Nortek announces the 2GIG Water Leak Detector-- a device the company announces as the first sensor to provide dual-source protection against water leaks and flooding.
“The Water Leak Detector is a "notification" sensor, designed to give homeowners important information in advance of events,” Nortek says. “Water damage is the number one residential insurance claim in the U.S. This new sensor notifies homeowners in the first stages of a leak, allowing them to react quickly to resolve the problem.”
The camera has a 120-degree wide-angle lens, allowing customers to capture faces and license plates from multiple angles. True Detect heat-sensing technology prevents false-alarm triggers of the pet movement or tree blowing variety, while heat-based PIR (Passive Infrared) motion detection distinguishes the heat of larger objects, including people and cars.
The Roku wireless speakers are reminiscent of the HomePod, and are designed to work exclusively with Roku co-branded TVs. They run on "Roku Connect," a combination of hardware and software allowing the speakers to pair with all Roku OS devices available on the network. Once connected to the TV, the speakers play "optimised sound" from all other connected devices, including cable boxes, antennas and even mobile devices paired via Bluetooth.
Externally the two notebooks remain identical to the previous 2016 models, with all changes being under the hood. The 13-inch model gets a quad-core processors, while the 15-inch carries 6-core processors Apple claims is up to 70% faster compared to the 2016 model. Graphics also get a boost. The 13-inch models features Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655, and the 15-inch get a choice of either Radeon Pro 555X or Radeon Pro 560X, both with 4GB DDR5 RAM.
The Switch technically already supports wireless headsets, but only by plugging an adapter in the USB-A port found in the dock included with the console. The Genki sets to solve the issue by being a small dongle users connect in the USB-C port of the console, meaning it can be used even in handheld mode. It offers Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, with support for up aptX low latency audio and up to 2 simultaneous audio devices.
