Weather-Sensitive Smoke Alarms

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Halo+ Smoke and CO Alarm Features Weather Alerts

— February 12, 2018 — Tech
For the most part, people are thankful for their smoke alarms to sit idly on their ceiling, but the Halo+ smoke and carbon monoxide alarm from Halo Smart Labs aims to add more utility to the home device. The smart, connected device offers all the safety features of a standard smoke and carbon monoxide sensor, but it also makes use of its connectivity to give daily functionality.

The Halo+ comes with weather alerts programmed into the stock Halo app. Users can set their preferences for those alerts through the app, keeping it dedicated to things like disasters (such as flood or tornado warnings) or more frequently daily alerts programmed to sound at key points during one's routine.

Beyond that functionality, the Halo+ connects to other smart home products like Lowe's Iris, Samsung SmartThings, and Amazon Alexa, so it's guaranteed to accommodate the latest in smart home features.
