Where to place your sensors
Sounding smoke and co-alarms
Receive a notification when the alarm sounds by placing a sensor near your UL-listed smoke or carbon monoxide detector (under 10 years old)
Water leaks
Help avoid water damage by placing a sensor near your water heater, washing machine, kitchen sink or any other areas prone to water damage
Doors and windows
Keep tabs on important points of entry by placing a sensor on any door, window, garage door, cabinet, or your safe
Temperature changes
Help avoid frozen pipes, discomfort, and other risks by placing a sensor in rooms or areas sensitive to temperature changes
Peace of mind
The sensors will automatically alert you when something is wrong with a notification to your smartphone. The only information Honey uses is whether or not your smart home devices are active to ensure you can keep your discount year after year.

Frequently good questions
Why does Honey provide smart home devices with their home insurance policies?
At Honey we believe that protecting your home starts before an accident even occurs.
Many at-home accidents such as water leaks, fires and break-ins can be avoided by using the latest smart home technology. Avoiding these accidents can save you money and the inconvenience of needing your home fixed and contents replaced because something went wrong.
How does the smart discount work?
You’re entitled to your premium discount of up to 8%, provided you:
- Install and keep the Smart Home Monitoring System operational for the period of insurance after installation
- Install and activate the smart home sensors within 28 days after you receive them
- Notify Honey within 7 days if you detect a defect after receiving them
- Keep your sensors online. If they’re offline 28 days after receiving them, you may lose your discount for the remainder of the policy term.
You can head over to ourterms pagefor more details.
And don’t worry, we’ll send you a couple of emails or texts to let you know when your sensors are detected to be offline – to help remind you to get your sensors back online and continue to monitor your home.
Are the sensors made by Honey?
Your smart home system has been developed by our (really) smart friends at Notion. Notion is a leading technology partner for smart property monitoring, supporting proactive maintenance, and providing value-add smart technology for their customers. Powered by multifunctional sensors and an app, the Notion System delivers notifications to a property owner – empowering proactive self-monitoring to help de-risk a property.
We’ve vetted them, and we’re not the first. But we are the first in Australia to tap into this leading partner for smart property monitoring.
Is smart home sensor data used in the processing of claims?
No smart home sensor data is used in the processing of claims. The sensors are there to help alert you to potential mishaps before they escalate. That’s the beauty of the sensors, they’re able to let you know about door openings, water leaks, and smoke alarms, to help de-risk your home in order for you to claim less. They’re there for your safety, savings and peace of mind.
Can I get sensors with my Contents Insurance?
Right now, sensors are only eligible for those who take out a Home & Contents or Home policy. We’ll be sure to let you know if we extend the addition of sensors to contents and landlord policies.
