Air Sensei hardware · HVAC system awareness
HVAC MonitorWhen the system calls, Air Sensei gets context.
A compact wired monitor designed to connect alongside compatible low-voltage thermostat wiring and report heating, cooling, and fan calls over Matter on Thread through Air Hub.

Room sensors show the conditions.HVAC Monitor adds the call.
Comfort makes more sense when room conditions can be seen beside the system's demand state. HVAC Monitor is designed to add that missing layer without becoming another thermostat.
Read the request
Heat. Cool. Fan. See the call clearly.
Designed to observe compatible low-voltage thermostat control wiring, the monitor turns heating, cooling, and fan-circulation calls into simple connected states.
A call is not proof of operation.
Reported states indicate thermostat control calls. They do not verify that the furnace, compressor, or blower started or is operating correctly.

Designed for two locations
Meet the same call at either end.
The concept is designed to connect alongside compatible thermostat control wiring—where the cable reaches the HVAC equipment or where it meets the thermostat.
Behind the thermostat.
An alternate concept for compatible thermostat-side wiring when the final electrical and clearance requirements allow it.
Conceptual locations only. Final supported systems, wiring, power, terminal mapping, clearances, and installation guidance are to be announced.
A local path for system context
From thermostat call to useful context.
Matter defines the connected state. Thread carries it locally. Air Hub provides the network path into the Air Sensei home.

The missing system layer
Room conditions, seen beside system activity.
Environmental Sensor is designed to describe what a room feels like. HVAC Monitor adds when the thermostat is requesting conditioned air. Together, those signals can give future Air Sensei automations a clearer picture of cause and effect.

A compact triangle built around one clear job.
Designed to sit near the wiring, the compact enclosure keeps the monitor out of your everyday space. A status light provides a quick check, while connected call states appear in the Air Sensei system.

Questions, answered
What a thermostat call tells you.
Does HVAC Monitor control the heating or cooling system?
No. The product concept is a read-only monitor for compatible thermostat control calls. It is not intended to replace the thermostat, switch HVAC equipment, or override its safety controls.
Is a call the same as equipment actually running?
No. A reported state indicates that the thermostat control circuit is calling for heating, cooling, or fan circulation. It does not prove that the furnace, compressor, or blower started or is operating correctly.
Can it connect at the equipment or thermostat side?
That is the design intent for compatible systems. Final supported HVAC types, wiring locations, terminal mapping, power method, clearances, and installer guidance will be published before launch.
How do Matter, Thread, and Air Hub fit together?
HVAC Monitor is designed to expose call states through Matter over Thread. Air Hub provides the Thread network path so an authorized Matter controller and the Air Sensei system can reach that context.
Why does the product visualization show four leads?
The four-lead triangular enclosure is an industrial-design concept. It is not a wiring diagram, and the final harness, conductor colors, labels, and pinout have not been published.
