First Thread-enabled Air Purifier Coming Soon? – Homekit News and Reviews - HomeKit News & Reviews

Image
We've been tipped off to what we reckon is a market-first that should hopefully be hitting stores soon, namely the world's first Thread-enabled Air Purifier , from a brand called Airversa .  Based on the information we've been able to glean from an Airversa representative, the new device – simply called the ' Purelle Air Purifier ' – uses H13 True HEPA filtration via dual air filters, which work in tandem with the 5-speed fan, allowing control over the cleaning power and noise levels of the air purifier. Purelle Air Purifier Cutaway with Fan and filter (one of two) Up to this point, smart home air purifiers, even ones that aren't HomeKit compatible, tend to use standard 2.4GHz WiFi to connect to your network, so the Purelle using Thread is a bit of a departure, and one that may well be very popular, if the early and fast adoption rate for any Thread-en...

Image
If you act quickly, there are a few practical steps you can take to manage symptoms, reduce allergens in your home and get long-term relief. Springtime comes with an uptick in stuffy noses and scratchy throats, and for many it has nothing to do with Covid-19. There are 19.2 million adults and 5.2 million children in the United States who suffer from seasonal allergies, also called hay fever, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some of the symptoms of allergies, like congestion, coughing and a runny nose, overlap with warning signs of Covid-19, but if your nose turns into a leaky faucet every spring, then allergies are the likely culprit. Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends. Several studies show that pollen seasons are getting longer and more intense across the country. Climate change and rising carbon dioxide emissions are expected to boost the growth of trees and grasses in many areas, which will mean higher pollen concentrations. "For peop...

New gear: Aegina-Pure water purifier - Yachting Monthly

Image
Ultraviolet water purification systems are all the rage at the moment, and the Aegina-Pure water purifier is designed with boats in mind. The Aegina-Pure water purifier is designed by PRP Optoelectronics in Swindon and uses UVC light generated by low-energy LEDs to neutralise the water coming from your tanks. What is more, it can communicate its parameters to your MFD or via a smartphone app. Aegina-Pure produces Class A pure water that is 99.99% clean, eliminating germs, bugs and pathogens. The UV light acts on the cell walls of viruses and bacteria, damaging its DNA or RNA. Unable to recover or reproduce, the pathogen loses its potency. This process is known as thymine dimerization. The technology has found traction in off-grid situations, such as mobile homes and boats. It is well suited to marine use because it is low power and runs easily off a 12V battery supply. The entry-level unit can purify 3 litres of water ...
