Alexa can now monitor your home’s air quality for a price of $70. This new service is available through Amazon, and it allows you to see the air quality in your area on a map. You can also set up alerts to be sent when specific pollutants are present, and you can even control the amount of air pollution that is allowed into your home. The service is free to use, and it will provide you with information about the air quality in your area as well as how much pollution there is.
The new device can monitor the air in your home for various forms of particulate matter. It’ll sift through the air for carbon monoxide, dust, and volatile organic compounds. It won’t actually clean the air for you, so you’ll need to open a window, run a fan, or get an air purifier if you want to actually change the current state of the air in your house. It’s nice to know whether you need to take those steps based on the actual air you’re breathing.
In addition, the device will keep track of humidity and temperature in your house, giving you a little more information about your home.
In addition to the current air situation, it’ll also show you trends over time, so you can see whether you’re actually making improvements to your home’s air, staying the same, or even getting worse.
The new Smart Air Quality Monitor is available for pre-order today, November 3, 2021. It’s scheduled to ship on December 8, 2021.
