I felt like the humidifier on my furnace wasnt working properly, so I did some research, bought a maintenance kit, and tried fixing it up tonight.

Thanks to #homeassistant and #airgradient I have some nice data to confirm I've made things considersbky better!

I've come to the conclusion that the front bedroom was not designed to hold two lifeforms. This is only 30 minutes of them sleeping with the door closed. My routine now after setting up the air quality monitors is to wait for all the kids to be asleep, then open up the doors. This is with their wall vents already open 24/7.

Here’s a sneak peek of a video that the Local Haze team is working on — showing how to assemble your own AirGradient Ltd. outdoor air quality monitor! The full video will be ready soon. Follow Local Haze to be notified when the video is released. #DIY #AirQuality #AirGradient
One of four #airgradient ONEs built. Crazy simple assembly. Not sure where in each room to mount these yet. Maybe not too near any air flow or human, I guess? And then I need to create a k8s manifest for #homeassistant, but that should be simple.

AirGradient joins Works with Home Assistant

They bring indoor and outdoor air quality monitors to the program.

Never mind the outdoor air quality, indoors my AirGradient ONE is hitting sustained highs in the 65-85 PM2.5 (ug/m^3) today. Highest by far in over a year!

Indoor Air Quality Monitor - The #AirGradient ONE (Model I-9PSL) is an indoor air quality monitor enabling you to know if the air quality is healthy or not. It measures PM2.5, CO2, TVOCs, NOX, Temperature and Humidity and has a built-in color LED bar and small display.

It’s fully #opensource and customizable, so you can extend it in whatever way …

Indoor Air Quality Monitor

Open-source / open-hardware low cost indoor air quality monitor measuring CO<sub>2</sub>, PM<sub>2.5</sub>, TVOCs, NO<sub>X</sub>, Humidity and Temperature.

I’m trying to make a mobile #AirQuality monitor. I’m going to make my #RaspberryPi a hotspot and connect my #AirGradient monitor. Thoughts on if I should just use #prometheus to collect the data or write my own #Python? I’ll post-process the AQ and #GPS data later in #R.

Installed an #airgradient air quality monitor in my basement home office last week, and the CO2 levels are worryingly high (it was at 2200 ppm yesterday morning). Yesterday I kept all basement windows open throughout the day and it got down to a "safe" level, but as soon as I closed the windows it got back up to the 1800s, even with nobody in the basement during the night. Considering installing a Heat Recovery Ventilator in the house…

- The apartment ventilation can be scheduled through the thermostat
- The ventilation doesn't seem to have significant benefits for reducing CO2 or maintaining humidity, but it could be worth continuing to experiment
- Experiments will continue in about a week, because I'm going to have some inconsistency the next few days

Future experiments:
- Run humidifier overnight with the ventilation on
- Open the window with the ventilation on to see how fast CO2 and humidity might be lost (is it more effective to leave the window open for long periods to reduce CO2 or for shorter periods with the vent, in order to maintain humidity)

I'm not as focused on temperature data but here it is in case you want it. You can see that the night with the vent lost heat faster.
