AurAir Launched!!!

[LisaM]

AurAir https://www.aurair.eu/ (our air) is the new startup, which will be making a hardware/software product for measuring indoor air quality. We’ll be working together with the LetsControlIt team to embed AurAir in the (new) LetsControlIt network.

We’ll launch our new product in a KickStarter campagne, starting from 22-feb-2019 (one week delayed due to preparations).

Every day until the 22nd i’ll be revealing a little bit of the functionality of the AurAir, the name of our product.

Features are:

• Easy to install: Just plug the AurAir meter into any power socket and it works. You can still use the socket for other electrical devices.

• Cloud support: Sending your measured values to the (Azure) cloud

• 1.8inch TFT Screen: Full colour RGB 1.8inch TFT screen (160x128 pixels)

• 3 Buttons: 3 Buttons for control purposes

• WiFi AP mode: Use WiFi to connect to your AurAir and view the air quality

• CO2 sensor: Measuring CO2 levels

• Temp/Hum/Pres sensor: Measuring Temperature, Humidity and Pressure

• OTA: Update your firmware using OTA!

• Rotation sensitive: Knowing which way is up

Senseair sensor? Bosch BME680?

Senseair sensor? Bosch BME680?

We’re considering several sensors for the production version, why would you like to use these two?

[fluppie]

I just think the BME680 is a very good sensor. Had some issues with RH measurements of chinese/aliexpress (fake?) BME280 sensors. Then bought from Pimoroni some BME680 breakouts.
The RH measurements are good, tested 3 of them in a glass with salt/water solution. They quickly ramp up close to 75% RH (as expected). Also after days in the closed salty environment, they quickly re-adapt to ambient specs.
BME680 is sensitive for different VOC's and the Senseair S8 gives us an absolute PPM value of CO2 in the room. So I think both in one device could be an excellent combo?

Everything did not work out as planned, that's life. That doesn't mean we give up, it just means we are currently exploring a different way of selling our goods.

Cheers,

Lisa

No dust sensor? What? Why?
