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 seven 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.

Knowledge base
Frequently asked questions
Automist uses smoke detection and thermal sensing to locate a fire, then selects the best-positioned wall-mounted spray head and targets it with high-pressure water mist. The system continuously monitors the fire while operating, can reposition if it moves, and uses just 2.37 gpm, helping reduce water use and consequential damage.
Learn moreConventional residential sprinklers can discharge 13+ gallons per minute across a room until the water supply is manually shut off, so even a successful activation can cause significant secondary water damage. Automist targets the fire using much less water and shuts off automatically, helping reduce damage, clean up and disruption after an incident.
Learn moreTraditional fire sprinkler quotes often exclude the cost of upgrading your water supply, which is why total costs can increase significantly. While the sprinkler system itself may cost as little as $5,000–$6,000, water utilities may require a larger meter to meet the system’s flow demand, adding both upfront installation fees and possible ongoing monthly charges. Depending on the property and infrastructure, these additional costs can range from a few thousand dollars to much higher in complex cases. Automist operates at significantly lower flow than conventional sprinklers – a standard domestic meter can handle the demand without upsizing.
Learn moreAutomist can help protect home art collections, heirlooms, antiques, and other valuable possessions by targeting fire early and using significantly less water than traditional sprinklers. By carefully positioning the sprayhead, Automist can also help direct water mist away from precious assets while still targeting the likely fire source. For homeowners who want fire protection without unnecessary water damage, Automist offers a different approach:
Target the flames. Avoid the flood. Protect what matters.
