LONDON: A company in France has developed a new smart umbrella that when paired with a smartphone app can not only predict the weather but also send you a notification if you leave it behind.

‘Oombrella’, the smart umbrella is fitted with a capsule having sensors for air pressure, humidity, temperature and light. This setup allows the umbrella to tell whether or not it may rain in the next 15 minutes, notifying the user via a Bluetooth-connected smartphone with the corresponding app. It can also record weather data and can hold camera at the top. The capsule has an integrated buzzer to alert users when they get a call. According to the company Wezzoo that developed Oombrella, the device is “ wind-resistant” with the capability of withstanding storms.
