Summary

Is there anything more important in your home than the air you breathe?



ArcTouch helped 3M create the Filtrete Smart app and Alexa skill, a revolutionary air quality monitoring system that uses Bluetooth® technology to measure and analyze real-time airflow and HVAC filter usage, to ensure a healthier home.

The product won Gear Patrol’s “Best in Home” at CES in 2018.

Connect the app to your smart filter

The Filtrete Smart air filters include a built-in Bluetooth sensor to send air quality data to the iOS or Android app on your phone.

Receive smart notifications

Receive proactive notifications when it’s time to change your filter based on actual usage -- not some arbitrary time limit.

Easily replace your filter

The app makes it easy to order replacement filters from leading online retailers. You can set up auto-replenishment through Amazon Dash, so new filters arrive on-demand, exactly when you need them.
