Off-Grid Smoke Detectors

The Halo is a Smart Device that Stays Functional When the Power Goes Out

— January 21, 2016 — Tech
The Halo smart smoke detector is an innovative fire-prevention home device that combines the convenience of technology with off-grid capabilities. This means that the gadget will remain fully functional even if the power goes out and the electricity along with Wi-Fi are down.

Unlike a traditional smoke detector, the Halo offers a much more modern and sophisticated design coupled with the basic features of smoke and carbon monoxide detection. The device features photo-electric sensors ionization capabilities to track heat, humidity and smart technology to differentiate a smoking cooking incident from a fire -- so that a loud blaring sound isn't set off unless absolutely needed. The alarm also connects to a smartphone device to send informative updates when it goes off. Many of these features remain in tact if the power goes out, offering consumers total coverage.
Trend Themes
1. Off-grid Smart Home Devices - The Halo smoke detector is an example of the increased demand for home devices that remain functional even when power and Wi-Fi networks go down, leading to the development of off-grid smart home devices and services.
