Snug — the simplest projector

An extremely simple projector with no buttons, keypads or wires. Two main parts — the projector unit and a signal-convert unit that doubles as the cover — give Snug an integrated appearance. Fit the projector unit onto a standard light fitting: the only step for installation. It simply turns on and off with the light switch and receives visual content wirelessly, requiring no further user action.

Snug — fits any standard light fitting

Seal — fusion of Chinese culture

The Chinese character 璽 means "seal" — used as signatures since 1300 BC, carved with beautiful sculptures of Chinese words and patterns. Seal fuses this age-old culture with a modern digital TV dongle: plug the USB dongle into your laptop or desktop to enjoy high-quality digital TV at home, at work, or just about anywhere — with a folding antenna keeping its size to a minimum, and a scheduled recording function for programmes you miss.

Orb — true wireless router

Orb consists of two parts: a network home plug that transfers the network signal into the normal electricity network, and a wireless router with a built-in standard light-bulb connector. The router plugs into any standard light-bulb housing, receiving both power and network signal from the electricity network — only a single necessary network cable in the whole home. That is the true meaning of "wireless router".

Chime — family focus doorbells

In 2016 Honeywell launched a new global offering of wired & wireless, portable or plug-in doorbells. The range adopts a modular platform design approach allowing customisation and sensitivity for specific local requirements around the globe, while enabling reuse in hardware and software for scale and simplicity. The range benefits both the family and the visitor by addressing specific segment needs — avoiding missed deliveries while enjoying time in the garden, knowing who's at the door for peace of mind, preventing a newborn being disturbed during nap time, or assisting the hard of hearing with a strobe light reflected off the ceiling. Winner of a Red Dot Design Award 2016 and an IDEA finalist. Rendered with Keyshot.
