Thingsee AIR

Indoor air quality sensor with CO₂, TVOC, temperature, humidity, and pressure monitoring

Overview

Thingsee AIR is a battery-powered wireless IoT sensor designed for comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring. It measures CO₂, TVOC, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, providing real-time data to optimize ventilation, HVAC efficiency, and occupant comfort.

Thingsee AIR measurements

The sensor uses intelligent event-based reporting to minimize power consumption while ensuring critical air quality changes are captured immediately. With up to 4 years of battery life, it’s ideal for large-scale deployments across office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail spaces.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive IAQ Monitoring: CO₂, TVOC, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure
  • Long Battery Life: Up to 4 years with 5-minute reporting interval
  • Event-Based Reporting: Intelligent threshold detection minimizes unnecessary transmissions
  • Wirepas Mesh Network: Reliable wireless connectivity, multi-hop routing
  • Easy Installation: Battery-powered, wall-mountable, no wiring required
  • Wide Certifications: CE, FCC, ISED, RoHS, RCM, MIC, UKCA, and more

Quick Start

  1. Install sensor - Mount on wall at breathing height (1.2-1.8m)
  2. Insert batteries - 2x AA alkaline batteries
  3. Verify operation - Allow 24-48 hours for CO₂ baseline
  4. Monitor data - View readings in Haltian IoT Studio
