HomeKit air purifier
Vocolinc made the announcement in a post on Facebook
Meet the smart, sophisticated and easy-to-use PureFlow, premiered on June 15 (USA)
Yes, it works with Apple HomeKit, Alexa and Google Assistant, which means you can control and know its status using voice commands.
Yes, it is used in large rooms, removing 99.97% of gases and particles up to 0.3 microns.
Yes, it could be super quiet, so you can be protected while sleeping without disturbances.
There is still no word on US prices, but European prices suggest they will sell for about $ 500.
As mentioned earlier, the purifier is a HEPA - it does not protect against coronavirus.
Three stages of HEPA filtration remove up to 99.5% of gases and particles up to 0.3 microns from your chamber, up to 700 sqm.
The virus has about 0.1 microns, so it will not be captured by the filter.
OnKK C3 HomeKit secure video camera
In other HomeKit news, there is another camera that supports Apple's secure HomeKit video standard, which provides a 10-day recording history in iCloud. HomeKit News reports.
Works exclusively with Apple HomeKit and also supports HomeKit Secure Video. Onvis C3 records 1080p HD @ 30fps video for all four streams - one for iCloud with 4 seconds of pre-recording, two for live streams and one for MicroSD recording.
What some may be interested in is that it also works with 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wifi networks, as well as bidirectional audio.
You can make a pre-order today, with shipping starting in late June.
I previously noticed the privacy benefit of HomeKit Secure Video.
HomeKit Secure Video is designed to address the main security weakness with most smart cameras today. To do things like detect people and recognize faces, most cameras upload their video to the cloud and perform the analysis there. This means that the unencrypted video is stored on someone else's server, a tasty target for hackers.
With HSV, all people, animals and vehicle detection are done locally, on your own iPad, HomePod or Apple TV and only encrypted videos are sent to Apple's cloud servers.
