What it is
A sensor crown for a wet-floor sign, with a wall dock, that does three jobs.
What it does
Who it's for
Hotels, apartment buildings and offices.
The idea
The problem today
A hotel or apartment building proves its wet-floor signs were out only from staff memory, checks back-of-house heat with a handheld meter, and hears about vaping from guest complaints. Our own three single-job products for these jobs add up to $1,547 plus $230 a month, each on its own wall or ceiling.
With FloorSafe
A small crown on each sign's handle logs when the sign is opened, folded and put back, and shows the heat colour on a light ring. On its wall dock it charges, counts as a floor-walk checkpoint and watches the air full-time for vape and smoke. One app keeps the sign timeline, the heat log and the air events.
How the parts connect
Every part, what links it to the brain, and how the data reaches your phone. A solid line is a cable; a dashed line is a radio link.
The program
for (;;) {
State s = sign_state(lis3dh_read(), dock_power()); // DEPLOYED / DOCKED / MOVING
if (s != last.s) publish("fs/sign", s); // SignTag job
if (s == DOCKED || air_window_due()) {
sen66_read(&air); // I2C, 1 Hz
if (event_step(&ev, &air) == EVENT_DONE) // vape / smoke job
publish("fs/air_event", gbt_classify(&ev));
}
if (minute_tick()) {
float hi = heat_index(sht45_read()); // heat job
heat = pick_band(hi, cfg.rules); // e.g. 82 / 87 °F
publish("fs/heat", hi, heat);
}
ring_show(heat, s == DEPLOYED); // colour + amber flash
sleep_until_next(s);

Staff phone and manager browser (web app)
One screen for each job FloorSafe does.
Wet floorA cleaner opens sign 3 on a spill in the lobby. The app logs when and where, and when it goes back on its dock.
Floor walksOn each round, staff tap their phone on the sign's dock. Every tap is timed, so there is proof the floor was checked.
Heat stressIn the laundry, the sign's light ring turns yellow when the heat index climbs. Staff get a break reminder.
Vape and smokeWhen it's docked in a stairwell, the sign reads the air every second and flags a vape cloud. It names the place, never a person.
App screens with sample data. The interface is in development.
| Sign state | Sign 3 out, lobby, 41 min | On each change |
|---|---|---|
| Walk tap | Lobby dock, verified | Each tap |
| Heat colour | Yellow, heat index 84 °F | Every minute |
| Air event | Vape, 86% sure, stairwell B | Each event |
| Crown battery | 92%, docked | Every 6 h |
No camera and no microphone. Staff taps carry a first name or PIN only; air events name a place, never a person.

From the product lab · ideation phase
It does the job of SpillGuard AI (sign log and walk checkpoints), HeatFlag (heat colour and heat log, indoors) and VapeSense AI (vape and smoke events) in one device. Those three cost $1,547 + $230 a month together; FloorSafe is $349 + $15 a month.
The sign lives on its wall dock most of the day, in a corridor or stairwell. There it reads the air every second on dock power. When the sign is out on a wet floor, it reads the air 1 minute in 5, so short events can be missed.
No. It measures and logs the indoor heat index and shows a colour. It is a monitor-and-alert aid; your heat plan, water, rest and cool-down areas are still needed.
No. It uses air, heat and tilt sensors only. Air events name a place, never a person.
No. It is a concept in design. Specifications are targets. We are not taking orders, reservations or deposits, and it has no ship date yet.
