Nice job, sleepy head!! I see you already got the Apollo Air-1 input. Will be interesting to see a detailed comparison with the Airlytric ES1 (sold out). Same ESPHome controller with many of the same functions. But interesting to see what sensors are used on the Airlytric. Airlytric is out of the UK and Apollo out of Kentucky, US. Both couple of people startups.Wish them both success.
The price you show on the Aranet 4 is incorrect. It should be $168. Actually, Inkbird, a more familiar brand, has an almost identical unit for $150 (the price the Aranet 4 was originally!!)
I've been using the Awaire Element. It works immediately with Home Assistant without special drivers. Seems pricey, but since it was used for a while in some crypto computing thing, tons of people have been selling them used on eBay for $99 or less. Sensors are commercial quality rather than consumer/basic level.
@smarthomesolver , I have the govee air quality monitor and it’s linked to my govee air purifier, I have it set whenever pm2.5 reaches x amount it turns on high speed until the air quality is set to the range I set , I have 4 of these in my home one is in the dining room area so whenever I cook/fry it goes on the highest speed until the air quality is ok .
Good thing God designed your body and your lungs and your system to deal with all that. 😂😂
Nice video Reed! This is a more unique sensor type.
Thanks Reed. I need to go and put on a mask now. 😬
Ali is my people!! Dark toast!!!
Definitely get a carbon monoxide detector, especially if you have a gas heater in your home.
This video sponsored by Panasonic or FM for short. Fear Mongering.
if you have a basement, you have radon. when you break ground you release radon.
My Dyson air purifier has taught me how bad the air can be, has the PM sensor etc. When you cook smoky stuff you can just see those numbers go through the roof. I was at a house the other day and they had some sort of whole house fresh air exchanger thing in the basement, that might be the way to go.
First
what if im just incompetent and thats why I cant focus.
What light bulb do you have in the ikea sonos speaker lamp?
I have the IKEA sensor in all rooms
I like the e ink sensor but why not leave the fan on low? Does that not help? Not trying to be rude a serious question.
Ecobee doesn't measure CO2, it approximates it (you can look it up in their docs). And in my experience, it does this poorly. Get yourself an Apollo Air1. Huge miss that it wasn't even reviewed in this video as it's way better than any of the others mentioned.
You really need some curtains on those giant windows
No reason to use these. We always sleep with a fan on. And the 3 story house demands the air conditioner blower to always be on.
How much is AirGradiants cost after 1/2 years? You only get access to the data for so long then you have to pay?
Crazy guy, 200$
Unfortunately AirGradient indoor has no CO sensor: carbon monoxide is the most dangerous gas we can have at home 🙁
The public health nerd in me is in love with this–thanks for sharing! Air quality is so important.
Is it a good idea to keep a 3D printer outside?
looks like ventilation in your house is shit based on your automation 🙁
Dude I’ve been telling people this for years!! My friends and work colleagues just shrug it off and think I’m special. 😂 Then when I show them my Airthings data from BEFORE & AFTER my ERV install they know I’m
Telling the truth!! Also, I automated my ERV with one of those Aqara Relays and it worked perfectly! 😁
I agree with the wife my friend – anything lighter than that isn't actuality toast 😂
