Tertnes Borettslag, built in the 1970s, modernized its aging safety systems by installing sfty by Resideo. This intelligent safety management platform now protects residents from fire, smoke, and water damage across its 180-apartment complex. With 355 smoke detectors and 181 water leak detectors, the sfty platform provides continuous monitoring, allowing remote identification and investigation of safety issues, even when residents are away.
Lars Aakre, Deputy Head of the Board, noted, “Most of our residents are away during the day. With sfty, the administration is much easier.”
The key benefits of installing sfty include identifying safety incidents early, continuous 24/7 monitoring, early warning for high-risk areas like EV charging stations, instant evacuation guidance via a mobile app, and automated weekly maintenance reports. The sfty platform is especially beneficial in high-risk areas like the parking garage with EV charging stations, where early detection and evacuation are critical for safety.
sfty has detected 127 water leaks, preventing small leaks from causing major damage. The next goal is to install automatic water shutoff valves to further reduce potential damage. Lars Aakre emphasized the importance of early alerts, stating, “You can’t use water on an electrical fire like you can a standard fire, so it’s very important to alert people early.”
The sfty platform’s management dashboard, sfty Control has transformed maintenance, providing automated weekly reports and reducing the need for manual checks. New residents receive a thorough introduction to the sfty platform, ensuring they understand how to manage safety devices and use the app.

Lars Aakre added, “Everyone is happy with sfty, and it’s easy for new residents to manage as we take a hands-on approach to explaining the system.”
