Air Lite vs Air Pro 2
The Air Lite and Air Pro 2 are the two cellular outdoor units in the Sensorbee range. They share the same housing, mounting hardware, and cloud platform — the difference is how much sensor configurability you get.
At a glance
| Air Lite | Air Pro 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed pre-fitted sensors | Yes | Yes |
| Field-upgradeable sensor bays | No | Yes (up to 6 gas sensors, plus external) |
| Gas sensors available | — | CO₂, CO, NO, NO₂, SO₂, O₃, NH₃, CH₄, VOC |
| Weather sensors available | — | Wind, rain, pressure |
| Vibration / sound level sensors | — | Yes (external) |
| Cellular (LTE-M / NB-IoT) | Yes | Yes |
| Sensorbee Cloud | Yes | Yes |
Sensorbee Air Lite
The Air Lite is a sealed unit with a fixed sensor configuration. It's the simpler choice when you know up front that you need particulates and basic environmental parameters, and you don't need to change the sensor set later.
Pre-fitted sensors:
- ·Particle mass: PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10
- ·Particle count: PC1, PC2.5, PC4, PC10
- ·Temperature
- ·Humidity
- ·Ambient noise
For installation, see the Air Lite quick-start guide.
Sensorbee Air Pro 2
The Air Pro 2 is modular. The sensor bay accepts gas, weather, and external add-on sensors, which can be specified at order time or fitted in the field.
Supported sensors:
- ·Gas: carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulphur dioxide (SO₂), ozone (O₃), ammonia (NH₃), methane (CH₄), VOC
- ·Particulates: PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10 (mass) and PC1, PC2.5, PC4, PC10 (count)
- ·Environmental: temperature, humidity, pressure, ambient noise
- ·Weather: wind speed and direction, rainfall
- ·External: vibration, sound level (Class 2)
For installation, see the Air Pro 2 quick-start guide. For sensor-specific datasheets, see the Sensors section.
When to pick which
- ·Noise- and dust-led construction monitoring — Air Lite covers the brief with less configuration risk.
- ·Multi-parameter ambient or compliance monitoring — Air Pro 2; the modular sensor bay pays back quickly.
- ·Projects where the scope may expand — Air Pro 2; sensors can be added later without swapping the unit.
