Thanks tomhow! The idea for building the Air Lab simulator was very much inspired by the feedback I got from you. Here is a bit of background for the other readers: I reached out t…

Dear HN community, thank you for the great feedback on my project! All comments, from honest remarks on the price to personal anecdotes on handling air quality issues, will help me…

We'll definitely look into supporting Matter in the future, as it would allow integration with the most common home automation platforms/apps out there.

We love indoorco2map.com and would be happy to ensure that data from the Air Lab can be exported to it! We plan to expose simple BLE characteristics for all sensor values (similar …

You can easily hook a PM sensor like the SEN54 to the extension port at the back. We're also thinking about offering an "upgrade kit" to match the design.

As the sibling commenter pointed out correctly, there is no PM sensor built-in at the moment. However, we added an extension port at the back that allows connecting PM sensors like…

Thanks! The SCD30 is a great sensor and obviously better than the SCD41. But we did not look at it in more detail, as we chose the SCD41 primarily for its small size. We believe th…

Uff, that's hard! I'm sorry to hear that. What projects is yours?

We have not tested this properly (see my other comment on lab testing), but so far we have observed no effect during normal operation and only saw a slight increase when charging t…

I'm curious, what's the range/variability you're seeing?

Thanks and good question! We have planned to do a proper lab test soon. The Swiss Federal Office for the Environment is a project partner and has such equipment. During the design …

We're always looking for beta testers and would be happy to send you a device. Find your contact details here: https://networkedartifacts.com/about

Thanks! AirGradient is great! They do a very good job and served as an inspiration to us! On CO2-Sensor Accuracy: Based on AirGradients own research[1], the SCD41 (which Air Lab us…

Not yet. Unfortunately, these are usually quite big, and we didn't want to sacrifice the portability. But you can add a PM sensor through the extension port. We'll document this in…

This has been very tricky to navigate for us. We almost launched the campaign right before the Tariffs got announced. Luckily, we had the opportunity to wait it out. While CrowdSup…

Good catch! Unfortunately, we realized a bit too late that we flipped the standard console layout (e.g. Game Boy). Luckily, most people that notice get used to it quickly.

Thanks for the feedback that I can totally understand! We hoped to offer the product at a lower price, but as I mentioned in other replies, it's hard to be competitive when plannin…

OP is probably comparing the ESP32 to a NRF chip. These offer Bluetooth connectivity while running from a coin cell with We mainly went with an ESP32 because of the great SDK and s…

I have written a bit about the process here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/networked-artifacts/air-lab/upda... . TLDR: It compiles the stock firmware to WASM using emscripten. Thus, …

Sorry to hear that! I'm happy to investigate if you let me know your browser/platform.

Thanks! Our engineer invested a lot of time to get the feeling just perfect! :-)

We added many components that are not strictly needed to measure air quality but make the device an interesting platform for custom projects. Also, the enclosure is more premium, b…

Thanks! As other commenters suggested, there is a screen saver (after 30s idle) that shows all values (horizontal and vertical) at a glance. The layout is not final yet and somethi…

Thank you! Yes, that's something we'd like to prototype soon for supporting multiple rooms/locations. Integrating with other dashboards including TRMNL would be awesome too.
