issues” when all sensors are clear, or a list of active alerts (e.g. “Smoke detected - CO detected”) when one or more sensors detect an issue.
If you’ve added a CO sensor and the sensor reports CO concentration, an air quality indicator bar is displayed showing the current level.
Safety alerts in the Activity & Cameras view
When one or more sensors detect an issue, a Safety Alerts section appears at the top of the Activity & Cameras view.
Each affected room is shown. Tap a tile to open the activity history for that room.
