Home CasaVerdeSmart ,,,,,The second compatible product Netatmo Homekit after the successful Smart Thermostat designed by Philip Starck aesthetically recalls two other devices of the French company: the Weather Station and the camera Welcome (coming soon compatible with Homekit) that we have tried in the past months on Macitynet.
Let's say that Healthy Home Coach takes from the first model some of the features dedicated to the measurement of internal parameters and from the other the less technological coloring. For the rest, the precise task is to monitor the best environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, noise and CO2) for the health of your home and especially for your loved ones who frequent an environment close to you or at a great distance.
An environmental health condition detector can help you to get to know your surroundings better but also to check without being invasive with environmental cameras or microphones the state of health of the home of an elderly person or of a child's bedroom and, as we will see also to work as a alarm system thanks to sound detection.
Let's see in the unpacking gallery the details of the product and the first installation phase which simply consists of connecting to the electricity grid. The Netatmo application will then take care of guiding us in the configuration of the product and introducing us to the interpretation of the results.
The package also suitable for Apple Stores 
Works with iPhone 
Here is the data it can detect 
The specifications 
Sober and highly reciable packaging with the product in evidence 
The back with the only edge: the micro USB power supply 
The front with the large white window with iridescent backlighting in evidence

the Coach with the power supply 
Everything OK: the room is in perfect health
Home Coach on Homekit and also in “live”
As we will see from the dense series of screenshots that you find accompanying the review, the system currently works only with iPhone and iPad and communicates across the board with Homekit, reporting the environmental conditions directly on the Home application screen or the control center if you have entered the sensors in your favorite accessories.
The data can be queried inside the app which shows the conditions in a very fascinating graph and directly on the device: just touch the top surface of the cylinder and the color of the window will pass from the rest phase to that of signaling the “alarm conditions. .
As always, remember that to have consultation outside the home, outside the range of home Wi-Fi (strictly on the 2.4 Ghz network) it is necessary to have a fourth or fifth generation Apple TV or a compatible iPad.
The starting screen 
We connect the power supply 
Let's connect to the Homekit installation already present 
And let's retrieve the data 
Here's how the top button works 
The router and access with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 
From our phone we find Home Coach 
and pass the connection data 
The device is now connected 
and we can proceed with the firmware update if available 
The explanations on Homekit compatibility 
We are ready for the connection 
The phase of inclusion in the Homekit network 
can be done with photos or manually 
All the data can be requested through Siri: here's how 
They can be customized the names of the sensors to facilitate the conversation through Siri 
You can set three different profiles (Baby, Whole Family, Asthmatic) on the basis of which the application will provide the appropriate advice 
Through the color code that we will see on the screen or on the illuminated window of the coach we will have the perception of the quality of the parameters detected by the sensors Here you will find information on the data range for CO2 
For noise 
Temperature and … 
… Humidity, each with recommended thresholds 
Color codes to report anomalies 
Here we are at an optimal level 
And here the quality is scarce 
Scrolling through the chronology we have an idea of what happened in the past hours (we are missing a line chart, however) 
Here's a frequent tip for last summer's high temperature Here you can access the customized settings 
Here at the account 
AND It is also possible to calibrate the devices to better manage the data collection and compare them with the actuators (thermostats, fans etc …) 
If you use it in the living room you can also manage the light of the device directly 
Here is the information on the sendore of CO2 The options on the calibration 
If we go to see the device on “Home” we have this type of information 
The same happens in detail for the various parameters 
including temperature 
Here's how they look in “Home” We can also think of an automation 
at the time of the test only the CO2 detector was available as a sensor to trigger one share 
which could be the activation of a fan or the lighting of a pilot lamp 
Here we set the accessory in the “alarm” condition 
Data can also be available outside the Netatmo app such as this Eve by Elgato 
And so ' programming 
Here we see the summary for the living room 
With the data on the level 
Here we see the rule set 
And here is a detail that makes it depend on another sensor (the one which controls the opening or not of the door) 
In any case, the push messages on the phone will warn us when the thresholds are exceeded Everything OK: the room is in perfect health
Conclusions
As expected from Netatmo it is a well finished product with excellent management software. The arrival of iOS 11 and the improvement of sensor condition management brings a good benefit in the system's ability to interact with other home automation equipment (fans to make an air change, interaction with Velux windows very convenient for attics , the coloring of lamps in the same room or in a distant one to signal possible dangers).
The queries to be activated with Siri are well defined and customizable and are also provided in our language.
The commitment with which the French company undertakes to correctly translate all the texts to make them accessible even to those who do not know foreign languages is to be commended.
The push notification system that can be deactivated, however, is able to keep even the most apprehensive parent or child updated.
We would have liked to see the same completeness of graphing of the levels with a historical trend on a temporal axis as happens for the Netatmo Weather station but perhaps the company will reserve it for a future update as well as the management of alarms on Homekit also for different sensors. from those of CO2.
Basically a good product for those who always want to keep track of the basic parameters of a house or a single room without going crazy to create complex systems.
Pro
Elegant and distinctive aesthetics, effective signaling of environmental values, good integration with Homekit (pending an increase in detectable sensors), customer assistance during installation and optimal use. Efficient push reporting system
Cons
There is no effective representation of the historical values accessible also via the Web.
