Pandemic spurs new products designed to boost your health and efficiency

S

By Wendy A. Jordan

The Washington Post

pending so much time working remotely over the past 22 months, we’ve had plenty of opportunity to note what’s unsatisfactory about systems and products around the home and to dream about technology that would make life better.

Manufacturers got the message with a range of new or soonto-be-introduced products. Among them: • Devices that not only monitor air quality in the home, but also alert you when your blood pressure or other vitals are off-kilter.

• A doorbell that plays a recorded greeting and instructions for delivery people and allows visitors to leave their own message.

• An in-oven camera that lets homeowners livestream cooking so that they won’t have to constantly open the door to see whether the food is done.

“In the past year we’ve seen homeowners prioritize indoor air quality and energy efficiency in their HVAC system more than ever before, and we know this will only become increasingly important to the comfort and health of homeowners,” says Kim McGill, Lennox Residential’s vice president of marketing.

The pandemic, says Kelly Safis, general manager of builder sales at Whirlpool, “created an increased consumer demand for health-conscious cooking options.”

Dirk Sappok, director of product development at Miele, says consumers increasingly are embracing smart products that “make life a little easier.”

Note that when bringing smart technology home, it’s prudent to stick with name brands and companies that update security features rather than off-brand smart home devices that are more suscep-

tible to hacking.

Here’s a look at a range of new smart products aimed at boosting comfort, convenience and energy efficiency in the home: Climate and health • Rheem’s EcoNet Zoning System: Manufacturers have developed HVAC systems that manage or monitor heating, cooling and even air quality automatically. Most of them can be controlled via user-friendly phone apps.

In 2020, Rheem introduced the EcoNet Zoning System, which allows homeowners to customize and schedule temperature settings throughout the house, eliminate hot or cold spots, and modify heating and cooling in unoccupied rooms to trim energy consumption.

A $299 WiFi-enabled smart thermostat controls the equipment in this optional add-on to the company’s EcoNet heating, cooling and water heating system. Employing new control capabilities and ductwork dampers, the system regulates heating, cooling and humidity in up to six areas of the home. It can be set to switch automatically to an energy-saving away mode when nobody is home.

Homeowners can manage the system via voice command or smartphone app.

Cost of the zoning system is based on the layout of the home and number of dampers needed.

• Mitsubishi Electric artificial intelligence: This year, Mitsubishi Electric will unveil artificial intelligence (AI) that will detect and adopt HVAC scheduling patterns around the house. Suppose, for instance, you lower the first-floor temperature and raise the temperature in second-floor bedrooms on most winter nights. The AI will spot this and recommend setting up a schedule to make the nightly adjustment automatic.

Mitsubishi Electric plans to introduce sensors in 2024 that will help homeowners monitor indoor air quality.

The terahertz radiation-based system will detect and analyze air components, display the data on a desktop dashboard, and activate a warning as needed.

The company also is developing sensors that monitor health vital statistics, including body temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate.

If a person needs frequent checks, the narrow-band near-infrared video recordings can make it easier for a caregiver to note changes.

Eventually the sensors will be able to detect blood oxygenation and even situations such as choking, falls, signs of distress and elder abuse.

Called HealthCam, a prototype of the wall-mounted sensors was exhibited in the company’s CES electronics show virtual booth early this month. HealthCam will launch first in hospitals in

Garden catalogs: Separating fact from fiction

I

Oh, how to resist the temptation of garden catalogs in winter, and to sort out fact from fiction. (LEE REICH PHOTO)

garden catalogs and websites have grown the plants they describe, we can read between the lines of a catalog description to get some idea of a plant’s merit.

A vegetable or fruit variety that’s touted as being great for pickles or preserves usually is not one you would enjoy chomping on right out in the garden. The Kieffer pear is described as good for canning. Perhaps ... but Kieffer pears are not very tasty fresh. For that matter, there are pears better than Kieffer that probably would also taste better canned than does Kieffer.

Look to what catalog and web descriptions do not say.

Plants can be described by their flavors, fragrances, colors, yields, and sizes; decide what is important to you. The “impressive uniformity” of Nantindo carrot is a qual-

ity sought by commercial growers. But if you’re looking for flavor, pass this one by in favor of a variety like Scarlet Nantes, with “fine flavor” and “exceptional sweetness.”

For my money, flavor is most important criterion in backyard food plants.

All companies are not equally culpable of horticultural hype. I find that smaller companies often are more realistic in their catalog descriptions than are larger companies. I also find this to be true of specialty nurseries.

