Havells launches smart fan Carnesia-I for Rs 4,500

Havells India, a leading name in fast-moving electrical goods (FMEG) and consumer durables, has launched a new smart fan with 'Smart Mode' feature. The technologically advanced Carnesia-I ceiling fan can sense the temperature and humidity in the room to adjust the fan speed accordingly. Priced at Rs 4,500, the fan will be available in starting the first week of March in Havells Galaxy Stores as well as online retail.

The IoT-enabled Carnesia-I smart fan can be operated with a mobile application, remote and is also compatible with popular voice assistants - Alexa and Google Home. It also offers new auto modes like 'Sleep' and 'Breeze' for night comfort and natural breeze effect along with five-level speed control, timer setting and automatic on and off. It comes with multi-user mode that enables access to operate a single fan by many users. While all these features can be accessed by the app as well as the remote, Alexa and Google Assistant can be used only to turn on/off the fan. Humidity display, temperature display, home automation and multiple controls are accessible through the compatible app.
