Last week, MT14 & MT10 received an "A" grade for ECV certification per UL 2905, demonstrating through third-party certification that they deliver accuracy and effectiveness in their measurement of indoor air pollutants.    When it comes to indoor air quality monitoring which can have meaningful impact on an occupant's safety and comfort, customers have little room to take risks. Metrics like temperature and humidity can affect an occupant's comfort in the room, while particulate matter can cause airway irritation and decreased productivity. Indoor air pollution can come from common sources such as oil, gas, wood, building materials, and outdoor sources, and can be exacerbated if a building has poor ventilation. While staff at schools and office buildings may be particularly interested in monitoring their indoor air quality, it benefits people across all industries to pay attention to their air quality. Unfortunately, common organic pollutants can be up to five times higher inside homes than outside.    Air quality monitors such as MT14 are critical tools for customers to keep a close eye on environmental metrics in a room and ensure that their occupants are in a comfortable setting. By accurately detecting changes in the environment and receiving real-time alerts when thresholds are surpassed, customers can quickly address the issue at hand. Air quality monitors with certifications such as UL 2905 have had their accuracy claims even further validated, which strengthens their ability to support a customer in providing a healthier indoor environment.   MT10 and MT14 are the first-ever Cisco Meraki products to be listed in the UL SPOT database, which contains over 130,000 UL ECV approved products.    More on UL and the certification: UL is a global safety science leader and offers the ECV claim per UL 2905, which verifies the accuracy of readings for multiple IAQ parameters including temperature, relative humidity, and PM2.5 detection.    MT14 certificate:   MT10 certificate:   ...

High sampling mode on MT14 has moved out of early access and is GA 🎉    High sampling mode on MT14 increases the sampling frequency for key metrics used to detect vape. With this mode enabled, organizations can monitor for sudden spikes in air quality that may be missed with less frequent sampling. Opting your MT14 into high sampling mode enables it to sample PM2.5 once every 1 second, TVOC every 90 seconds, and ambient noise every 5 seconds. Temperature and humidity will be unavailable.    There is a new default potential vape detection alert that is available to help customers set up their MT14s for vape detection as easily as possible! Activate the default potential vape detection alert by toggling the sensor into high sampling mode on the Sensor Settings page. Once the default vape detection alert is created, future MT14s can be added with one click; no need to scroll to the bottom of the alert config page and hit save.   As a reminder, MT14s must be persistently powered for this mode to be enabled.   Additional resources: - Our documentation for more information on technical details - You can also listen to this podcast featuring Saralyn, Katie and myself to learn more about the opportunity! - Here's a video demo of how to add your MT14 to the default potential vape detection alert: - Case studies to come 🙂    Reach out to Angela, Konark, Ollie, or Saralyn for questions. ...

High sampling mode for MT14 is now available as an Early Access program on dashboard!   In this mode, MT14s can sample PM2.5 and ambient noise at faster rates, to support vape detection use cases. Specifically, PM2.5 will sample once every 1 second, and ambient noise will sample once every 5 seconds. TVOC will continue to sample once every 90 seconds, and temperature and humidity are disabled.   Note that your MT14 must be persistently powered in order to run this mode.   To enable this mode, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to Organization>Early Access and toggle to the button shown below to enable access to this feature.   2. After High Sampling is enabled via Early Access, navigate to Settings on the Sensor Details page to turn on the feature.   See more in our documentation. Happy testing and please share any feedback that you have with the MT PM team (Angela: angehuan@cisco.com or Konark: konjain@cisco.com)! ... View more
