How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Wildfire Damage to Power Lines
This episode of Internet of Things with Fexingo dives into how IoT sensors are being used to prevent power-line-sparked wildfires. Lucas and Luna explore a real-world case: a utility in California that deployed thousands of line-mounted sensors to detect conductor slap, tree contact, and insulator leakage before faults ignite. They discuss the sensor technology — vibration, temperature, and current sensors reporting every 10 seconds — and how machine learning filters false positives from genuine risks. The hosts also touch on the regulatory push from California's Public Utilities Commission…
