Frequently asked questions
Cannot find yours? Ask us in the form below.
Do Living Nodes need a grid connection?
No. Every Living Node is 100% off-grid. Solar panels charge a LiFePO4 battery, so there is no trenching, no DISCOM approval and no electricity bill. The EV variant can optionally assist from the grid when the battery drops below 30%.
How long does installation take?
A Living Bench is bolted to concrete and switched on the same day. There is no digging and no cable laying.
Which Living Bench variant should I choose?
Choose v1.0 Base for parks and campuses, v2.0 EV for transit hubs, resorts, petrol pumps and airports, v3.0 AI for smart-city parks and IT parks, and v3.0 Pro Max when you need both EV charging and AI sensing.
Does the AI camera store faces?
No. Computer vision runs on the device and counts footfall and seat occupancy without storing facial data. Only anonymous counts and sensor readings are sent to the dashboard.
What data does the v3.0 node report?
PM2.5, PM10, temperature, humidity, noise level, CO₂, footfall and seat occupancy. It syncs into the ViSE Metrix dashboard and the Helix twin backbone, and can feed a city command and control centre.
Are the umbrellas safe for street vendors?
Yes. The umbrella runs on 12V DC, well inside the safety extra-low voltage range, uses a LiFePO4 battery with a built-in BMS, and has a wind-vent flap at the apex to reduce uplift in gusts.
Where are Living Nodes made?
They are designed and manufactured in India by iViRTH, a DPIIT-recognised startup, with manufacturing in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Can I get a pilot installation?
Yes. Send a request through the form below with your location and use case, and the iViRTH team will recommend a variant and a pilot plan.
