Faber Cloud is the exclusive App to monitor air quality in your kitchen and to manage the hood remotely, with simple and intuitive functions. Faber Cloud works together with Faber Air Treatment products, a full range of vertical, ceiling, T-shape and built-in hoods. All hoods in the Air Treatment by Faber range fit an Air Quality Sensor. This innovative device monitors the air and activates suction if it detects the presence of allergens, pollutants or odours. Air Quality Sensor keeps the temperature, the percentage of humidity and the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOC) under control in the domestic environment. The sensor activates the hood as soon as pollution thresholds are exceeded, primarily in the space where you cook. By storing data on the Faber Cloud, you can monitor the air quality at home at any time, even remotely. The top Air Treatment range model is K-Air, a smart vertical hood with a built-in 21” monitor that can be controlled directly via the touchscreen or the app. Thanks to the exclusive functions of Faber Air Treatment range and Faber Cloud app you can: - Automatically free interiors of odours and pollutants, thanks to the exclusive Air Quality Sensor - Monitor humidity, temperature and air quality in your home environment - Have full access to air quality info from everywhere - Manage your hood remotely
