## Process

### Mount the device

Indoor wall, ideally near a structural element.

### Pair with your phone

Find it over Bluetooth from the app. Share Wi-Fi credentials securely.

### The building learns

Over the first few days, the device records your building's normal vibration profile.

### Report when events happen

You get a push when shaking is detected. A detailed report is ready in the app afterwards.

## Signals

### Detection on the device

The device doesn't wait for an answer from the cloud. The moment it detects meaningful vibration it makes its own call, and confirms afterwards. A slow connection, or none at all, still produces a notification.

### Post-earthquake report

You get a single summary: peak acceleration, duration, shift in your building's natural frequency.

### Only the necessary data

We don't monitor your activity. The device shares vibration, temperature, humidity, pressure, and its own status.

## Network

### Neighborhood mesh

When three or more devices in the same area trigger together, the event is marked 'confirmed'. False-alarm risk is lower.

### Structural health tracking

Your building's vibration profile drifts slowly over weeks and months. A sudden change can be the early sign of a structural problem, and the device flags it.

### Simple interface

The device does complex work in the background. You see a simple status: green, yellow, red.

## Safety and product status

SismoSmart is not an emergency service and does not determine whether a building is safe. Follow official alerts and qualified engineers.

SismoSmart is a pre-launch product. Hardware, detection, connectivity, performance and certification details are design targets until pilot validation and formal approval.
