Sensereo’s Airo frames indoor air quality (IAQ) as a distributed sensing job: instead of one “main” monitor, you dock and charge small, battery-powered pods and place them where exposure actually happens. Each pod is focused on a metric—CO2 for ventilation/cognitive comfort, particulate matter (PM/PM2.5) for smoke and dust events, TVOC for chemicals and off-gassing (including 3D printing), plus temperature and humidity for thermal balance—and the app translates raw telemetry into readable context and next steps. https://sensereo.com/
The modular design fits real homes because rooms behave differently: a bedroom can drift into high CO2 overnight, a kitchen can spike particulates during cooking, and a hobby corner can push VOCs after cleaning sprays or resin work. Airo’s “choose what you need, duplicate what you need” approach helps you validate changes like opening a window, adjusting HVAC airflow, or running a purifier, using room-level signal rather than a single average for the whole space, with air.
This interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, where Sensereo pitched “environmental intelligence” as an always-on measurement layer you can move and scale over time. The company describes a charging dock plus swappable sensor pods, with battery life on the order of weeks (around a month between charges for key pods), and notes its component sourcing with established sensor makers such as Bosch and Figaro for the sensing stack and calibration path, with Thread.
On connectivity, Airo is positioned to plug into mainstream smart-home graphs: low-power Thread links between pods, and Matter-oriented integration so platforms like Apple Home and Google Home can consume readings and trigger automations from thresholds (CO2, PM, TVOC). In the demo you see trend lines and historical views, which is where IAQ gets actionable: separating baseline drift from short spikes like wildfire smoke, cleaning sessions, or indoor smoking, using data.
The video also mentions an upcoming Kickstarter with a starter kit (dock plus four sensor pods) aimed at an entry price point under about US$200 for early backers. The broader takeaway is that modular sensing plus interoperable networking can make IAQ manageable like temperature: measure locally, compare over time, and trigger small interventions that reduce exposure without constant manual checking, with care.