If a seed company specializes in “gourmet vegetables,” it behooves them to sell seeds only of varieties that will keep gourmets satisfied.

To get a general feel for the verity of descriptions in a particular catalog, read descriptions of a few plants that you have grown. Are the SEE REICH, PAGE F6

GARDEN NOTES SPRINGFIELD

Garden club news The Springfield Garden Club used the last day of 2021 to improve food equity in Springfield by contributing $1,078 to Gardening the Community. The donation was presented on New Year’s Eve by Springfield Garden Club President Vana Nespor to Ramon Elliston, Gardening the Community Farm Store manager; Toussaint Paskins, GTC’s assistant director of youth leadership and agriculture; and his son, Jaiden Jimenez. GTC operates a training program created for youth from around the Mason Square neighborhood and beyond to grow fruits and vegetables on vacant and abandoned lots.

Youths receive a stipend and are taught principles of urban sustainable living and urban agriculture. The food that is grown is sold at GTC’s 200 Walnut St. Community Farm Store, Mason Square Farmers Market, local restaurants, and bodegas (corner stores). Youth also bring food home to their families. For more information on how to support Gardening the Community, visit gardening

thecommunity.org. For more information on this and other Springfield Garden Club events, go online to gcfm.org/springfield gardenclub or facbook. com/SpringfieldMA GardenClub/ STOCKBRIDGE

JUST RETURNED from a short vacation to find my mailbox stuffed with garden catalogs.

These catalog pages are almost dripping with luscious strawberries and redolent of marigolds and carnations.

With the wide choice of enticing plants offered, available for a mere scribble on an order form or visit to a website, and some money, decisions of what to grow are hard for beginning, even experienced, gardeners.

Let’s try to be rational amidst all this temptation.

Garden catalogs and websites are, after all, advertisements, whose purpose is, in the words of Merriam-Webster: “... to emphasize desirable qualities so as to arouse a desire to buy or patronize.”

Even a loose-clustered flower like baby’s-breath can be bunched into a dense spray for the photographer.

How am I to choose between broccolis: Green Comet has “big yields, delicious flavor,” Packman is “high-yielding and tasty,” and Early Spartan has “tender stems?” Are any of them worth growing? I do know that the person who writes that the garden huckleberry is “always a favorite for pies, preserves” or that the Ogallala strawberry is “super-sweet” has not ever tasted either fruit. I have grown both fruits. The first is insipid, the second is sour.

Catalog descriptions rarely tell the whole story about a particular variety. Seedless Concord grapes lack seeds while retaining the flavor of regular Concord grapes.

Why aren’t we told that Seedless Concord is a shy yielder, though? We all know that the Granny Smith is a “favorite of sweet-tart apple lovers.” What often is not said is that Granny Smith will not fully ripen if grown too far north?

Betty lamp helps collectors see in the dark

HINK HOW DIFFIcult it was before 1800, when you had to have light to work at night and there were only candles or several kinds of oil lamps. By the 1850s, it was easier. There were kerosene lamps, gas lamps and finally electric lamps.

Today, we get a hint of what that was like when the electricity goes out and we must find a flashlight or candle to use until repair crews fix the power. Many collectors and campers who want light use old types of lighting like lanterns when there is no electricity.

The Betty lamp is one of the earliest portable light sources.

It usually is made of brass or iron. The bottom layer is a pan that shapes to a point: the spout. A second pan is on top to hold the wick, usually a twisted piece of fabric placed in the spout to soak up some fuel. The wick is lit to produce a flame. The lamp also has a hook so it can be hung on a wall. Sometimes they have a third layer: a cover to keep bugs out.

Antique Betty lamps are sold in many auctions for $40 to about $150. There are even modern versions with the same design to be used today.

A wrought iron, copper and brass Betty lamp sold at a recent Hess auction for $2,000 after 21 bids. It was made by craftsman Peter Derr of Pennsylvania (1793-1868), making it a prize for a collector. A new, reproduced Betty lamp sells for about $40 to $100.

CURRENT PRICES Current prices are recorded from antiques shows, flea markets, sales and auctions throughout the United States. Prices vary in different locations because of local economic conditions.

This antique Betty lamp was made by a known craftsman of the early 1800s, so it is very expensive: $2,000. You can find old Betty lamps for sale for less than $100 if they are in poor condition. (COWLES SYNDICATE INC.)

