Safety & Detection on OGLAS — Off-Grid Local Alert System

Smoke & Gas

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A smoke alarm nobody can hear from the house is no alarm at all. The OGLAS Smoke & Gas sensor puts detection in the buildings that matter on a remote site — and gets the alert to you wherever you are.

What it does

Detects smoke — early-warning detection in sheds, workshops, and stores well away from the house.
Detects combustible gas — LPG, methane, and the like, around gas stores and pump houses.
Detects toxic gas — carbon monoxide in a generator shed or workshop.
Alerts immediately — straight to the bell, every bell on site, and (with Cloud) a push to your phone. This is the message that doesn’t wait.

Honest scope

This is monitoring and early warning for remote, unattended buildings, not a replacement for the certified smoke alarms your dwelling is required to have. It covers the sheds and outbuildings those alarms never reach.

Noise

Sound is a surprisingly good sensor. The OGLAS Noise sensor reports a sound level — not a recording — so you can tell, from anywhere, whether something is running, alarming, or happening when it shouldn’t be.

What it does

Measures sound level — ambient dB over time, with thresholds you set.
Detects “running” — a pump, compressor, or generator is audibly on; pair that with Power Monitoring to confirm it’s working.
Detects “alarming” — another alarm sounding (a separate smoke alarm, a reversing beeper, a siren) becomes an OGLAS alert.
Detects “activity” — noise in a yard or shed that should be quiet overnight.

It reports a level and threshold crossings only — no audio leaves the device, which keeps it private and keeps the data tiny — see Your data is your data.

Trap Trigger

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Checking traps is the same problem as checking troughs: a long drive, mostly to find nothing. The OGLAS Trap Trigger sensor tells you the instant a trap fires, so you only make the trip when there’s a reason to — and you make it quickly.

What it does

Detects activation — a switch or sensor on the trap mechanism fires the moment it’s triggered.
Alerts immediately — straight to your hub, the bell, the cab display, or your phone via Cloud.
Time-stamps and locates — when it fired, and (with GPS) which trap, so you go straight to it.
Runs for months — it sleeps and waits for a single event, so battery life is measured in seasons.

Why it matters

For pest and feral control, a sprung trap left for days is both ineffective and inhumane. Knowing within minutes means you can dispatch or release quickly, and reset the trap so it’s working again sooner.
