Resideo Expands Smart-Home Offerings

Resideo Technologies, Inc. acquired energy efficiency technology from Whisker Labs and hired the team behind it. The technology creates a thermodynamic model of a home to predict home heating and air conditioning run time and energy use to enable a homeowner to use less energy while maintaining comfort, Resideo said.

The announcement, in a May 21 statement, marks the second acquisition by Resideo since it became a standalone, publicly traded company following its spinoff from Honeywell in October 2018. The technology complements Resideo’s portfolio of connected thermostats, including the Honeywell Home T-Series Smart Thermostats – the T9 and T10 Pro – which feature wireless smart-room sensors to deliver a desired temperature to a specific room in the home when and where it’s needed. Resideo will look to strategically integrate the energy efficiency technology into the company’s smart-home comfort offerings. The Honeywell Home trademark is used under a license from Honeywell International Inc.
