Aplikacja dedykowana do sterowania i zarządzania urządzeniem „Eko-Słupek AirSensor”. „Eko-Słupek AirSensor” służy do sygnalizowania jakości powietrza za pomocą koloru światła LED, zgodnie z Polskim Indeksem Jakości Powietrza, na podstawie bieżących pomiarów stężenia pyłów zawieszonych (PM 1, PM 2.5, PM 10), jak również innych zanieczyszczeń, takich jak dwutlenek siarki (SO2), ozon (O3), formaldehydy, w zależności od zainstalowanych wewnątrz czujników. Aplikacja w formie "otwartej", tj. bez podania kodu PIN, poprzez połączenie Bluetooth, umożliwia odczyt aktualnych pomiarów mierzonych zanieczyszczeń powietrza, ich zapis i udostępnienie. Wprowadzenie dedykowanego kodu PIN dla danego „Eko-Słupka AirSensor”, upoważnia użytkownika do zarządzania ustawieniami urządzenia, m.in. do: zmian trybu sygnalizacji jakości powietrza za pomocą światła, ustawiania koloru i natężenia światła, ustawiania czujnika zmierzchu i reakcji światła LED na bieżące natężenie światła dziennego, ustawiania sposobu komunikacji oraz kalibracji odczytu ciśnienia atmosferycznego.
