Fresh-r
freshr
The Fresh-r integration connects to the fresh-r.me cloud dashboard, letting you monitor all Fresh-r ventilation devices linked to your account. It polls the Fresh-r cloud to keep your data up to date. Use it to keep an eye on your indoor air quality and ventilation performance, or to trigger automations when CO2 or humidity levels need attention.
