Smart thermostats and IoT devices are the foundation of modern residential energy management, moving beyond simple scheduling to creating truly comfortable living spaces.
These devices require ultra-low-power environmental sensors to gather real-time, data needed for localized decisions. Our sensor solutions are designed for compact integration, providing the intelligence these devices need to optimize performance and reduce energy waste across the network.
The primary function of a smart thermostat is achieving thermal comfort efficiently, and this starts with highly accurate data.
The ENS21x family of high-performance digital temperature and humidity sensors delivers the stability and precision necessary for the thermostat’s core functions. Precise temperature readings ensure the HVAC system maintains the set point without wasting energy, while accurate humidity data is crucial for preventing excessive dryness or condensation. This data also enables the calculation of dewpoint, which is essential for managing moisture to prevent mold and mildew growth inside walls and ducts.
For Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management, the ENS16x Digital Metal Oxide Multi-Gas Sensor plays a vital role. This sensor detects Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are byproducts of human presence, cleaning supplies, and cooking fumes. Instead of following a fixed schedule, the system only brings in fresh air when the ENS16x detects an actual decline in air quality, boosting energy efficiency while ensuring a healthy and comfortable environment.
