IKEA’s New Smart Air Quality Sensor – VINDSTYRKA

IKEA just announced that they’re on a mission to give everyone access to clean air by raising awareness about indoor pollutants and providing solutions to improve the air we breathe indoors.

Their latest creation is VINDSTYRKA, a smart sensor for indoor use that lets you measure and monitor the air quality in your home.

Henrik Telander, Product Owner at IKEA of Sweden, said “although we spend most of our time indoors, we tend to forget about indoor air pollution”

With VINDSTYRKA, they wanted to create an affordable and high-performing air quality sensor to help customers become more aware of the air quality in their homes.

VINDSTYRKA shows PM2.5 levels, humidity, temperature, and TVOC, which are the most harmful pollutants that can’t be seen by the naked eye.

When connected to DIRIGERA, a hub for smart products, the sensor displays indoor air quality levels in the IKEA Home smart app, and you can even program VINDSTYRKA to trigger other smart devices, making air quality levels actionable.

VINDSTYRKA can be used alone, but it can also enhance the capabilities of their existing smart air purifier.

When connected to STARKVIND, the fan speed automatically adjusts based on the amount of PM2.5 in the air, ensuring that the air in your home is always as clean as possible.

IKEA wants to offer a variety of products and smart solutions to help people make the right changes for a home with cleaner air.

VINDSTYRKA will be available in all IKEA markets starting April 2023, according to IKEA.
