Winegard released RV Halo, a smart RV platform equipped with an AI-enabled voice assistant. The platform enables consumers to control all Winegard devices from one app.
RV Halo was built in a partnership between Winegard and Saritasa, a technology company. The platform will notify consumers when the temperature drops, a refrigerator becomes unplugged or a door opens.
A voice command can trigger the RV to set up awnings, turn on TVs or notify a consumer about the RV’s tank levels.
Consumers can automate tasks, monitor appliance connectivity and battery levels without manually logging into a laptop or mobile web browser.
Scott Blindt, Winegard director of cloud services, said: “Incorporating software has been a part of Winegard’s larger company vision. The continuation of supply chain challenges allows us to move faster in actualizing that vision and be creative as we focus on designing smart hubs and smart platforms. We needed a counterpart in software that shared our passion for connectivity, and Saritasa proved to be an incredible partner that worked with us every step of the way in developing the RV Halo app. RV Halo is just the start; we have grand plans for blurring the lines between hardware and software for a powerful, individualized experience that our end users can control.”
With RV Halo, consumers can:
- Connect to all compatible Winegard products
- Update all product software
- Access to product manuals and support
- Register RV Halo products
- Access to user’s Winegard account
- Create accounts for and manage multiple RVs
RV Halo also includes voice features enabling consumers to:
- Set up system with smartphones or tablets
- Stream video directly from RV to any location
- Easily find product-specific support
Artem Razvodov, Saritasa director of project management, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Winegard and make software projects like RV Halo a reality. Building innovative, thoughtful software products that actually do what they are supposed to requires deep collaboration and complete transparency. We take immense pride in being able to provide this kind of partnership.”
