Vaping in UK secondary schools is a growing concern, and maintaining healthy indoor air quality has never been more important. The Meraki MT15 IoT sensor monitors CO2 levels and multiple environmental metrics to create a safer, healthier environment for students, staff, and employees. By integrating with the Meraki cloud-managed ecosystem, the MT15 reduces vaping, tracks air quality, and monitors critical environmental conditions in real time.
The Meraki MT15 is designed for continuous monitoring of CO2 levels, temperature, humidity, particulate matter (PM2.5), TVOC (total volatile organic compounds), and ambient noise. This multi-sensor approach provides a complete view of indoor air quality, enabling proactive interventions and better management of your environment.
Its versatility makes it suitable for:
Schools and classrooms – ensuring optimal air quality for students
Offices and meeting rooms – improving employee productivity and comfort
Healthcare and sensitive facilities – maintaining safe and monitored indoor conditions
Multi-metric monitoring: Tracks CO2, PM2.5 (vape particles), TVOC, temperature, humidity, and noise
Real-time data and alerts: Configurable notifications for threshold violations
LED indicator ring: Visual feedback on air quality status
Flexible power options: USB-C, PoE, and battery backup
Tamper-resistant design: Ideal for schools and sensitive environments
By continuously monitoring air quality metrics, the MT15 helps:
Reduce CO2 build-up
Minimise vaping in school premises
Improve focus and performance in classrooms
Promote employee well-being in office spaces
The MT15 transmits real-time data to Meraki gateways every 20 minutes or immediately when thresholds are exceeded. Alerts allow organisations to:
Take immediate corrective action
Reduce unnecessary site visits
Minimise equipment failures
Save time and resources
Through the Meraki dashboard, administrators can:
Access real-time environmental data from multiple sensors
Monitor and manage devices from a single interface
Configure alerts via SMS or email
Integrate seamlessly with other Meraki devices for unified operations
The MT15 uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to connect to Meraki gateways, including MR access points and MV cameras. This ensures:
Reliable wireless communication
Efficient data transmission to the cloud
Centralised management for both environmental and network monitoring
Flexible installation options allow mounting on walls or ceilings, with PoE or USB-C power options and battery backup to ensure continuous operation.
