Details
The Air Quality Bricklet can measure
- IAQ (indoor air quality) index,
- Air pressure in hPa,
- Humidity in %RH and
- Temperature in °C.
The IAQ index is a measurement for the quality of air. To calculate the IAQ index the Bricklet detects ethane, isoprene (2-methylbuta-1,3-diene), ethanol, acetone and carbon monoxide (often called VOC, volatile organic components) by adsorption. These gas measurements are combined with the measurements of air pressure, humidity and temperature to calculate the final IAQ index.
The IAQ index has a range of 0-500:

Typical applications for this Bricklet are the monitoring of air quality, environmental statistics, home automation and similar.
The Air Quality Bricklet has a 7 pole Bricklet connector and is connected to a Brick with a 7p-10p Bricklet cable.
