I have recently joined HA, having moved from Hubitat. As I began my journey on HA, I started to realize how powerful HA is and all the cool things people were doing with it. One thing that caught my attention was Air quality sensors. My teenage son spends most of his time in his room working on projects and has often complained of being tired. As I started to read about Air quality sensors, I was intrigued about everything these devices could measure and how they can make us aware of the air quality around us. So I did some research and ended up buying the Apollo Air 1. Setup was easy and they even shared a blueprint dashboard with me. It took me all of 5 minutes to show my son the levels of carbon dioxide in his room. That in turn has allowed us to make some changes to contain the levels of CO2 in his room. It’s too early to tell if this will fix his tiredness and headaches, but it’s proved to be a simple yet powerful automation that can truly be life changing. I have always thought of automation to be more focused on convenience, but this one is greater than that. It also has a high Wife Approval Factor :) I also want to give a shoutout to Apollo the company. I knew very little about air quality sensors. They guided me through the process and also shared the blueprint so I could be up and running quickly. A big thank you to this community as well for posting such great ideas here!!
