Compact yet capable: let’s unpack the features

Nicla Sense Env might be small in size, but it’s packed with advanced features that make it a powerhouse for environmental monitoring.

  • Monitor indoor and outdoor environments with AI-ready Renesas sensors. Nicla Sense Env offers temperature and humidity monitoring through the HS4001 sensor and AI-enabled gas detection with the ZMOD4410AI1V and ZMOD4510AI1V sensors. These provide real-time data on air quality, including the detection of TVOCs, NO2, O3, and other gasses, both indoors and outdoors.
  • 22.86 x 22.86 mm = huge potential. With the tiny form factor the Nicla family is known for, Nicla Sense Env can easily fit into any project, allowing you to integrate environmental sensing without compromising on space or design.
  • Robust, reliable, and ready to stand the test of time. Built with industrial-grade sensors, Nicla Sense Env is engineered for durability and accuracy, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging conditions. What’s more, it was designed for 24/7 operation: ultra-low power consumption makes it ideal for long-term deployments in any situation. 
  • Fits right in, with seamless integration and wide compatibility. Whether you’re working with Portenta SOMs or MKR products, Nicla Sense Env connects effortlessly via ESLOV (I2C) or header pins. It’s also compatible with Arduino IDE and MicroPython, so you can start programming right out of the box. And of course, it works great with a variety of libraries and tutorials available through the Arduino ecosystem.

Real-world applications? We sense endless possibilities!

Nicla Sense Env is a versatile and accessible tool for environmental monitoring: it’s your new ally whether you’re developing something new or enhancing an existing project, working on a prototype or full-fledged industrial-scale solution.

Nicla Sense Env fits perfectly into HVAC systems, helping you monitor air quality, humidity, and temperature to keep smart buildings comfortable and compliant with environmental regulations. In air purifiers, it provides real-time data that allow for energy-efficient operation and better air quality by detecting harmful gasses and adjusting the system as needed. When it comes to safety, it can play a critical role in detecting fumes and smoke, triggering early warnings to prevent potential hazards both indoors and outdoors. In industrial settings, it can monitor air quality and detect toxic substances, ensuring that machinery runs safely and efficiently. And these are only the first examples of applications that come to mind!
