Ensure high comfort with the Air Quality Sensor
We spend much time indoors, whether it’s at home or at the office, and it’s very important to keep the air quality at an excellent level both for health and productivity reasons. Usually, one of the biggest perpetrators of bad air quality is VOC – Volatile Organic Compound, which are organic chemicals often used in paints, varnishes, wax, cleaning detergents, cosmetics, or are even produced by plants and our own bodies.
When saturated, even seemingly harmless things like dead skin cells, sweat, and perfume molecules can make the air harmful to our wellbeing. Even if we regularly air out our spaces, sometimes it’s difficult to keep track of these tiny particles and avoid short- and long-term health effects.
Keep a sharp eye on the air quality at home
No need to fret, though. The volatile particles may be too small for our eyes to see, but they can’t hide from the friently Air Quality Sensor. This Zigbee-based frient is an indoor air quality expert who checks the organic compound measurements every 30 seconds.
It notifies you if the VOC levels become too high so you can, for example, open a window and bring them back to normal. It’s so easy to mount. Just stick it to a wall, connect it to your smart home hub, and you’re good to go.
Don’t let VOC particles ruin your new beginnings
If you’ve just renovated your home or moved to a newly constructed building, there is a very high possibility the abundance of new materials is generating more VOC. This can cause nausea or allergic reactions.
By having the super-smart Air Quality Sensor monitoring the indoor environment for you, you can enjoy the new beginnings to the fullest and spend your time making the place feel homey, rather than worry about your breathing.
More than just a VOC monitor
Oftentimes we are so immersed in what we’re doing that we only notice the air is too stuffy through a budding headache. With the Air Quality Sensor, you’ll be notified if the humidity and temperature levels have changed before any physical ache can take place. And who knows, maybe the reminder to open the window was exactly the mental break you needed to reset and refocus.
Even better, you can automate your home to self-regulate the humidity levels by using Smart Plug Minis to connect the fan and humidifier. In this way, if you or a loved one have asthma, you can make sure their comfort is never disturbed by trapped pollen, dust, or mold.
The Air Quality Sensor works with Homey, SmartThings and OK Google, so you can go right on and introduce it to your smart home environment.
