This year’s CONNECT conference, held Oct. 24-26 in Phoenix, Ariz., marked a new beginning for Resideo, as it was the first the company has hosted independently since spinning off from Honeywell last year. The three-day-long event didn’t hesitate to send a strong message as to what Resideo’s focus will now be: playing to the strengths of its security dealers and other professionals in the HVAC, plumbing and electrical trades to bring seamlessly connected and easy-to-use smart home technologies to consumers. 

Resideo Technologies Inc. has acquired Pittsburgh-based LifeWhere. The newly acquired company uses machine learning and analytics to predict potential failure on critical home appliances, such as water heaters, furnaces and air conditioners. 

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

Resideo Technologies Inc., a global residential provider of comfort and security solutions and distributor of low voltage and security products, is donating $100,000 to help promote the work of the Security Industry Alarm Coalition (SIAC). 

Resideo Technologies Inc. announced details of its Resideo Premier Security Dealer Program for top professional security and smart home dealers. The new, exclusive loyalty program will help dealers expand their offerings in the security and smart home markets, while driving value for homeowners. 

Resideo Technologies Inc. has acquired Buoy Labs, based in Santa Cruz, Calif. The newly acquired company produces an innovative Wi-Fi enabled solution that tracks the amount of water used in a home, integrating smart software and hardware that can identify potential leaks and intervene to prevent them through its subscription-based app services. 

After announcing it would spin off from Honeywell Homes a year ago and becoming a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 30, Resideo Technologies Inc. will be in the spotlight again at the CONNECT event Nov. 15-18 in Marco Island, Fla. Co-hosted by both Honeywell and Resideo, CONNECT 2018 will be covering both homes and buildings topics, and showcasing residential and commercial security technology.
