MClimate CO2 DISPLAY LITE

MC-LW-LITE-CO2-E-INK-01

A Ready For Anything® building block for Niagara-based indoor air quality control with clear, E-Ink Display and solar panel

Make CO₂ visible in the room — and actionable in the system.

MC-LW-LITE-CO2-E-INK-01 is a LoRaWAN® CO₂ sensor with a low-power e-ink display, designed to make indoor air quality immediately visible to occupants while enabling Niagara to deliver demand-driven ventilation and energy-efficient operation.

The problem this product exists to solve

In many buildings, indoor air quality is either invisible to occupants or hidden in dashboards that only specialists ever see. Ventilation then runs on fixed schedules or assumptions — leading to wasted energy, inconsistent comfort, and poor air quality during occupancy peaks.

The issue isn’t a lack of sensors or ventilation equipment. It’s the absence of clear, room-level CO₂ visibility that can be integrated into a system capable of responding intelligently.

When this problem is addressed properly, air quality becomes measurable, understandable, and controllable — without adding operational complexity.

Why this product is Ready For Anything®

Ready for Today

• NDIR CO₂ sensing provides accurate, real-time indoor air quality insight
• 1.54" e-ink display makes CO₂ levels visible at the point of use
• Temperature and humidity sensing adds comfort context
• Reduces “stuffy room” complaints by making conditions transparent

Ready for Tomorrow

• LoRaWAN® Class A connectivity supports scalable retrofits without rewiring
• Solar-powered design enables battery-free operation in normal indoor lighting
• Indefinite operation when powered by ambient light
• FUOTA (Firmware Update Over The Air) supports long-term lifecycle adaptability

Ready for Security

• LoRaWAN® end-to-end encryption (AES-CTR)
• No dependency on exposed local IP networks
• Low-maintenance design reduces operational risk

Ready for Integration

• Open LoRaWAN® protocol (LoRaWAN® 1.0.3)
• Compatible with multi-vendor BMS architectures
• Supported via Innon’s LoRaWAN driver for Niagara
• Avoids lock-in and fragile, one-off integrations

What makes this product different

Many CO₂ sensors are invisible infrastructure — useful, but disconnected from occupants and daily operation. This device adds a critical missing layer: clear, local visibility.

• E-ink display: ultra-low power, always readable, and ideal for continuous IAQ visibility.
• Solar-powered operation: no batteries to replace under normal indoor lighting conditions.
• Behaviour + system alignment: occupants see air quality while Niagara optimises ventilation.
• Designed for systems: built to feed control logic, not just dashboards.

Typical applications (where local IAQ visibility matters)

• Meeting rooms: CO₂ rises quickly; visibility supports faster ventilation response.
• Classrooms: staff gain an immediate visual cue when air quality degrades.
• Offices and shared spaces: fewer subjective comfort complaints.
• Hotels and commercial buildings: supports wellbeing and sustainability goals.
• Energy optimisation: enables ventilation only when needed.

How this fits into a Ready For Anything® Niagara + LoRaWAN IAQ solution

On its own, MC-LW-LITE-CO2-E-INK-01 makes indoor air quality visible and measurable at room level. When integrated into a Niagara-based LoRaWAN architecture, it becomes part of a Ready For Anything® IAQ solution designed to stay useful long after handover.

• Niagara centralises IAQ data across rooms and buildings
• Ventilation becomes demand-driven rather than schedule-driven
• Operators gain clear evidence for optimisation and reporting
• Occupants benefit from transparency and improved comfort

From good systems to great outcomes

• Healthier indoor environments
• Reduced ventilation energy consumption
• Fewer comfort complaints and faster diagnosis
• Battery-free sensing under normal indoor lighting
• Systems that remain understandable and adaptable over time
