Unlock 10x More Value with Kaiterra: The Superior Choice for IAQ Monitoring Over Airthings
TRUSTED BY THE WORLD'S MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES







We sent a Sensedge to 15 members of our LinkedIn Workplace Team and found that the more people knew about their indoor air quality, the more they took steps to improve it. Employers should encourage this growing awareness of IAQ and do what they can to help support better air quality in their workers’ homes and at the office.


Our employees are our greatest asset, so we wanted to design a space that was comfortable, inviting, and most importantly, safe to return to. With the air quality data provided by our Sensedges, we were able to be transparent about the air quality while also being able to apply these findings to the WELL certification process.

We collaborated with Kaiterra to help improve IAQ in the built environment. Connecting Kaiterra sensors to Johnson Controls Metasys or OpenBlue, has proven to improve performance, reduce COVID risk, and optimize energy.

Kaiterra vs Airthings FAQ
Kaiterra is built for large commercial buildings, offices, and facilities that require advanced, real-time IAQ monitoring across multiple zones.
Our solutions offer a wider range of parameters, advanced data analytics, enterprise-grade security, and robust BMS integration, making them ideal for large global portfolios. Both wired and wireless options are available, making Kaiterra suitable for projects at any stage of their lifecycle.
In contrast, Airthings is better suited for homes or small businesses with simpler monitoring needs and less complex data and security requirements.
Kaiterra offers both wired and wireless solutions to meet the needs of both new builds and retrofit projects.
Our wired solutions, the Sensedge and Sensedge Mini, are easy to install in new builds, providing reliable power and connectivity.
For retrofit projects, our wireless solution, the Sensedge Go, features a peel-and-stick installation that takes just seconds, with no configuration required to bring the device online.
In contrast, Airthings only offers wireless options, which require special configuration for both the device and the gateway, adding complexity to the setup process, especially for large-scale deployments.
Kaiterra’s IAQ monitors support both BACnet and Modbus for seamless building automation. BTL-certified, these devices ensure robust and straightforward integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), making Kaiterra the ideal choice for projects requiring advanced automation and control logic, such as demand-controlled ventilation.
In contrast, Airthings lacks BMS integration capabilities, making it impossible to use for projects that need building automation.
