MT14-HW | Meraki MT14 Air Quality Sensor

Product Overview

The Meraki MT14-HW is a cloud-managed indoor air quality sensor designed to help businesses, schools, and organizations monitor and improve indoor environmental conditions. As part of the Meraki MT sensor family, it measures multiple variables that impact air quality, including temperature, humidity, noise, particulate matter (PM2.5), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).

Air quality affects productivity, comfort, and long-term health. The MT14 offers a modern solution for quickly detecting and addressing indoor pollutants. With real-time monitoring and smart integrations, the MT14 helps teams maintain safe, efficient spaces. If environmental readings exceed preset thresholds, alerts are triggered automatically so action can be taken before issues escalate.

The MT14 is compact, lightweight, and easy to deploy in high-traffic areas, meeting rooms, classrooms, and server closets. It offers flexible mounting options and can operate on four AA batteries or with an external USB-C power supply. This allows for installations where wiring is limited or not practical.

Its Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity simplifies provisioning. Pairing with compatible Meraki MV smart cameras and MR access points enables MT14 to securely connect and transmit data to the Meraki cloud, where it is displayed and analyzed through the centralized dashboard.

Business Benefits of Deploying the MT14

Deploying the MT14-HW delivers real-time visibility into indoor air quality, helping facilities meet modern expectations for occupant safety and wellness. Alerts for air quality violations are sent via email, SMS, push notifications, or webhooks, allowing for a fast response without constant monitoring.

Facility managers can link sensor data with MV camera footage, providing additional context when issues arise. This capability supports better decisions when troubleshooting or analyzing environmental trends.

In IT-heavy environments, the MT14 helps maintain ideal operating conditions for sensitive equipment. It also supports sustainability goals by optimizing HVAC operations. Businesses benefit from lower energy costs and safer spaces, all without adding workload to lean IT teams.

Integration with Other Meraki Products

The MT14 integrates effortlessly with Meraki MV smart cameras and MR wireless access points, using them as secure gateways to the Meraki cloud. This gateway-based model eliminates the need for direct Wi-Fi or wired connections.

Within the Meraki dashboard, the MT14 sits alongside other Cisco Meraki products, offering a unified view of environmental data, network performance, and security events. You can correlate air quality trends with occupancy levels, network usage, or specific rooms by cross-referencing sensor and camera data.

The Meraki API ecosystem allows MT14 to connect with building automation systems and third-party tools for HVAC control, space utilization, or sustainability reporting.

Licensing for the Meraki MT14

Each Meraki MT14-HW requires a license to function. Stratus Information Systems provides both Enterprise and Advanced licenses, along with expert support to ensure smooth deployment and alignment with your network strategy.

Meraki also offers five free MT licenses for every dashboard organization, allowing businesses to test and start using the platform immediately. Extended licensing plans (1, 3, 5, or 7 years) are available to match long-term operational needs.
