Air purifiers

Environmental sensors help to make air purifiers smart

The air we breathe in our homes often contains dust, mold spores and other airborne contaminants. Research has shown that polluted air contributes to various illnesses like allergies or asthma. Since we spend 80 to 90 percent of our time in enclosed spaces and the air inside can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoors, clean indoor air is a key element in protecting your health. Indoor air quality sensors detect contaminants in the air and allow us to take action to improve air quality in closed spaces. 

 

Air quality monitoring in combination with air filtration using air purifiers protects our health and improves our well-being. Air purifiers clean the air inside homes by trapping pollutants such as fine dust, smoke, and odors in filters. 

 

For air purifiers to work reliably, precise measurement of air quality parameters is key. Our broad portfolio of environmental sensors caters to customer specific needs. We offer sensors for accurate detection of volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, formaldehyde, CO2, and nitrogen oxides.

How our sensors make a difference

Compliance with healthy building standards

Our sensors are designed to meet the highest quality standards. They also comply with IAQ standards like RESET®, WELL Building Standard™ and California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, streamlining device certification. This translates to a faster time to market, enabling quicker project completion and a more efficient path to regulatory compliance.

Cost-efficient and fast design-in with combo modules

Our combo modules integrate multiple sensors in one platform, measuring up to 9 environmental parameters. They eliminate the complexity of sensor integration and development, reducing time to market and development costs.

Improved device performance

By precisely monitoring air quality in real time, our sensors ensure consistent and reliable purification results over device lifetime, offering people peace of mind regarding the air quality in their homes.

Autonomous device control

Our environmental sensors enable automated operation of air purifiers. Depending on the level of air pollution, smart air purifiers adapt the air flow rate through the filter to provide clean air for the user.

Matter for smart home devices 

 

Matter™ is an industry-unifying standard that is transforming the smart home experience by simplifying device setup and ensuring consistency. This single protocol connects compatible devices and systems, offering a complete toolkit. Developed collaboratively by leading companies globally, Matter accelerates smart home adoption through enhanced interoperability.

 

As a member of the Connectivity Standards Alliance™, we are supporting Matter's adoption and growth. Our involvement underscores our commitment to driving compatibility in the smart home ecosystem and fostering collaboration with other industry members.
