Typical seismographs cost $20,000. Grillo has created a $50 sensor featuring precision accelerometer, controller, wifi and gps to allow home owners to have their own earthquake warning system.
It has Industry-proven detection algorithms that is been baked into the sensors of the device that can connect to internet(wireless) and to a smart phone to alert.
It’s a system that can buy vital seconds for residents to brace themselves before the tremors begin. The compact device — a cube about the size of an alarm clock — taps into the special frequencies that SASMEX operates on and relays that information to its users.
When seismic activity is detected, the Grillo sounds a loud, flashing alarm and can also send alert via internet to smart phone.
