Monitoring Indoor Air Quality with Kube-Sky Devices

In our Device Showcase article series, we introduce the measurement devices we manufacture – this time, featuring the Kube-Sky device. We’ll explain what it measures, what makes it unique, and most importantly, how it simplifies your everyday life, one measurement at a time.

The Kube-Sky device efficiently monitors indoor air quality in a variety of environments, such as offices, schools, and public spaces. Whether it’s monitoring air quality in the workplace or managing conditions during construction, Kube-Sky provides reliable real-time measurements. This ensures healthy and optimal conditions for employees, visitors, and building projects.

Why is air quality monitoring important?

Indoor air quality affects people’s well-being and the comfort of work environments. Poor air quality can lead to health issues and decreased productivity. Regular and precise air quality monitoring is a critical part of maintaining modern work environments, and with the Kube-Sky device, ensuring healthy indoor air and efficient ventilation becomes smooth and reliable.

During construction, condition monitoring is essential, as it impacts the durability of structures and the workflow on the site. Kube-Sky devices monitor the indoor air quality and structural conditions of construction sites, such as humidity, temperature, and particle levels. Excessive humidity can lead to mold problems or weaken materials, and temperature fluctuations can affect structural integrity. With real-time monitoring, conditions can be adjusted immediately when necessary, helping to prevent delays and ensure high construction quality throughout the process.

Benefits of Kube-Sky Devices

Kube-Sky devices offer a comprehensive and easy-to-use solution for air quality monitoring. They measure:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Carbon dioxide levels
• Particle concentrations
• Light intensity (lux)

These parameters can be monitored in real time, allowing quick and effective responses to any ventilation or environmental issues. Additionally, Kube-Sky devices are aesthetically designed to blend seamlessly into their surroundings.

Applications

Kube-Sky devices are suitable for various industries and environments, including:

• Offices: Real-time air quality monitoring ensures a healthy and productive atmosphere in workspaces.
• Schools: Kube-Sky helps maintain classroom air quality in changing conditions and reduces the risk of illness.
• Public spaces: Libraries, gyms, and other public venues benefit from air quality monitoring, enhancing the user experience.
• Construction: On construction sites, condition monitoring helps manage humidity, temperature, and air purity, ensuring the quality of structures.

Kube-Sky Device Models

The Kube-Sky range includes five different models that measure various indoor air parameters:

• Kube-Sky-RHT-Lux: Measures temperature, humidity, and light levels. Particularly useful in spaces where lighting conditions or activity monitoring is needed.
• Kube-Sky-RHT-PM0440: Measures temperature, humidity, and particle concentrations (0.4–40 μm). Requires external power supply.
• Kube-Sky-RHT-PM0413: Measures temperature, humidity, and particle concentrations (0.4–12.4 μm). Requires external power supply.
• Kube-Sky-RHT-CO2: Measures temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels.
• Kube-Sky-RHT: Measures temperature and humidity.

Sky Technology and Connectivity

Kube-Sky devices utilize Sky technology developed by Nokeval, which is based on LoRa radio modulation. This enables efficient, low-power data transmission without relying on LoRaWAN operator networks. Sky technology operates on the license-free 433 MHz radio band, ensuring excellent coverage and low power consumption. For those who prefer to use LoRaWAN technology, we offer a compatible Kombi transmitter.

The devices can be integrated into the customer’s existing monitoring systems or Nokeval’s cloud service. Integration is achieved using the Stable-Sky-Node receiver.
