Plumis is a fire safety technology company pioneering Automist, the world’s first smart watermist fire suppression system. Unlike traditional sprinklers that rely on century-old design principles, Automist uses electronic sensing and high-pressure water mist to deliver targeted protection. For architects, that means a system that integrates seamlessly into modern homes and retrofit projects—without the compromises of ceiling nozzles, bulky water tanks, or invasive plumbing.

Watermist technology is proven to control and extinguish fires with up to 90% less water than sprinklers, minimizing secondary water damage to finishes, furnishings, and personal possessions. This is especially valued by clients investing in high-end custom builds or heritage retrofits, where aesthetics and preservation are critical. By activating earlier and using fine mist droplets, Automist also helps keep escape routes clearer from heat and smoke, directly enhancing life safety.

With over 16,000 systems installed worldwide and UL 2167A certification in the US, Automist gives architects confidence that designs not only meet code but can also gain approval from authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs). It’s already been accepted in projects ranging from modular accessory dwelling units in Colorado to luxury residences in California and Hawaii—demonstrating flexibility across property types.

At its core, Plumis exists to close the expectation gap in fire safety. Homeowners and insurers want modern, effective, and less disruptive protection, yet legacy manufacturers still deliver outdated sprinklers. Automist bridges that divide, enabling architects to design safer, smarter, and more resilient homes that align with today’s needs and tomorrow’s expectations.