Project stands test of time

A

GRANDFATHER clock is one of those pieces of furniture that’s simply destined to become a family heirloom. Classic design, solid construction and practical functionality all conspire to stand the test of time. If you’re a woodworker looking for a project that the next generation will enjoy, this handsome grandfather clock project definitely fits the bill.

Standing an imposing 6 feet tall, the clock is built from oak as pictured (other species will also work). The classic design is complemented by the Westminster clock movement, which mimics the familiar chimes of London’s Big Ben. Although the clock requires close attention to detail and a significant investment of time, the project is easy enough for most woodworkers. The case is essentially

and sold by several companies in the 1930s. The mark with the initials on your plates was used by Jones, McDuffee & Stratton Co., a dealer and distributor in Boston that began working under that name in 1871. By 1910, it was the largest wholesaler and retailer of china and glassware in the U.S. The company sold commemorative plates for Lenox and other companies until about 1960. The border, signature or provenance can add value. Some sets have sold at auction for over $1,000.

Mortgage rates have been on a steady upward march since the end of last year. But this week they shot up to their highest levels in nearly two years.

According to data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average rose for the third week in a row, hitting 3.45% with an average 0.7 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount.

It is in addition to the interest rate.) The rate was 3.22% the previous week and 2.79% a year ago. The 30-year fixed average is at its highest level since March 2020, when it was 3.5%.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on residential mortgages.

Rates for residential refinances may be different.

The analysis uses rates for high-quality borrowers, those who have strong credit scores and make large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate average jumped to 2.62% with an average 0.7 point.

It was 2.43% the previous week and 2.23% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average climbed to 2.57% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.41% the previous week and 3.12% a year ago.

Winter is Deeds perfect time SOUTHWICK to book a carpet cleaning Tribune News Service

Winter can be tough on your carpets. The hustle and bustle of the holidays bring a lot of traffic through your home, and more activities mean more chances for damage.

It may seem obvious, but frequent vacuuming is a crucial step to keep your carpet in good condition. One thing that’s not so obvious?

You should avoid using DIY products to remove stains.

Experts say homemade cleaning products can actually do more harm than good.

Carpet stain removal can be a tricky chemical balancing act, and that expertise is one of the most valuable things a pro cleaner brings to the table.

If you have a serious stain or spill, it’s better to have a pro take care of it sooner rather than later. Mop up what you can with a towel, and then call in help. When hiring, tell your carpet cleaner upfront what specific problems you need them to handle. Your pro can use various techniques to address the issue, but only if they know what to look for Before hiring a pro, make sure you get a quote with details about how they charge for their service. Some pros bill based on square footage, while others charge by the number of rooms they clean.

Some may even tack on an extra charge for targeting specific stains.

You should also ask how long their technicians have been on the job, and what kinds of certifications they hold.

One more thing: Carefully check your carpet manufacturer’s documentation when deciding on a cleaning method. Some techniques will void your carpet’s warranty.

Appliances • Whirlpool Yummly: Appliance manufacturers are introducing a wide range of products and functions that add convenience and customization opportunities.

In 2020, Whirlpool introduced the Yummly wireless smart thermometer which, with the Yummly cooking app, can monitor the cooking and grilling of meat, poultry and fish.

Users select what they’re cooking and set a level of doneness. With the $130 thermometer, the app tracks the cooking and alerts the user up to 150 feet away - when the food is done. Now users can watch up to four thermometers on a single smart device, so that foods can be cooked the way each family member prefers.

• GE Appliances CookCam: In 2020, GE Appliances began offering CookCam, a WiFi-enabled in-oven camera that lets homeowners livestream the cooking on their smart devices. No need to

“In the past year we’ve seen homeowners prioritize indoor air quality and energy efficiency in their HVAC system more than ever before, and we know this will only become increasingly important to the comfort and health of homeowners.” im McGill, Lennox Residential’s vice president of marketing

keep opening the oven door and letting heat escape. The camera is available in numerous GE Profile smart appliances, including a slide-in range and built-in wall ovens.

The company says GE Profile appliances with WiFi connections can receive free updates as innovations become available. In 2021, for example, the company introduced a no-preheat air fry option for wall ovens and pushed the upgrade into previously sold appliances via an over-the-air software download.

And in November GE Profile released a software upgrade designed to take some stress out of the holidays. Turkey Mode provides instructions on how to use the meat probe, tells where to position the oven rack and calculates how long to cook a turkey of any weight - no need to preheat, prep, coat, cover or baste the bird.

The app announces “gobble, gobble” when the turkey is ready to serve.

