Honeywell Expands Fire Portfolio with Advanced Smoke Control and Connected Life Safety Innovations

ATLANTA - JUNE 23, 2026 -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced a major expansion of its fire and life safety portfolio, introducing the next generation of smoke control capabilities within its NOTIFIER INSPIRE platform alongside a suite of new cloud-connected innovations.

Together, these advancements help customers move beyond fragmented, manual fire safety processes to a more connected, intelligent life safety ecosystem - one that simplifies installation and commissioning, modernizes compliance and strengthens emergency response.

"With these innovations, we're helping customers simplify complex designs, improve visibility across their systems and move beyond manual processes so they can better protect occupants, respond with greater confidence and operate more efficiently," said Michael Troiano, president, global fire for Honeywell Building Automation.

Honeywell worked closely with members of its customer advisory board to develop the latest NOTIFIER INSPIRE release, which introduces fully integrated smoke control capabilities. These features simplify installation and maintenance, make it easier to adapt the system as building needs change and reduce the need for extra hardware and complex custom programming.

Advancing beyond earlier smoke control approaches, the system offers a more unified architecture that streamlines coordination across life safety functions and reduces overall system fragmentation. These capabilities help lower total system cost and accelerate deployment, make retrofits and upgrades more practical using existing infrastructure and improve ongoing maintenance and compliance through automated testing and centralized reporting.

"This generation of integrated smoke control fundamentally simplifies how these systems are designed and deployed, reducing complexity in the field, accelerating commissioning and making ongoing testing and compliance much more manageable," said John Strohecker, vice president, Alarm and Detection for Cosco Fire Protection, a member of Honeywell's customer advisory board. "Working with Honeywell on this innovation reflects a shared focus on delivering practical solutions that improve performance and safety for our customers."

In addition to fire response, the system includes a natively integrated "purge" function that can automatically respond to carbon monoxide (CO) events. When a CO alarm is detected, the system exhausts contaminated air from the affected zone while introducing fresh air to safely reduce CO concentration levels. This controlled ventilation approach helps mitigate harmful exposure to occupants and complements fire-mode operation, where airflow is managed to contain smoke and limit oxygen to a potential fire.

Building on these advancements, Honeywell is introducing new innovations within its Connected Life Safety Services (CLSS) platform and solutions to enhance visibility, coordination and reliability across the fire lifecycle.

As buildings evolve, discrepancies between system data and real-world layouts can create risk. Zone Sync helps keep floor plans, device mapping and alarm zones aligned across systems, providing a consistent and accurate source of truth for operators and first responders.

CLSS Rescue Assist helps support occupants who need additional assistance in emergency situations while giving building teams and first-responders real-time visibility during incidents. The result is faster, more informed response and clearer communication when it matters most.

Honeywell also introduced USDD's Phoenix G2 ATX Cellular Alerting, adding redundant cellular communication to its first responder platform. This capability helps ensure critical dispatch notifications continue even during network disruptions, improving reliability for emergency responders.
