COMP Odour Survey vs Dräger X

The information collected is anonymous and will be used for research purposes only. The Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA) monitors air quality in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB). The WBEA is asking the public to participate in its Community Odour Monitoring Program (COMP), which seeks to gain a better understanding on how odour events in the region relate to our ambient air quality. The information you provide will populate a database that will be compared to the data collected at our ambient air monitoring stations throughout the RMWB. If you would like to make a complaint to the Alberta Government about an odour you are experiencing, please call their 24-hour Energy & Environmental Response Line at 1-800-222-6514. Stay informed about COMP and other WBEA work at www.wbea.org

The Dräger X-node is a wireless gas detector that can be connected to a LoRa network. Using this app, the following functions can be configured or executed on the X-node: - Display of the current gas value - Display of the current temperature, relative humidity and air pressure - Configuration of alarm limits, flashing patterns, flashing intervals - Viewing sensor and device information - Viewing and configuration of LoRa settings - Firmware update - Zero and sensitivity adjustment - Logger: recording and display of measured values for the last 7 days To use the Dräger X-node app, a Bluetooth connection must first be established with a Dräger X-node device. The current measured values for the concentration of the measured gas, the relative humidity, the temperature and the air pressure are displayed in an overview. Alarm limits can be set in the app. In addition, the user can set at which gas concentration the status LED lights up green, yellow or red. Furthermore, the blinking pattern as well as the time interval in which limit violations are visualized by the status LED can be set. The app displays the date of the last adjustment. The app can be used to adjust the sensor in the X-node. The app can also be used to update the firmware. Not only can information about the LoRa connection be displayed via the app, but the parameters for a LoRa connection can also be configured. Overall, the X-node app is a tool for checking and adjusting the function of the X-node device and integrating it optimally into the IoT landscape.