• Miele FoodView, TasteControl and CM7 Countertop Coffee system: Miele will debut an oven camera, FoodView, in select convection ovens in a new line called Generation 7000 that’s coming out in May. Aiming down from the top of the oven cavity, the camera will send photos once a minute to a smart device.

The cook will be able change the cooking time or oven temperature remotely based on what the photos show. TasteControl also will be offered in some Generation 7000 appliances. This app feature will open the oven door slightly once the cooking is done to prevent overcooking. Prices have not yet been released.

In fall 2021, Miele launched a luxury CM7 Countertop Coffee system that makes brewing and system care easier.

It offers push-button selection from three coffee bean containers, automatically adjusts the spout height to fit the cup or mug, and removes mineral buildup. An app can start the coffee maker, check its maintenance status, and place an order for beans and cleaning supplies when they run low.

The $5,499 machine makes more than 10 preprogrammed coffee drinks and can be set to brew personal favorites.

• GE Appliances S’moresUp and Sonos: In February 2021, GE Appliances announced a partnership with S’moresUp, the free family chore management app. “Parents are stretched thin as many of us are doing everything from home. This app helps organize household tasks so everyone can lend a hand,” says Jeremy Miller, commercial director of SmartHome Solutions for GE Appliances.

It works with connected GE washers, dryers, dishwashers and ovens, enabling parents to assign and monitor tasks. It can notify the child with laundry duty that the dryer cycle is complete or alert a family member that the dishwasher cycle is over and the dishes are ready to be put away.

Another GE Appliances partnership, with the wireless sound system company Sonos, lets homeowners set up audible appliance notifications throughout the house, such as an alert that the oven is preheated. There is no extra charge to include the notifications in a Sonos system.

When installed on the roof or on the ground near a house, Source Hydropanels “harness heat and energy from the sun to draw pure water vapor out of the air and convert it to fresh, mineralized drinking water. It feeds via flexible pipes into the home’s taps, faucets, refrigerator or counter dispenser,” says brand president Neil Grimmer.

The system converts the vapor to liquid water that is collected in a reservoir in the panel. A cartridge in the reservoir adds magnesium and calcium.

The standard Source Home system creates the equivalent of three to four 24-pack cases of bottled water every week, at an average cost of 15 cents a liter. Setting up a residential system typically costs $5,500 to $6,500. An air filter and polishing cartridge inside the panel need to be changed once a year, and the mineral cartridge every five years.

New panels that will be available nationwide this year offer increased water production, more storage capacity, and the ability to customize the taste and alkalinity of the water.

• EV charging stations: The electric vehicle (EV) industry is driving innovations in residential design. Todd Usher, president of Addison Homes, a green home builder in the Greenville, S.C., area, is incorporating EV charging ports as a standard feature of his new homes.

“I predict that many home builders will be doing this within the next five years or sooner,” Usher says.

Power The wiring Addison installs • Source Hydropanels: is about $500 to $750.

THE REPUBLICAN | MASSLIVE.COM

Ford’s 2022 all-electric F-150 Lightning truck as “an incredible jump” in technology. The Ford Intelligent Backup Power system links home and vehicle power and can take the place of a residential generator.

Through this system, the truck charges up from the grid; when the grid goes down, the homeowner can set the system to provide electricity to the home itself, delivering “full-home power for up to three days on a fully charged battery, or as long as 10 days if rationing power,” according to Ford. The truck price will start at $40,000.

Contractor connection • Miele and Mitsubishi Electric Trane remote diagnostic systems: Homeowners may be becoming more savvy about using smart technology, but many don’t want to deal with repair issues.

Some manufacturers, including Miele and Mitsubishi Electric Trane, are using wireless connectivity to spot potential product performance issues and initiate repair services.

This year, Miele will launch a suite of built-in appliances with WiFi connection to the company, allowing homeowners to request remote assessment of product issues.

Sappok says this means “we can diagnose problems and prepare for the repair, including identifying needed parts and creating a service call through our third party” contractors.

Mark Kuntz, CEO of Mitsubishi Electric Trane, says the company soon will be able to receive a product error code and send it via secure connection to a homeowner-selected service contractor for follow-up with the homeowner.

The company says that with this technology the HVAC contractor can be notified of a system problem “likely quite a while before the homeowners would spot the problem themselves.”

Looking forward, Usher says he would like to see much of the tech troubleshooting role go to home builders and remodelers as a one-stop shop.

“The house is a system and we can view it holistically,” he says.
