CLIMATE CONTROL
Integrated with Alexa, Netatmo’s Personal Weather Station enables users to track weather and air quality on a micro level. With accessories to measure wind, rain and indoor conditions, the device shares data via smartphone, tablet or computer. Custom alerts manage household activities, from taking in plants before a freeze to turning off sprinklers when it rains. $180; netatmo.com

HIGH-END SOUND ON THE GO
Devised in collaboration with Danish-Italian design duo GamFratesi, Bang & Olufsen’s new Beosound A5 speaker marries Scandinavian style and cutting-edge technology. The portable device delivers 12 hours of play and 280 watts of power, filling large rooms with 360-degree sound. Available in two colorways; natural aluminum is pictured with a woven-paper-fiber front and an oak handle. From $1,049; bang-olufsen.com

TAKING FLIGHT
Flite, the Australian maker of electric hydrofoils, has debuted Flitescooter, a new model aimed at novice riders. A forward-facing position and the addition of removable handlebars help maintain balance; the large, inflatable board provides extra buoyancy. A built-in, thumb-controlled throttle safely propels the scooter, which lets riders coast on the surface or, when ready, begin to foil (pictured). $12,995; fliteboard.com
