V2 Roadmap
V2 adds the Sensirion SEN54 IAQ module — continuous CO₂, PM2.5, VOC, humidity. Paired with Ventus window actuator, Aera becomes an active air management system.
IAQ Sensing
Sensirion SEN54 — CO₂ · PM2.5 · VOC · RH
Filtration
Activated carbon canopy insert
Ventilation
Ventus window actuator
