KANKANAL Bathroom Odor Detector

Smart multi-sensor bathroom odor detector with long-range wireless connectivity through the KANKANAL LoRaWAN Gateway for real-time hygiene and ventilation monitoring.

Product Overview

The KANKANAL Bathroom Odor Detector is a wireless, battery-powered sensor designed for restrooms and washrooms in offices, malls, airports, hotels and public facilities. It continuously monitors odor gases, temperature and humidity, and sends data over the KANKANAL LoRaWAN Gateway to DeviceBoard or your building management platform for cleaning alerts, ventilation control and hygiene analytics.

1. Advanced Odor & Gas Sensing

  • Electrochemical sensing for accurate detection of bathroom-related gases.
  • Measures ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) at low ppm levels to catch odors early.
  • High sensitivity and low drift for consistent performance over its service life.
  • Configurable thresholds to match different restroom sizes and ventilation levels.

2. Temperature & Humidity Awareness

  • Built-in temperature sensor for comfort and HVAC control.
  • Humidity monitoring to identify damp conditions that can cause mold or discomfort.
  • Combines odor, temperature and humidity data to support smart ventilation strategies.
  • Ideal for energy-efficient restrooms where fans should run only when needed.

3. LoRaWAN Connectivity via KANKANAL Gateway

  • Integrated LoRaWAN radio for long-range, low-power communication.
  • Connects securely to the KANKANAL LoRaWAN Gateway, enabling building-wide and campus-wide coverage.
  • Supports bi-directional messaging – readings go up, control commands (e.g., ventilation start/stop) can come down.
  • Suitable for large restroom networks across malls, campuses, airports and stadiums with minimal infrastructure.

4. Smart Alerts & Automation

  • LED indicator and buzzer for local audible/visual alarms when odor exceeds thresholds.
  • Direct low-latency device-to-device automation support – can trigger exhaust fans or other actuators without needing constant cloud connectivity.
  • Integrates with DeviceBoard for SMS, e-mail or app notifications to housekeeping teams.
  • Use rule flows to generate cleaning tickets or maintenance work orders in ERP systems.

5. Battery-Powered & Maintenance-Friendly

  • Runs on internal lithium batteries – no mains wiring required.
  • Designed for multi-year operation under typical reporting intervals.
  • Configurable reporting and alarm intervals to balance responsiveness and battery life.
  • Battery-low status reported via LoRaWAN so teams know when replacement is needed.

6. Bathroom-Ready Industrial Design

  • Compact, wall-mountable enclosure that blends into modern restroom interiors.
  • Flame-retardant housing and moisture-resistant internals suited for humid environments.
  • Wide operating temperature and humidity tolerance for public washrooms and service areas.
  • Supplied with screw mounting for secure installation and anti-tamper deployment.

7. Use Cases & Key Benefits

  • Commercial buildings: office towers, IT parks, coworking spaces.
  • Transportation hubs: airports, metro stations, bus terminals.
  • Retail & hospitality: malls, cinemas, restaurants, hotels.
  • Education & healthcare: campuses, hospitals and clinics.
  • Improves user experience, supports cleanliness SLAs and reduces complaints.
  • Enables data-driven cleaning schedules instead of fixed-time rounds.
