Miele and Netatmo present Smart-Home Study at Eurocucina

Wellbeing within your own four walls depends to a large extent on the ambient room climate. Temperature, humidity and oxygen content are significant factors here. The “Healthy Home Coach” from Netatmo measures these parameters – and guarantees clean air in an instant with help of a Miele cooker hood. Miele will demonstrate how that works for the first time in a project study at Eurocucina in Milan.

In particular, if several people congregate in a closed room, the air gets “used up” before the occupants become aware of it. With the Healthy Home Coach there is an aid that objectively detects the above-named factors. The data can then be read from a smartphone – and if the CO2 content is too high or there is too little oxygen in the room, this is additionally indicated by the glass canopy of the Miele “Pearl” cooker hood glowing red. In this case the cooker hood switches itself on and provides an exchange of air within a few minutes. For the exhibition set-up Miele will make the clean air visible for the first time, because the Pearl changes colour from red via yellow to green and switches itself off when the air is clean. 

The Pearl is virtually pre-destined to become a team-mate for the Healthy Home Coach. With its slanted canopy, it is one of the “Headroom hoods” that guarantees freedom of movement when cooking, even for very tall people. The 90 centimetre wide canopy of concave curved safety glass has integrated ambient lighting, that in this study can show colour change, respectively air quality, via LEDs. Communication between Healthy Home Coach and the Miele cooker hood is via WLAN.
