I like this idea and I think it actually has a lot of potential. If you make a product like a power strip with an attached smoke sensor, which can be set to have an adjustable threshold like most toasters have, then it could be used with any toaster. This makes a big difference in terms of going to market, because instead of trying to compete with a zillion cheap models of toaster, your product becomes a single add-on feature. In addition, the safety aspect of this could be a big advantage. If you get it UL certified etc., then it could be marketed as a fire prevention feature. A $10 toaster can cause a $100,000 fire without even drawing enough amps to pop a breaker. If you get some insurance company to give a discount on fire insurance for using one of these, and the product could pay for itself. Just some thoughts, best of luck!
