Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor (Newest gen) | Know your air, Works with Alexa

I find the feedback that the air quality monitor gives me is invaluable. For example we have discovered we have a damp problem in one room based on the readings that the air quality monitor is giving me. We can therefore ensure that we have windows open on a more regular basis and use our dehumidifier to rectify the problem.I also like the feedback on VOCs, for example when we are using paint or white spirit to wash the brushes, the feedback is invaluable and we can ensure that we have adequate ventilation in those rooms.I like the fact you can move it around to each room of the house and get readings from each room such as monitoring temperature.

The media could not be loaded. As an air quality monitor you get a very robust and accurate device. I have a number of temperature, humidity and particulate matter sensors that all verify the live data from the Amazon air quality monitor. Which also monitors carbon monoxide levels as well as volatile organic compounds.The device is elegant , none obtrusive in its design , and easily blends into the decor of the house. I like the indicator led which gives you a quick visual indication of the quality of the air. With green for good, orange for moderate, and red for bad.Setting up is relatively simple. Amazon gives you the option to have your air monitor preconfigured to you Alexa account - when purchasing the device, - however the Alexa app was still very quick at picking up the air quality monitor as a new device once it was plugged in, and powered on.once setup the device will calibrate for approximately 7 minutes before it’s ready to use.The live data is very insightful, and help me better understand the quality of the air in the house, and write Alexa routines for integrated smart devices like humidifiers, air purifiers, and thermostats should I choose to.The interface within the Alexa app however is unintuitive, cumbersome and doesn’t do the device the justice it deserves. There is no fluidity within the telemetry and you find yourself jumping between taps to find the data you require. There is also no co2 monitoring, the designers missed a trick there. Hopefully it’ll be added to the next model.In all? It’s a pretty decent and robust product, and a steal at the Black Friday price.

Bought on Prime deal day so a huge saving. Five stars works great with Alexa/Echo and provides great information but sorry Amazon not worth the full £70 asking price but worth the offer price.May also wish to note not to start and calibrate during extremes of heat and cold even though they are in the parameters of the device, it needed a bit more settling and the red light can be annoying if no actual problem when the green light can be turned off. I want my data online not from an LED!Need to know air quality get one but wait for an offer.

I love these units. They give that extra peace of mind for CO monitoring as well as the other parameters VOC and PM measured. Knowing the quality of the air you are breathing with particulate matter (PM) and linking it up to a connected air filter and dehumidifier units really starts to control your own environment. Great design. Minimalistic. Also measures humidity and temperature to help set up routines with your other connected devices.

Where this clearly works well and is very good for its price range in my opinion its not been well implemented at all:CONS-No auditory Alarm built in-no easy access to Dash board - only access is through several menus.-Cannot add device to home screen-Cannot view dashboard in ECHO show easily*-Only one command works right now "whats my indoor air quality"-no real routines yet-device is white, power cable is black, doh.....-support is non existent, they actually told me to google it when I logged a support call, the manual is useless.PROs-cheap for what it is-looks great and is compact-can turn LED off-has tripod mount thread-seems to be very accurate, great for homes with woodburners.I'm hoping they deal with all the CONs soon, its quite new but it should not have been released with some of these issues.

Carbon Monoxide alarms usually go for £20+ and only alert the end-user via beeps; but this device is really handy. The device will inform you if there is anything toxic in the atmosphere.Plus, I have this linked to my Echo Show, so if the Carbon Monoxide gets to a dangerous level then it will report this immediately; I have it set to read out a customised automated message.Custom Message for when CO level is above 5 ppm: "Warning! Carbon Monoxide levels have reached above 11 ppm. Open Windows to ventilate the room. Any reading above 5 ppm is harmful"Custom Message when CO level reaches 10 ppm: "Warning! Consider Calling 999 as the Carbon Monoxide levels have reached well beyond the safe household limit. Please open the Windows to ventilate the room. This is the final warning you will receive!"The readings from this device are also very accurate; yet all of you must remember like it's stated in the description, that this is not a replacement to Carbon Monoxide alarm and should not bought for this reason.The only downside to this device I can think of is the lack of integration with Alexa as you have to be very specific if you display the air quality report on any Amazon Device (i.e. Fire TV Stick and Echo Show) and even then it will only read out the overall air quality rating which is not really useful; the device is only really let down by this.
