Weather in the house and on the street - how to ensure a healthy microclimate around you?



    Outdoor weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, wind speed, are not very difficult to find out. To do this, you can either enable the appropriate weather application, or at least look at the thermometer and look out the window (of course, you will not recognize the humidity in this way, but the main indicators are quite).

    But what if you want to know more about the conditions in your own home or office? After all, we all know that the concentration of CO and CO2, humidity and temperature, a combination of all these factors greatly affect performance and health. In this case, electronic assistants can come to the rescue, who can provide all the necessary information in a matter of minutes.

    Weather Station Netatmo




    Netatmo has released a versatile device that can measure room temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, atmospheric pressure, noise pollution, and room humidity. If it’s time to ventilate the room, the station will inform you. As you know, it is often necessary to ventilate the premises - this is necessary both to maintain normal health and to work productively for a long time.

    If, for example, there is a large amount of carbon dioxide in the room (which, as we know, is not detected by organoleptic methods - it is transparent and odorless), the person begins to feel not very well, the ability to concentrate disappears, the person quickly gets tired.

    Netatmo Stationtransfers all the data to the mobile device, in the application, where the weather forecast for the entire current region is also displayed. Plus, you can control the station by voice.

    Nest learning thermostat




    Many people know about this thermostat, because the device perfectly controls the microclimate of the room, interacting with some smart devices. According to the developers, the thermostat provides not only a comfortable stay of people in the room, but also energy savings of 20%.

    Nest can control the temperature in the house depending on weather conditions and outdoor temperature changes. At the same time, the thermostat is capable of self-learning, and works in full accordance with the schedule, daily routine and preferences of each family (naturally, Nest can be installed not only in an apartment or house, but also in an office). For example, Nest recognizes that there is no one at home and automatically adjusts the temperature to avoid overheating or cooling the empty house.



    The Nest thermostat works with 95 percent of various heating and cooling systems, including gas, electricity, heat pump, forced air circulation systems, solar and geothermal systems, etc.

    CliMate - the smallest weather station in the world




    The developers claim that this is the smallest weather station in the world, which, while remaining practical. The device can measure air temperature, humidity, as well as the level of ultraviolet radiation. The information transmitted by the station is updated every 15 minutes, while the data is transmitted to the application on the mobile device. The developers equipped the device with a small amount of autonomous memory, so synchronization may not be carried out constantly (after all, this possibility may not exist).

    Features of CliMate:

    • Connection: Bluetooth 4.0
    • Operating temperature: -20 ° C to 65 ° C
    • Resistant to water splashes: IPX4 standard
    • Battery: replaceable round cell battery. One battery lasts up to 6 months under normal use (the back cover opens and the device’s battery is easily replaced)
    • iOS compatibility - devices
    iOS version 6 or later
    iPhone 4S or later
    iPod Touch 5th generation or later
    iPad3 or later (including iPad Mini) Android The device of
    any device with Android 4.3 (or newer), with support for 4.0 the Bluetooth
    • Color: yellow, red, white, blue, gray.

    Here , Medgadgets reviewed the capabilities of the device, including unpacking and testing.

    By the way, now the Rooti Labs CliMate weather station has appeared on sale, and its cost can hardly be called high.

    Carbon Dioxide Detector Master KIT





    Easy to use and very effective device that performs its functions perfectly - it determines the level of CO2 concentration in the air, plus it determines the air temperature in the room.

    Thanks to this device, you can always know what is the state of the air in the room. Moreover, the MT8057 detector can be installed in absolutely different places: kindergartens, work offices, schools, etc. The device instantly reacts to the slightest change in the concentration of carbon dioxide, warns of an increase or decrease in temperature. As a result, you can always adjust in time with additional ventilation, turning on the air conditioner.

    Withings WS-50




    In general, this device is positioned, but in fact the device is more functional. The developer positions this device as a body analyzer. Scales not only measure the weight of the owner’s body, but also know how to determine the pulse and even monitor the air quality in the room, with an assessment of the ambient temperature and the concentration of carbon dioxide.

    Measurement data is transmitted via the Wi-Fi wireless module to the “cloud” and the application on the mobile phone. In the “cloud”, a detailed analysis of measurements is carried out, with the output of the analysis in a convenient form for understanding. It is worth noting that third-party applications also release scales. By the way, Withings WS-50 also has a Bluetooth module, which is used to configure the device.

    Nest protect





    And this is a smart smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector. The manufacturer of the device is Nest - the same company that produces the smart thermostat. One of the advantages of the system is that it can determine the concentration of carbon monoxide (carbon monoxide). Carbon monoxide is much more dangerous than carbon dioxide, because it actively reacts with hemoglobin of the blood, leading to blocking the supply of oxygen to the body.

    In addition, the device can determine humidity. The following modules are inside the detector:
    • photoelectric smoke detector
    • carbon monoxide sensor
    • thermal sensor
    • three fault detection sensors
    • ambient light sensor
    • humidity sensor


    Like all the devices described above, Nest Protect transfers all data wirelessly to a mobile device.

    TZOA




    The miniature device, called TZOA, can be considered a personal station for determining air quality. The developers equipped the station with several sensors (including a carbon dioxide sensor and a UV radiation sensor) that help the user understand how “healthy” air can be considered inside or outside the room.

    A personal station is useful to everyone - from office workers to athletes who hardly want to ride bicycles or run in places where the air is polluted by exhausts. Instead of a “dose of health" in such a place you can get only a negative effect on your body.

    TZOA, in addition to determining air quality, can also give tips that help either tidy up the environment around you (if it’s about the room), or just move to another place (if it’s about walking along the street).
