Sky is aiming to shake up the home insurance market with a new “smart home protection” service.

Sky Protect will let customers insure their homes and keep an eye on them, helping to spot potential problems.

Customers will be offered home insurance and smart home tech that work together in one app, in a move that Sky said will “take the pain out of home insurance”.
