01
Mount it on a wall
Pick a stable indoor wall. The adhesive strip is pre-applied; screw holes are there if you prefer.
Early-stage hardware startup
How does your building actually behave in an earthquake? Let's measure it.
SismoSmart plugs into the wall. It monitors your building's motion 24/7. When a real tremor hits, it notifies your phone and records what happened. An engineer can read it later. A fixed sensor for your home, with clear limits.

Where we stand
We're not an official warning system. Honesty first.
SismoSmart is in its pilot phase. The device records what happens in your building so your team — or an engineer — can read the data afterwards. It doesn't replace government alerts. It doesn't replace post-earthquake structural inspection. It's an additional layer.

How it works
Set up in three steps. Then it runs in the background.
Setup takes under five minutes. The device learns your building, learns the seasons, and tells you when something real is happening.
02
Pair from the app
Open SismoSmart on your phone. Find the device over Bluetooth, share your Wi-Fi credentials.
03
It learns the building
Over the first few days it builds a baseline of your building's normal vibration. After that it can tell what's not normal.
04
Alerts when there's a real event
When meaningful shaking happens, your phone gets a notification. If nearby devices confirm, the alert is more reliable.
05
Records what happened
The device captures raw data during and after the event. Later, an engineer can read it to understand how your building responded.
06
More devices, better results
Multiple devices in one building reveal how different floors move. Multiple devices in one neighborhood cut false alarms.
What it does
Several different jobs, one device.
Not just an alarm. Long-term structural health tracking, real-time earthquake notification, and post-event reporting — in one piece of hardware.
01
Detects tremors
A sensitive MEMS sensor reads ground vibration 250 times per second. It separates real shaking from regular traffic and footsteps.
02
Notifies your phone
When the device detects something, your phone gets a push. Clear message: drop, cover, hold on.
03
Tracks your building's health
Over weeks and months it tracks your building's natural frequency and damping. Abnormal change in these is an early signal of structural issues.
04
Reports after an earthquake
Peak acceleration, duration, how your building responded — all in one short report. A reference for the engineer before they visit.
05
Reads temperature and humidity too
Building behavior changes with the season. Environmental data helps interpret that change correctly.
06
Stronger together
Each device in your neighborhood contributes to a shared signal. More devices, faster confirmation, fewer false alarms.
Pilot path
Validate in real buildings, with real users, first.
Before we scale, we focus on a small number of real pilots. The product matures with their feedback. We're starting with these three segments.
Apartments
One or more devices per flat, plus one in common areas. A free six-month pilot with the building manager.
Campuses and factories
Facilities with multiple buildings. One device per building, all visible from a central dashboard.
University partnerships
Data sharing with earthquake engineering departments. Researchers get anonymized access, we get academic feedback.
FAQ
Direct answers.
Straight answers to what you asked. If we missed a question, write to info@sismosmart.com.
Will this device warn me before an earthquake?+
We're talking seconds, not minutes. If the earthquake comes from a distance, the device can pick up the P-wave and notify you before the stronger S-wave arrives. But this isn't possible for every earthquake. For nearby epicenters, the warning window is very short.
Can a single device tell me my building is safe?+
No. A single device can't declare a building 'safe' or 'unsafe'. That's the engineer's call. The device gives the engineer better data — the decision stays with them.
What data do you collect?+
Device vibration readings, temperature, humidity, pressure, device health. We don't link personal information to your device. We don't sell your data. Details on the Privacy page.
Is my location exposed?+
We know your device's approximate location (neighborhood-level, not street-level) because we need it for event correlation. Finer location only with an explicit pilot agreement.
Can researchers access my data?+
Only when anonymized and only under a separate agreement with you. That flow doesn't exist yet — it's on the roadmap.
How is this different from Google's earthquake alerts?+
Google uses the accelerometer in your phone, for free, everywhere. That's great. But it can't measure your building's health — it can only estimate the earthquake source. We focus on your building: how it vibrates, how it changes with the season, what state it's in after an earthquake. That's what Google doesn't do.
What happens during an internet outage?+
The device keeps working and records events locally. It can't send notifications without Wi-Fi. When the connection returns, it uploads the pending events.
What about a power outage?+
There's a small supercapacitor inside the device. It provides about 30–60 seconds of bridge power. That's enough to send the last event to the cloud. Longer outages shut the device down.
Is installation difficult?+
Plug it into the wall over USB-C, stick it to a wall with the adhesive on the back, pair from the app. No drilling, no wiring, no technician. Five minutes.
How many should I have in one building?+
One works. But two or three on different floors show how floors move together. That is more useful for structural health. In apartment pilots we target at least three devices per building.
When does it launch?+
Pilots in summer 2026. Broader launch by end of 2026 or early 2027. Certification and manufacturing may shift the timeline. Sign up for the newsletter to be told first.
