As risk evolves, so should protection
Automist was created to protect lives, legacies, and the homes that hold them.
Smarter detection.
Firefighting with precision
Smarter, not wetter.
Automist’s intelligent sprayhead uses infrared sensing to pinpoint the source of danger. Instead of drenching the room, it delivers a fine mist only where it’s needed—limiting water damage to your belongings and interiors.
Smaller droplets mean less damage
Protection that preserves.
Using less water than a power shower, Automist emits a high-pressure mist of tiny water droplets designed to absorb heat and cool flames fast. .
Because every second matters
Acts up to 14x faster than sprinklers
Traditional systems wait for a glass bulb to burst. Automist uses digital infrared sensing, trained on 300+ real fires, to spot heat patterns and act sooner — especially in slow-growing fires where time makes all the difference..
Smart enough to know the difference
Responds to danger, ignores daily life
Cooking steam, shower mist, even candles—Automist’s two-step verification ensures everyday activity doesn’t cause activation, while real fires get an instant response.
Proof of performance, resilience and robustness
Third-Party Tested.
Scientifically Proven.
Backed by research. Built for real homes.
Automist is the first domestic fire suppression system to pass UL’s rigorous test suite for electronically controlled nozzles—the result of 7 years of development. Peer-reviewed fire engineering research confirms it can respond up to 14× faster than sprinklers. When seconds matter, that speed saves lives and homes.

Frequently asked questions
Yes — Automist can be used as an alternative to an NFPA 13D fire sprinkler system in domestic occupancies, where permitted by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Automist is not an extinguishing system; it is a fire suppression system that is specifically designed and Listed for domestic use, meeting the intent of NFPA 13D sprinkler protection.
Learn moreIf you have scanned this QR code, you are looking at an Automist installation for training and demonstration purposes. Its correct operation is critical for a successful demonstration, especially the procedures post test to ensure the system is ready for a future test.
Learn moreAll electrical supplies to the Automist pump and controller should be installed in accordance with the regulations and requirements specific to your local jurisdiction. It is a requirement to install Automist on a separate circuit to the protected room and its contents. The fire detection and alarm system may use this circuit, as all must remain powered in the event of a fire.
Learn morePossibly. While insurance discounts or “policy credits” are determined on a case-by-case basis, Automist has already been used successfully to secure coverage and lower premiums for high-value homes — especially in wildfire-prone areas and PPC 10 risk classifications where traditional coverage is increasingly difficult to obtain.
As insurers tighten underwriting criteria due to rising wildfire risk and water damage claims, automatic discounts for standard fire suppression systems are becoming less common. However, Automist stands out as an innovative loss mitigation solution — not only by reducing fire damage, but also by minimizing the risk of excessive water damage, which is a major cost concern for insurers.
Learn moreYes, Automist can provide whole-house fire protection in compliance with NFPA 750, which governs water mist fire suppression systems for one- and two-family dwellings. It is designed to be a room-based solution, meaning multiple spray heads can be strategically installed throughout the home to ensure full coverage.
Learn moreYes. Automist uses artificial intelligence with thermal imaging to detect and target fires more intelligently than traditional sprinklers. Thermal cameras “see” heat rather than light, so they can identify the unique heat signatures of a fire even through smoke or in darkness. Unlike flame detectors, which only react to a visible flame, Automist interprets the thermal image to decide if suppression is truly needed. This means it can distinguish between real danger and harmless heat sources like ovens or fireplaces, greatly reducing the chance of false activations.
Learn moreTo ensure your Automist system is installed correctly and complies with all necessary standards, it must be fitted by a trained installer. In the US, we recommend choosing from our network of trained installers who are familiar with the system’s unique design and requirements. You can find our official list of approved installers here.
This ensures you receive a professional installation and the peace of mind that your Automist system will perform as intended.
