air-Q

The air-Q is a hardware air quality monitor that tracks over 20 different parameters in the air around you. It measures particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, radon, volatile organic compounds, humidity, temperature, noise, light, and more. The device gives you a live readout of what's in your breathing air, so you know when CO2 levels are getting high in a meeting room or if fine dust from outside is creeping in. It's a straightforward sensor—no AI, no fancy processing—just accurate, real-time data.

The air-Q connects to a smartphone app and a web app where you can see all your measurements as graphs and tables. You can set up push notifications or email alerts for when certain levels get dangerous (like carbon monoxide or smoke). It also integrates with smart home systems like Homematic, openHAB, Alexa, and Google Home, so you can automate ventilation or air purifiers based on the readings. The device calculates a health and productivity index based on official guidelines, which is a simple way to see if your room needs fresher air.

This tool is best for anyone who wants to understand and improve their indoor air quality. Homeowners can use it to spot mold risks, office managers can keep meeting rooms ventilated, and health-conscious people can track pollutants from cooking or traffic. It's also useful as a safety device—it can sound an alarm for high CO or methane. If you care about the air you breathe and want hard numbers, the air-Q gives you the facts without any fluff.
