How It Works
From sensor to insight in four simple steps. Understand the complete data journey from property to dashboard.
The Data Journey
End-to-end environmental monitoring designed for reliability, security, and scale.
Sense
Ultra-low-power wireless sensors continuously monitor environmental conditions throughout your properties. Each sensor measures humidity, temperature, and can detect early signs of damp and mould risk.
- 5+ year battery life with CR2477 cell
- No tenant WiFi or interaction required
- Readings every 15 minutes (configurable)
- Tamper-resistant, discrete design
Environmental Sensors
Humidity • Temperature • Dew Point • Mould Risk Index
Collect
The mains-powered Hub acts as the central receiver for all sensors in a property. Using sub-GHz radio frequencies, it achieves better wall penetration than WiFi and maintains connection even in challenging building structures.
- Supports 20+ sensors per hub
- Sub-GHz radio for superior range (15-50m)
- Local data buffering if connectivity drops
- Simple plug-and-play installation
Property Hub
GSM/4G • WiFi Fallback • Local Buffer • Encrypted Uplink
Process
Data flows securely to our UK-hosted cloud platform where it's encrypted, stored, and analysed in real-time. Our algorithms calculate mould risk scores, identify trends, and flag properties requiring attention.
- TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit
- AES-256 encryption at rest
- Mould risk prediction algorithms
- Automated anomaly detection

Common Questions
A typical property takes 15-30 minutes. The hub plugs into any mains socket, and sensors are simply placed in key locations (no wiring required). Our team can install or we provide guidance for self-installation.
No. The system is completely passive and requires no tenant interaction. Sensors don't need WiFi access and work silently in the background. Tenants simply need to allow access for initial installation.
The hub stores data locally and automatically uploads when connectivity is restored. No readings are lost. GSM-connected hubs have independent connectivity that doesn't rely on property broadband.
Our sensors use industrial-grade components with ±2% humidity accuracy and ±0.3°C temperature accuracy. Each sensor is factory calibrated and readings are validated against known references.
