HALO Smart Sensor: Environmental Monitoring Solution for Senior Living Communities
The HALO Smart Sensor is an environmental monitoring solution designed for senior living communities. It assists administrators in meeting operational responsibilities and complying with federal and state legislation by providing a "safe, clean, comfortable and home-like environment" while also helping to save energy costs.
Key Features and Monitoring Capabilities
?️ Temperature
Monitors room temperature to ensure it is within regulatory limits. Alerts can be sent when rooms or common areas are too warm or cold.
? Humidity
Alerts administrators when relative humidity is below 40% or above 60%. This helps prevent allergies from mold and mildew and minimizes the risk of disease transmission.
? Light Levels
Can be configured to trigger an alert when light levels are below the recommended level of 300 Lux during the day or above 5 Lux at night.
? Sound
Triggers alerts when sound levels exceed World Health Organization recommended levels of 40dBA maximum or 30 dBA continuous.
? Smoking and Vaping
Detects vaping devices and cigarettes. HALO can alert administrators when these are detected, as their use is often forbidden or restricted in senior living facilities.
? Air Quality Index (Particulates & Contaminants)
Monitors air quality at a room level, which can significantly impact heart and lung health, especially in the elderly.
? Abuse & Neglect
Audio algorithms can alert staff to fights and calls for help, and monitor the frequency of staff check-ins, aiding in resident protection.
? Panic Button Support
Integration with HALO's panic button alerts management and security staff to incidents via the HALO Cloud dashboard, mobile app, and email.
?️ Vandalism & Trespassing Alerts
Sends notifications when lights or noise are detected in unauthorized areas and after hours.
? Manage HVAC Energy Costs
Helps minimize HVAC system use and expense when rooms are unoccupied.
