Jan 13, 2016 | Developer, Events, Hardware, Web

Chuck Joiner, David Henry of The Roost

At  CES Unveiled  in Las Vegas, David Henry of Roost introduces us to their ”smart, 9V, Wi-Fi enabled, cloud-connected, lithium power-packed five-year-lasting battery” that turns your existing smoke detector into a smart device. With Roost, there’s no more chirping at 2 AM. You receive notifications via email or app when the battery needs to be replaced, and when there is a problem, and Roost even supports If This Then That.

This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of  PDFpen 7  and PDFpenPro 7, PDFpen for iPad,  PDFpen for iPhone,  PDFpen Scan+,  as well as TextExpander for Mac, TextExpander touch  and DiscLabel. Great software to help you get more done.
