INKBIRD was established in 2010 as a high-tech company focused on intelligent environmental control. The company’s original mission was to make precise temperature and humidity management affordable and accessible for home users.

The name “INKBIRD” combines two concepts:

• “INK” represents the ink used by traditional quill pens, symbolizing knowledge, recording, and innovation.

According to the company, these ideas reflect its commitment to continuous innovation in smart IoT technology. [2]
