Squair Basic Indoor Air Quality Monitor - AQI, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOC, Temperature & Humidity With WiFi & Mobile App EnabledSquair Lite Indoor Air Quality Monitor - AQI, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOC, Temperature & Humidity With WiFi & Mobile App Enabled

SQUAIR Lite tracks seven metrics: PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOCs, Temperature, and Humidity. It is Wi-Fi only and lacks a physical screen — you view readings on the AQI app, web dashboard, or TV. SQUAIR Basic tracks eight metrics: all the above plus Formaldehyde (HCHO). It features a built-in Smart Display for live readings on the unit itself and includes RS-485 (MODBUS RTU) for Building Management System (BMS) integrations.

Absolutely. The SQUAIR Basic includes a Smart Display on its front panel, showing live AQI and pollutant data, allowing people to check air quality without using an app. The SQUAIR Lite does not have a screen; its data is accessed solely through the AQI mobile app, dashboard, or TV app.

Only the SQUAIR Basic tracks formaldehyde. It utilises an Electrochemical sensor (range 0-2 ppm, resolution 0.01 ppb, +/-3% accuracy). Formaldehyde frequently off-gasses from MDF, carpets, adhesives, and paints, making this essential for new constructions, schools, or hospitals.

SQUAIR Lite is ideal if you want a straightforward, app-linked monitor for a home, small workplace, or cafe. It monitors all essential indoor air parameters, complies with LEED, WELL, and ASHRAE 62.1, and doesn't need wired BMS integration. It's also perfect if you want a monitor that blends into the background without a glowing screen.

SQUAIR Basic is the optimal choice if your facility utilises a BMS requiring RS-485/MODBUS, if there's a heightened risk of formaldehyde (like in new builds or hospitals), or if you want an on-device screen for public areas like reception desks. It's highly recommended for WELL v2 projects tracking formaldehyde.

Yes. Both units are 12 x 12 x 3 cm, weigh 227g, feature ABS plastic casing, and require 12V DC power. They can be mounted on walls or ceilings, and include mounting hardware. Both operate between -10°C to 60°C and 0-95% relative humidity.

It employs a 90-degree Light Scattering (laser optical) sensor to read all three PM sizes at once. It measures how particles scatter a laser beam. The range is 0-999 ug/m3 (1 ug/m3 resolution). Accuracy is +/-10% below 150 ug/m3 and +/-15% above.

The monitor uses an NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) sensor, which is the industry standard for indoor CO2. It measures from 0 to 5,000 ppm (1 ppm resolution, +/-3% or +/-50 ppm accuracy). This is ideal for identifying poor ventilation in offices and classrooms.

A MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) gas sensor handles TVOCs. It detects 0 to 65 ppm with a fine 10 ppb resolution and +/-3% accuracy. This sensitivity easily catches emissions from furniture, cleaning supplies, and personal care products.

Temperature is read by an RTD sensor (-40°C to 70°C, 0.1°C resolution, +/-0.3°C accuracy). Humidity uses a Capacitive sensor (0-100% RH, 0.1% resolution, +/-2% accuracy).

The Lite model uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi exclusively. The Basic model supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi alongside wired RS-485 (MODBUS RTU) communication, enabling it to connect to Building Management Systems and industrial setups.

Yes, but exclusively with the SQUAIR Basic model via its RS-485 MODBUS RTU connection. The SQUAIR Lite model lacks RS-485 and cannot connect to BMS networks.

You can view your data across four tools: the AQI.IN app (iOS/Android) for live readings and alerts; the AQI.IN web dashboard for comprehensive management; the AQI TV app for larger displays; and Digital Signage outputs for commercial buildings and schools.

Yes, via the web dashboard you can generate a public link to share live data securely. Furthermore, each unit can produce a QR code that visitors can scan to view current readings on their smartphones.

The web dashboard allows exporting historical data as CSV, Excel, or PDF files. You can pull these manually or schedule them automatically, and filter by specific pollutants—very handy for WELL/LEED audits.

Yes. Both versions utilise the correct sensor technologies (NDIR for CO2, laser for PM) and ranges needed for WELL v2 (A01/A05), LEED v4.1, and ASHRAE 62.1 compliance.

Yes. Because WELL v2 often assesses formaldehyde, the Basic model's Electrochemical HCHO sensor provides the required sensitivity and accuracy. If you only need to track PM2.5 and CO2, the Lite version will suffice.

SQUAIR is utilised across multiple sectors. Clients include Marriott and Westin (hospitality), Indira IVF (healthcare), Hong's Kitchen (F&B), BCG and CII (corporate), and InterGlobe Aviation. Several leading educational institutions also use it.

Yes, Heritage International Xperiential School runs over 40 units. Other institutions like the American School of Bombay and LFID also use SQUAIR to monitor classroom air quality and meet international standards.

Both the Lite and Basic SQUAIR monitors include a 1-year manufacturer's warranty covering any material or workmanship defects under regular use.

It does not cover physical damage from dropping or mishandling, improper installation, unauthorised modifications, or usage outside the recommended environmental limits (-10°C to 60°C, 0-95% RH).

You can visit support.pranaair.com to raise tickets or view guides. You may also email support@pranaair.com or call our international or Indian support lines for help with setup or app issues.

Yes, for institutional or enterprise rollouts, Prana Air offers direct assistance with installation, BMS setup, and post-deployment monitoring. Contact us via our website to arrange this.

First, restart the unit and your 2.4 GHz router (5 GHz is unsupported). If it remains offline, try repairing the device via the AQI.IN app. If issues persist, raise a ticket at support.pranaair.com.
