The kitchen is the home's heart—but also its greatest fire risk.
In this IoT Leaders episode, Nick Earle explores how technology can make cooking safer without changing how people cook. Unattended stoves remain the top cause of house fires, but smart retrofits and better standards promise a shift from reactive to proactive safety.

In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why unattended cooking is the top fire risk
- Retrofitting existing appliances for smart safety
- How UL standards can drive industry change
- Using data and AI to spot risky patterns
- Building seamless connections with the Matter protocol
Tune in to hear how safety is becoming standard in the smart home.
