ooo cool! I've been wanting to take one of my little homemade raspberry pi weather stations to measure the air quality and CO2 on my commute into London. Need to get a USB battery for it 😀 I imagine the CO2 levels on the underground are elevated.
@Charlotte I got an Aranet 4 since a number of people have had good experiences with them. Battery life is supposed to be pretty good as the display is eink.
My ideal would be a wearable thing that did the measuring and sending to a phone, possibly a pendant that changed colour according to the reading? Challenge is probably power miniaturisation
@sparrowsion I think any NDIR COâ‚‚ meter inherently has to measure temperature/humidity/pressure as part of making sense of the IR measurement; but yes I've found the Aranet4's logging of non-COâ‚‚ handy. (Without the phone app; there's good-enough open source code to get at the log.)
