Your air, at a glance.

Small Sensor. Clear Insight.

CO₂, Measured Directly.

A dedicated Senseair Sunrise sensor measures carbon dioxide using NDIR technology. See how CO₂ changes throughout the day and use your smart home to remind you when it is time to ventilate.

Comfort in Every Room.

Temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure complete the picture. Follow conditions in your bedroom, living room or home office, with new measurements every five minutes.

Years Between Battery Changes.

AirBee is designed for an expected battery life of at least 10 years with five-minute measurements and the included battery. Place it where you want to measure, without needing a nearby power socket.

Your Smart Home. Your Choice.

Connect to Home Assistant through Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA or Bluetooth LE with BTHome. Use the SENSY-ONE app to bring the same measurements to Homey Pro over Zigbee or BLE.

Know when your room needs fresh air.

A Clearer View of Your CO₂

AirBee measures CO₂ with the Senseair Sunrise optical sensor. View readings and trends in Home Assistant or Homey Pro, set your own notification thresholds, or use the measurements in ventilation automations.

Automatic baseline calibration supports stable readings over time in rooms that regularly return to fresh-air CO₂ levels. Built-in pressure compensation accounts for changes in atmospheric pressure, and manual outdoor-air calibration is available when needed.

Understand the room around you.

More Than CO₂

The Sensirion SHT45 measures temperature and relative humidity, while the Bosch BMP581 measures atmospheric pressure. Together, they help you follow changes in indoor conditions throughout the day.

Use temperature and humidity readings to build heating, cooling or humidity automations in your smart-home platform. All four measurements update every five minutes.

Small power draw. Long service.

Built for the Long Run

AirBee spends most of its time saving power, waking to measure and send an update every five minutes. Average current measured over five-hour tests is just 14.74 µA in Zigbee mode and 12.44 µA in Bluetooth LE mode.

With the included SAFT LS17500 3.6 V battery, expected battery life is at least 10 years with measurements every five minutes. Actual life depends on battery condition, temperature and installation conditions.

Home Assistant & Homey Pro

Home Assistant: Connect through Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA with a compatible Zigbee coordinator. For Bluetooth LE, use Home Assistant's built-in BTHome integration with a Bluetooth adapter or proxy.

Homey Pro: Install the SENSY-ONE app using the supplied Mac or Windows installer, then choose AirBee Zigbee or AirBee BLE. View measurement history in Insights and use readings in Flows. The app is currently installed from GitHub rather than the Homey App Store.

Choose Zigbee or Bluetooth LE using AirBee's button. One wireless mode is active at a time; Zigbee connects to one network at a time.
