Air quality
and smoke sensor Elpo

Usage description

1. State of the art technology

To determine whether a dangerous situation is actually developing in a room, the sensor uses infrared light, invisible to the human eye, as well as visible light.

Since smoke produced in a fire reflects infrared and visible light differently than dust and vapour, the sensor only raises an alarm if it actually detects the presence of dangerous smoke.

2. What is Elpo, and how does it work?

Elpo is a cutting-edge sensor that uses the Internet of Things (LTE-M) to remotely monitor indoor air quality and prevent accidents.

The sensor measures air quality, temperature and humidity.
The device reports smoke and carbon monoxide threats.
In emergency situations, you and five other people can receive a message.
All measurements are conveniently viewed in the LMT Elpo app, and they are updated once an hour.
In the app, you can quickly set various Elpo parameters and view measurements.
The app is available in Latvian and English.
