Intelligent Cooktop Safety

Stop fires before
they start.

HomeHalo uses infrared thermal sensing to continuously monitor your cooktop — detecting dangerous cooking conditions before smoke, flames, or disaster occur.

How It Works

Four layers of intelligent protection

From sensing to intervention, HomeHalo operates as a continuous, context-aware safety system — not just a sensor.

01
🔭

Infrared Sensing

A compact thermal sensor mounts above your cooktop — no cameras, no video. Continuously reads surface heat at the cookware level.

02
📊

Thermal Analysis

Proprietary algorithms analyze temperature trajectories, heating rate, and spatial gradients — far beyond simple threshold detection.

03
🧠

Context Inference

A probabilistic engine interprets cooking state: is the stove attended? Is there liquid in the pan? Is temperature accelerating abnormally?

04
🔔

Progressive Alert

From gentle reminders to push alerts to optional power shutoff — responses scale to hazard severity and user-defined preferences.

Features

Precision safety, thoughtfully designed

🌡️

Empty-Pan Detection

Identifies rapid monotonic temperature rise characteristic of cookware with no liquid or food mass — a leading precursor to oil ignition events.

💧

Boil-Over Prediction

Monitors convective thermal signatures and edge temperature patterns to detect impending boil-over before it reaches the heating element.

⏱️

Unattended Cooking Detection

Infers user presence and cooking supervision through cookware displacement, utensil interaction events, and prolonged inactivity patterns.

🔒

Privacy First

Thermal imaging inherently obscures personal visual details. No RGB camera. No video recording. Coarse spatial heat maps only — processed locally.

🔧

Retrofit Compatible

Designed to operate independently of stove electronics. Works with any existing gas, electric, or induction cooktop — no installation professional required.

📱

Smart Notifications

Push alerts to your phone when hazards are detected. Configurable sensitivity, quiet hours, and adaptive thresholds that learn your cooking habits.

Hardware

Designed to fit anywhere

HomeHalo ships in the GU10 light bulb form factor — the global standard for kitchen range hoods, recessed ceiling lighting, and accent fixtures. Zero new wiring. Instant retrofit.

💡
GU10 Form Factor

Drop-in replacement for existing GU10 fixtures. No rewiring, no new hardware, no contractor required.

🍳

Kitchen Range Hood Lighting

Most range hoods already use GU10 bulbs positioned directly above the cooktop — the perfect vantage point for continuous thermal monitoring.

💫

Recessed Ceiling Lighting

Standard kitchen recessed downlights are GU10-compatible. HomeHalo installs in seconds, replacing an existing bulb with zero visible change.

🏨

Accent & Track Lighting

GU10 track and accent fixtures provide flexible coverage for studio kitchens, extended-stay suites, and open-plan cooking areas.

Smart Home

Works with the ecosystem you already use

HomeHalo integrates natively with leading smart home platforms — no separate hub, no extra apps, no friction.

Apple HomeKit
Amazon Alexa Amazon Alexa
Google Home
Siri Shortcuts

Ask Siri to check your stove, set automations in Home, or get Alexa to announce an alert in every room. HomeHalo speaks the language of your home.

Hospitality & Commercial

Trusted by leading hospitality brands

Extended-stay and studio-kitchen properties are an ideal deployment environment — high unit counts, consistent GU10 fixture use, and meaningful fire risk reduction at scale.

Integrated hardware development partnership with Cosmo Products, LLC — bringing manufacturing expertise, supply chain relationships, and product integration capabilities to HomeHalo's GU10 thermal sensing platform.

Who It's For

Built for the moments that matter most

Whether protecting an aging parent or managing 100 hotel suites, HomeHalo adapts to the scale and context of your environment.

👴

Aging in Place

Cognitive decline, reduced sensory acuity, and medication effects can increase cooking risk. HomeHalo provides a quiet safety layer without surveillance — preserving independence and dignity.

👨‍👩‍👧

Busy Families

Distraction is universal. Kids, calls, and multitasking all compete with kitchen attention. HomeHalo monitors while you're away, so a forgotten pot doesn't become a tragedy.

🏨

Hospitality Properties

Extended-stay and studio-kitchen hotels gain meaningful fire risk reduction across every unit — with zero fixture modifications and seamless integration into existing property management systems.

Technology

How the intelligence works

📡

Thermographic Sensing

Low-resolution thermopile arrays or microbolometer sensors provide continuous surface temperature mapping with sufficient resolution to distinguish burner zones and cookware.

📈

Thermal Trajectory Analysis

Rather than simple threshold checks, HomeHalo analyzes the first derivative of temperature over time — detecting abnormal heating acceleration far earlier than static limits allow.

🧩

Probabilistic Inference Engine

Bayesian networks and temporal state models contextualize thermal events — understanding that a hot pan is normal during active cooking but dangerous if unattended for 20 minutes.

💻

On-Device Edge Processing

All inference runs locally on an embedded edge-computing module. No cloud dependency for safety decisions. Low latency, high reliability, and inherent data privacy.
