Random news from the Archive Smart air pollution sensor IKEA VINDSTYRKA 16.02.2023 Swedish furniture giant IKEA has unveiled a smart sensor to track indoor air pollution. "The new VINDSTYRKA air quality sensor measures and monitors indoor pollutant levels, complementing IKEA's existing range of smart solutions for better indoor air quality," the company said. According to company spokesman Henrik Telander, VINDSTYRKA is committed to creating an affordable, high-performance air quality sensor to help customers become more aware of the quality of the air they breathe in their homes. "We take it for granted that the air in our homes is clean, but small daily activities like cooking or cleaning can degrade air quality just as much as industry or traffic," he added. The most harmful pollutants, particulate matter (PM2,5), cannot be seen with the naked eye. VINDSTYRKA has a display showing the level of these parts, humidity, temperature. When connected to DIRIGERA, the smart hub of smart products, the sensor allows you to read the level of indoor air quality in the IKEA Home smart app. VINDSTYRKA will be available in all IKEA markets from April 2023.
