Ubiety Partners With Ivani on Halo Device Integration

Ubiety Technologies, provider of AI-driven presence verification and security intelligence, announced a partnership with Ivani, providers of wireless network sensing, to integrate Ivani’s sensify technology for advanced activity detection directly into Ubiety’s Halo Connect device.

This integrates RF activity sensing and AI-based presence verification into a single plug-and-play device — bringing unified presence detection to life. With this integration, Halo Connect combines device-based presence awareness with environmental activity sensing.

Features include:

  • Dual-layer presence detection – Combines signal intelligence (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular) with activity sensing to confirm who is home and if activity is occurring.
  • Improved alarm context/experience – AI-driven insight + environmental validation = fewer false positives, smarter responses.
  • No cameras required – Provides unmatched awareness and privacy without the need for cameras or surveillance devices.
  • No panel integration – Conventional security relies on expensive panels and hubs to install. Halo Connect brings all of this situational awareness to homeowners and law enforcement by directly integrating with dealers and monitoring centers.
  • A platform for growth – Conventional sensing relies on hardware-based detection capabilities. Halo Connect provides a platform for software-based sensing solutions, providing future improvements via OTA updates. It’s a security system that gets smarter with time, not worse.

“The market has been full of buzzwords about presence detection for years, but no one’s actually built what they’re talking about — until now,” said Keith Puckett, co-founder & CEO, Ubiety Technologies. “By integrating Ivani’s activity sensing into Halo Connect, we’ve taken a massive leap forward. Together, we’ve built a plug-and-play solution that gives consumers and security providers the real-time context they’ve been waiting for.”

Justin McKinney, co-founder and CEO, Ivani, said. “Ivani’s mission has always been to enable powerful sensing capabilities using existing infrastructure, and this partnership with Ubiety brings that vision into the home in a scalable way. Combining our sensify technology with Ubiety’s presence intelligence creates a new standard for what real awareness and actionable insight can look like. We’ve long been asked to show what device detection looks like next to sensify. Now we have that answer.”
