Alea Air on Windows Pc

About Alea

Alea Air replaces standard supply registers with sensor-equipped registers that automatically measure each room’s dynamic conditions and optimally balance air distribution throughout the home.

Key Benefits to Users:

Comfort

Alea’s smart vents work with your existing HVAC system to allocate the right amount of conditioned air to the right rooms at the right time.

Air Quality

Alea monitors for the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and automatically sends an alert if the air quality declines.

Energy Savings

Heating and cooling often account for more than 50% of household energy consumption. Alea optimizes the HVAC runtime for more efficient energy usage.

How It Works

Alea Air works via a cloud-enabled, machine learning system that analyzes data and sends instructions via the Alea AirHub to each vent based on users' room-by-room preferences, weather forecasts, occupancy, room size and orientation, time of day, and more.

Once installed, the system generates a thermal profile of the entire home, allowing it to run central heating and cooling systems at far higher efficiency.

The networked Alea Air vents start measuring all the key environmental data about each room’s air condition. The data is regularly wirelessly transmitted to Alea’s Cloud Analytics and machine learning engine.

Alea Air cloud system analyzes data and sends instructions via the proprietary Alea AirHub to each vent based on users' room-by-room preferences, weather forecasts, occupancy, room size and orientation, time of day, and more.

The Alea Air system continues to monitor the working and performance of HVAC system, maintaining historical data logs and helping it to run central heating and cooling systems at far higher efficiency.

All relevant data is available in an easy to understand dashboard format for the homeowner or his authorized maintenance technician.

Additionally, whenever an issue is detected, alerts are automatically sent out to the homeowner and/or their authorized technician.

App setup:

Step 1: Connect AleaHub
Step 2: Register & Add Property Details in app
Step 3: Name & Detect Vents (~2 minutes) Step 4: Group & Schedule Vents (optional)

Installation

- As little as 5 minutes per vent (swap registers and configure the Alea app)
- The minimum we recommend is 3 vents per home. Maximum benefit would come from replacing all registers in a home for a whole-home solution.

Requirements
- Central forced-air heating and/or cooling HVAC system.
- Internet connection
- App is required to setup, monitor, and control Alea.
- Preferably, a connected thermostat so that Alea can communicate with it.

Compatibility

- Works with Nest, Ecobee, Resideo (aka Honeywell), Alexa, Google Home, and more coming based on open API availability

Battery

- 4 AA batteries supplemented with Alea’s proprietary Energy Harvester (not available in 3”x10” Alea vent)
Wireless Radios

- BLE for direct connectivity to a mobile device - 915MHz radio with Alea proprietary protocol for highly reliable, low-power, long-range (130ft through 6 walls) connectivity
