# Smoke-Detecting Lightbulbs The 'Femto' Smart Bulb Monitors for Smoke, CO2 and More By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-05-14 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femto-smart-bulb References: [geeky-gadgets](https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/smart-bulb-13-05-2020/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/daanboesten/femto-a-smart-bulb-with-built-in-smoke-and-co-detectors) The '[Femto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavo-femto)' smart bulb is a connected solution for existing light fixtures in the home that would work to drastically increase safety in a simple, noninvasive manner. The lightbulb functions as a low-power smart bulb that's compatible with several major brands, while also offering a series of sensors for detecting smoke, CO2, temperature and humidity. This will enable the bulb to detect potential changes in the environment when danger is present and offering day-to-day updates for homeowners to utilize when operating their home. The 'Femto' smart bulb also functions as a WiFi network repeater or mesh network solution that will work to enhance connectivity within the home in a way that doesn't require any additional routers or equipment to clutter tabletops. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Smart Connected Bulbs:** Developing smart bulbs with additional safety features such as smoke detection, CO2 detection, humidity and temperature monitoring presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in lighting solutions. - **AI-enabled Sensing Devices:** Incorporating AI into sensing devices, like light bulbs, creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in home safety by providing real-time alerts and updates. - **Mesh Network Technology:** Developing mesh network technology within smart bulbs and other devices can offer a cost-effective and unobtrusive solution to improve connectivity within the home. ### Where This Applies - **Home Automation:** Incorporating smoke detection and other safety features into smart bulbs and other smart home devices represents a disruptive innovation opportunity within the home automation industry. - **Home Security:** Incorporating real-time monitoring technology into smart bulbs presents opportunities for the home security industry to create more comprehensive safety solutions. - **Iot Connectivity:** Developing mesh network technology within smart bulbs provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in IoT connectivity and the creation of more seamless and integrated smart homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Home Safety Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-alert-smart-smoke-carbon-monoxide-co-alarm.md) - [Smart Home Smoke Detectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoey-smoke-detector.md) - [Motion-Sensing Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-camera-1.md) - [Smart Smoke Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoke-carbon-monoxide-alarm.md) - [Environment-Analyzing Home Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultrahuman-home.md) - [Security Camera Smart Bulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyze-bulb-cam.md) - [Candle-Inspired Lightbulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velaflame.md) - [Intelligent Processor Smoke Alarms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meross-ma151-smart-smoke-alarm.md) - [Multifunctional Smart Home Sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipurpose-smart-sensor.md)
