The smart home kits are designed to help protect homeowners from some of
the most common causes of loss. The smart home kits include:
- Security cameras.
- Water sensors.
- Motion detectors with multi-sensor capabilities.

A smart home hub that wirelessly connects a wide range of smart

Travelers also recently introduced new Alexa skills: the “Travelers”
skill, which assists the company’s home insurance policyholders with
questions regarding billing and payments; and the “Travelers Home
Central” skill, which enables all consumers to access property
maintenance and home safety tips. For example, “Alexa, ask Travelers
when is my bill due,” or “Alexa, ask Home Central for a fall home
