Travelers said the smart home kits are designed to help protect homeowners from some of the most common causes of loss. It will be offered at discounted prices for Travelers home insurance customers. The kit will include insurance and risk management information, security cameras, water sensors, motion detectors with multi-sensor capabilities, a smart home hub with wireless connectivity, and an Amazon Echo Dot.
“This is an exciting example of Travelers executing on our innovation agenda to be the undeniable choice for the customer and an indispensable partner for our agents and brokers,” said Alan Schnitzer, chairman and CEO at Travelers. “It advances our priorities of extending our lead in risk expertise and providing great experiences for our customers, agents and brokers.”
