    measures relative humidity

    What is it relative to?

    • +2

      It's all relative

      • +1

        To what?

        • +5

          Relative humidity, often expressed as a percentage, indicates a present state of absolute humidity relative to a maximum humidity given the same temperature.

          Maximum humidity occurs when environment is fully saturated with water vapour and depends on temperature and pressure. Unlike common misconception, 100% humidity does not mean that environment is under water. It means the air is fully saturated and no more water can be evaporated in the environment.

  • What in gods name is going on in peoples homes that you need to be monitoring the CO2 levels?

    • Doesn't have to be in your home, that's why these CO2 monitors are portable.

    • +5

      If we forget to leave a window slightly ajar, CO2 levels go over 1000ppm within an hour; when more than 4 people are at home, the increase noticeably exponential. If we forget to leave the kids' room doors ajar and they forget to open a window, CO2 levels peak at around 2500ppm overnight.

    • Don't sleep with a closed door if you have gas heating. The co2 can starve tour brain and make you drowzy or much worse.

    You can build high accurate one with MH-Z19B non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor, $30 in AliExpress
    BME680 has higher accuracy for temperature, humidity, pressure etc and dev board costs $5

    install both of these inside $19 IKEA Vindriktning PM2.5 sensor with $5 ESP + Tasmota, you can monitor everything from WiFi (can be connected to Homeassistant as well). Total cost $60

      Lost me at soldering.

    But does it work with HOOOOOMMMEEE ASSSSISTAAAANT?

  • I borrowed my sisters SAF Aranet4 and it's very sensitive to the change in CO2.
    If I had it in my car with the windows up then the CO2 levels would gradually increase, when I opened the windows the CO2 levels would drop dramatically.
    I can't vouch for it's accuracy but it's sensitivity to CO2 changes were spot on.

    Pity no CO or PM values for the price.

    How is this an "air quality monitor", when it doesn't measure it? No particulates or other gases etc. CO2 is hardly air quality.

    • Exactly. CO2 plays a part in IAQ but there is a lot more than just CO2

    I got a Inkbird IAM-T1 a few months ago. The lesson I learned was to keep the window slightly open and the ppm generally averages out at around 750-800ppm for me. With my door completely open, it drops to around 400 ppm. A weird phenomenon I noticed a while back was that at night, the average ppm increases and sometimes my room goes over 1k ppm even with my window open. I have to open my door to get it back down. Makes me wonder diffusion isn't working at my windows.

    • From personal experience, using and owning both the Aranet 4 and Inkbird IAM-T1, I have noticed that even with the window or slightly open, if there is no wind that day at night, then the ppm would generally go much higher, around 900-1000ppm as well, whereas when there's wind outside, the room stays around 500-600 max. If the window is closed with wind outside, it goes between 700-800 ppm for me.

      • When there is no wind you can run a fan or the bathroom extractor to help lower the PPM. I find it's good to open around lunchtime/afternoon with the fans on to reduce the PPM and humidity. But I guess it also depends on PM2.5/smoke pollution which is getting worse from planned burns/woodfire smoke.

        • Oh nice, thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try! I didn't think the bathroom fan would have such an effect, but good tip! Thank you

  • These two also monitor CO2 for less than half price, but they need to be plugged in. The second one also works with HomeKit.
