Abstract
Home telematics devices are engineered to identify unique device signatures for all appliances, fixtures, and so on that generate voltage noise, pressure waves, and acoustic responses throughout a property. The device signatures comprise the inventory of devices in the insured's home and are used to create an electronic record of the devices that assists him in filing a claim with an insurer that is quick and easy after a theft or total loss. Using the device signatures provided by home telematics devices' sensing an itemization technology, fraud detection is also possible. Additionally, analytics software predicts possible failure by analyzing the device signatures.
