It lights up on the dash panel when something isn't quite right with the motor. It can be something minor like a sensor that's unplugged or it can be something very significant like you have two cylinders misfiring because water and oil are leaking in.\r\n\r\nSo if we have that for cars, why not have that for homes? You've got a water heater, a furnace, central air systems, pipes or pex for water, all your kitchen appliances, and more devices and equipment that could break, leak, or not be performing properly.\r\n\r\nThis is what Dan Simpkins at Dwellwell is working to solve. Dwellwell has just emerged from stealth mode a few weeks ago and is ready to share with the world a new system that functions as the check engine light for the home. Dan breaks down how a simple plug and play device in the home can be powerful enough to recognize problems throughout the home and what that could mean for preventative maintenance or spotting a problem that needs to be fixed sooner.\r\n\r\nDan isn't a first time inventor or entrepreneur. If you've ever used VOIP or a smart TV, then you've used products he's directly responsible for bringing to market. Listen in to Dan's ideas and vision for a smarter home that goes beyond bluetooth door locks.
