How to use your Laser Egg with Kaiterra's Live Air app

The Kaiterra app is designed to enhance your experience with your Laser Egg by customizing settings, viewing real-time air quality readings, and accessing historical trends.

You can also set, manage, and receive notifications for when pollution levels spike. The Kaiterra app connects you to hundreds of air quality stations around the world for live pollution data.

Once your Laser Egg is connected to your app, you’ll have access to the following sections (click to jump to the section):

Overview

On the app's home screen, you can scroll through your saved air quality stations and find your local AQI values, no matter where you are in the world. You can also access your Laser Egg's real-time air quality readings from the home screen. Compare your indoor and outdoor air quality, and see if your pollution-fighting efforts are effective.
