Sky might be famed for its TV and broadband but the satellite telly firm is launching something completely new. Along with offering entertainment, Sky now wants to help customers protect their homes as well with the unveiling of a service called Sky Protect Smart Home Insurance.
Although that may sound pretty unexciting, the company is hoping to give the home insurance market a serious shakeup by not only offering an easy way to take out the product but also bundling a host of smart tech with it as well.
In fact, those signing up for the full package will get devices including a video doorbell, indoor camera and motion sensors. There are even three leak detectors thrown in as well which will go off should water start rushing out of the pipework.
