# Fidelity turns to Sigfox to spot fires before they start

**[TechCentral](https://daily.dev/sources/techcentral)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Fidelity SecureFire has launched HeatWatch, a fire-risk monitoring service built on Sigfox South Africa's 0G IoT network. A sensor sticker monitors surface temperature on assets like inverters, battery banks and distribution boards, sending alerts over the low-power network when thresholds are exceeded. Alerts go to Fidelity's 24/7 command centre, which can dispatch fire response teams within its coverage footprint. The Sensor Sticker offers a two-year battery life, requires no wiring, and is priced at R977 including VAT with monitoring included.
