QUICK 60: New Netatmo products on display at IFA 2018 in Berlin.

We’ve had a stack of experience with Netatmo smart home products, mainly when it comes to their weather stations. But here at IFA 2018 in Berlin we’ve discovered a couple of new products on the way.

A smart indoor siren designed to deter burglaries is a great addition to the Netatmo range. It has a 110 dB alarm that will be more than enough to scare away any potential crim. It comes with the usual auto arm/disarm functionality that other similar products have. It pairs with the Netatmo Smart Indoor Camera that is sold separately.

Netatmo also has on display a smoke alarm that will send alerts to your smartphone via HomeKit. An 85 dB alarm will easily wake your household while a 10-year battery and regular self-checks should provide peace of mind.

A must have if you’ve invested in the Netatmo ecosystem is the Smart Indoor Camera with face recognition that we’ve already reviewed here at EFTM. It includes intruder alerts via face recognition. We will keep you posted about the arrival of any new Netatmo products in due course!
