NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 11/24/15 — With winter just around the corner, heating systems will be running at full force, sooner than we–d like. This Black Friday, available for the first time in select Lowe–s stores and online at , KeenHome.io and Amazon, shoppers can purchase the latest innovation in smart home technology: Keen Home–s Smart Vents for room-by-room temperature control throughout the home. The Smart Vent is a wirelessly connected air vent that intelligently redirects central HVAC airflow for increased comfort and energy efficiency. The Smart Vent–s high-quality design and interchangeable faceplates add beauty and distinctiveness to traditionally unattractive air vents.
The Smart Vent was unveiled at last year–s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, then went on to receive one of the largest valuations in Shark Tank history from Robert Herjavec during Season 6 of the popular television show.
“The Smart Vent is a big step towards the proactively aware home that can take care of its occupants,” said Nayeem Hussain, co-founder of Keen Home. “Millions of homeowners across the U.S. and Canada now have the opportunity to install a Smart Vent System to get rid of pesky hot or cold spots once and for all. We–re sure they will enjoy seeing a difference in their energy bill, too.”
Compatible with the next generation Iris by Lowe–s Smart Hub and the SmartThings Hub
