Waiting for Achim Haug of AirGradient! What’s your thoughts on this?
We actually have a sample of the Bosch in our office but haven’t come along to test it yet. Maybe with this call, I will get our team onto it.
The form factor has pros and cons in my opinion. The size and lower energy consumption definitely opens new applications but the problem is that it needs a clear field of view to do the measurements.
This could in turn restrict the applicability, eg as a wearable sensor.
In general I think it’s great to see innovations in the PM sensor field but often minimizations go on costs of accuracy.
We saw that for example with the Sensirion photo acoustic CO2 SCD4x sensor that is tiny but needs more black box algorithms to compensate for certain environmental conditions that then limits the range of applications.
I've been messing around with air quality measurement for a while but haven't got anything for the day to day yet.
Been a long time admirer of the Airgradient project. What are your thoughts on the SEN5x Vs Plantower PM sensors?
It might be better than the Plantower but on the other hand we know the Plantower really well now after 10s of thousands of units going through our test chamber. This allows us to tweak the Plantower to really good performance.
I bought a 10-in-1 air quality sensor with USB-C, and it won't do USB-C PD.
Batteries for when the power is out make sense.
Which air quality sensor integrates the most sensors of all?
