LAS VEGAS — If you’ve amassed a collection of cheap umbrellas due to a year’s worth of unexpected downpours, Oombrella could come as a welcome relief.

The smart umbrella from French start-up Wezzoo works in tandem with an app to tell you when it’s going to rain via a smartphone notification. And if you’ve already left home but are still close by, the umbrella might shoot a notification telling you to come back and grab it. The product — whose Kickstarter launch we covered back in March — was on display at 2017 International CES.
