About

AirBird®

Features
Read full description

The AirBird® can quickly detect poor indoor air quality with its clever chirp algorithm and helps you take necessary action. It measures CO2, Temperature and Humidity every few minutes to look for patterns. It can give feedback via gentle bird sounds in the Sound Mode or via soft glow in the Light Mode to prompt you to adjust ventilation, heating or cooling. This app allows you to view the AirBird® device data in realtime and get historic data via a paired gateway.
