SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roost, a leader in Home Telematics for property insurance carriers, today announced it has partnered with Iceland’s TM Insurance, a customer service leader and market innovator. In a strategic agreement reached to increase member engagement as well as reduce claims costs, TM Insurance will offer a free Roost Smart Water Leak and Freeze Detectors and a Roost Smart Battery to select new and existing policyholders.

Serving homeowners across Iceland’s insurance market, TM Insurance will be deploying Roost smart sensors to select policyholders to help them better mitigate the cost and hassle of fire and water leak related claims.

The Roost Smart Water Leak and Freeze Detector is designed to sense water leaks as well as humidity and freezing temperature situations. Easily locate in places around the home most prone to water leaks such as sinks, hot water heaters, toilets and various appliances. It then delivers smartphone alerts via the Roost app to help minimize water damage and loss. These Wi-Fi enabled smart sensors, which will be delivered in TM Insurance co-branded packaging, don’t require a hub and set up in less than five minutes.

“It is exciting to be working with TM Insurance, Iceland’s innovation leader, as we add to Roost’s rapid International expansion,” said Roel Peeters, co-founder and CEO of Roost. “TM Insurance’s policyholders will now be able to take advantage of the leading Home Telematics solution, including free Roost smart sensors and our 24x7 notification platform.
