Glomensio has introduced a new smart address technology, showcased at CES 2025. This development aims to improve home safety through illuminated house numbers combined with smart connectivity. The technology is designed to enhance emergency response and security within homes.
The core component of Glomensio’s new system is the Firefly Gen 2, which activates red and blue flashing lights when a 911 call is made. This feature ensures that homes are visible from over ten houses away, allowing immediate neighbors to potentially provide aid before official responders arrive. This can be crucial during emergencies such as strokes, choking incidents, or falls, where immediate intervention can be life-saving.
The Firefly Gen 2 also sends notifications to trusted contacts and neighbors, and it can open smart locks to guide nearby individuals to the distress location. This function enables neighbors to offer critical assistance, like CPR, within minutes. The technology aims to bridge the gap between the initial emergency call and the arrival of professional services, empowering communities to contribute to life-saving efforts.
Aside from its emergency functions, the Firefly also lights up green for confirmations of deliveries or rideshares, integrating into smart home systems. The device offers both aesthetic and practical benefits, enhancing daily living while maintaining its primary focus on safety.
Installation of the Firefly is straightforward, with modular numbers that attach magnetically. The device is designed to be waterproof, durable, and energy-efficient, ensuring reliable performance. Glomensio emphasizes the importance of the first ten minutes after an emergency call, aiming to empower communities to provide immediate assistance.
