Airgeek at Home

Breathe better with the Airgeek app

Airgeek performs hundreds of measurements per day to track air quality indicators such as CO₂ and NO₂ concentration, temperature and relative humidity. It also performs several high-accuracy PM_X measurements per day. This helps you understand how your air quality changes over time.

Our mobile app, which is completely and forever free, allows you to analyze the data and understand trends over days, weeks and months. It provides you with guidance tailored to your specific needs, helping you improve the average quality of your air at home.

The consequences of asthma and allergies

Reduce asthma triggers and allergies

Airgeek monitors many indicators which are associated with worsening of asthma and allergies, such as particulate matter pollution or relative humidity that is too low or too high.

If you're asthmatic or suffer allergies, you might want to prioritize work on these parameters. Our app shows the daily trends and suggests what can be done to make your air better long-term.

Please talk to your doctor before buying to understand how Airgeek can help you manage your condition. Airgeek is not a medical device and cannot substitute expert care.

Protect your kids

Infants and kids are more vulnerable to indoor air pollution than adults. Studies have shown that NO₂ exposure slows down lung development in kids and increases the risk of developing asthma.^[4][5]

That's why the rooms where kids play and sleep should be the first place in your home where air quality is measured and actively managed. Our app is ready to help with that.

Improve Sleep Quality

Studies show that sleep quality decreases with increasing CO₂ concentration in the sleeping area.^[1] As little as 1 000 ppm CO₂ has significant impacts on both objective and subjective sleep quality measures.^[2]

Airgeek tracks CO₂ concentration accurately, while our app suggests changes that lead to better overall air quality. For example, we have found that intense airing of an average-sized bedroom as part of your sleep routine halves the CO₂ concentration reading in the morning.

Automate Your Home

In addition to NFC, Airgeek also supports Matter over Thread, and Zigbee, the two most popular^[3] protocols for smart home integration. Airgeek is going to work with Google Home, Apple Home, and Home Assistant.

Airgeek can thus be used to control Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning in smart homes and smart buildings, making it easier to sustain a healthy indoor climate without wasting energy.

Keep Humidity In Check

Airgeek includes a very precise humidity sensor, and continuously monitors relative humidity throughout your home, helping you maintain the ideal 30–50% range that prevents mold growth, while avoiding dry air that can irritate skin and respiratory systems.

Humidity control is especially important in modern air-tight passive homes, where excessive humidity can cause damage to the building itself.

Airgeek at Work

Workplace comfort

If you've ever been crammed in a small meeting room full of people, you know how incredibly challenging it can be to remain focused for hours, while at the same time trying to solve complex problems.

Not only is it incredibly unpleasant to be stuck in a meeting room with insufficient ventilation. Studies have also shown that CO₂ has an objective negative impact on our cognitive skills.

Airgeek gives you the data you need to convince others that properly ventilated meeting rooms are a must.

Safer work environment

Airgeek detects harmful workplace pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide or carbon monoxide that are associated with asthma, cancer, and chronic respiratory conditions.

In high-risk environments such as woodshops (where airborne dust is a known carcinogen) and urban offices with poor ventilation, Airgeek and the accompanying app can be used to track the background pollutant levels and keep them in check.

If you believe your work environment may pose risks to your health, please talk to an expert before buying to see how our device fits the bigger picture, as your specific conditions may require specialized equipment.

Smart building control

Airgeek can be used to control not just smart homes, but also smart buildings. It supports Zigbee and Matter over Thread to control Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) equipment.

While our primary focus at the moment is in the smart home segment, we plan to focus on the smart building market, especially office buildings, going forward. From our own experience, there is a lot of room for improvement there, and lots of low-hanging fruit.
