AXIS D6210 Air Quality Sensor

For detailed installation instructions, see the installation guide.

When you connect your device to a supported host device, the Air quality monitor tab will appear on the host device's web interface.

You can manage all the settings described in this manual through the host device's web interface.

On the device web interface, go to Air quality monitor > Dashboard:

• To edit the name of the dashboard, click next to the dashboard name.

• To show data on the dashboard, click Edit > .

• To hide data on the dashboard, Click Edit > .

On the device web interface, go to Air quality sensor > Settings.

• Set thresholds for temperature, humidity, CO2, NOx, PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10.0, VOC, AQI, humidex, and heat index. See Settings.

• Set vaping detect sensitivity. See Settings.

• Set storage retention time. See Storage settings.

• Set variable metadata frequency. See Variable metadata.

• Set the validation period. See Validation period.

• Enable Modbus. See Modbus.

1. Go to System > MQTT.

2. Enter the broker information:

3. • Host: IP address

   • Username and Password

   • Device topic prefix: This is where the MQTT data will be published. The default topic will be axis/MAC-address.

4. Turn on the MQTT client. The text should change to Status: Connected.

5. Click Save.

You can publish data with MQTT using either variable metadata or event data.

Enable variable metadata:

1. Go to Air quality monitor > Settings > Variable metadata.

2. Enable Variable metadata.

3. Set your data transmission frequency.

Publish the MQTT data:

1. In the MQTT publication tab, click Add condition.

2. In the Add condition dialogue, enter:

3. • Condition: Air quality cloud monitoring active

   • MQTT topic: axis/{serial}/event/tns:axis/AirQualityMonitor/VariableMetadata

   • Payload topic: axis:AirQualityMonitor/VariableMetadata

4. Click Add.

The condition will publish all of the sensor parameters at the variable metadata interval you chose in a format like the following:

(
	"topic": "axis:AirQualityMonitor/Metadata",
	"timestamp": 1772553621219,
	"message": {
		"source": {
			"sensor_name": "D6310"
		},
		"key": {},
		"data": {
			"NOx": "4.000000",
			"Humidity": "21.290001",
			"Temperature": "26.430000",
			"PM10.0": "5.200000",
			"AQI": "28",
			"PM4.0": "5.000000",
			"PM1.0": "3.800000",
			"CO2": "580",
			"VOC": "180.000000",
			"PM2.5": "4.500000",
			"Humidex": "25",
			"Heat index": "26",

The metadata fields that are generated will include:

topic

timestamp

serial

message

message.source

message.source.sensor_name

message.key

message.data

message.data.NOx

message.data.Humidity

message.data.Temperature

message.data.PM1.0

message.data.PM2.5

message.data.PM4.0

message.data.PM10.0

message.data.AQI

message.data.CO2

message.data.VOC

message.data.Humidex

message.data.Heat_index

To send event data about parameter thresholds:

1. Go to System > MQTT > MQTT publication.

2. Click + Add condition.

3. In the Add condition dialogue, enter:

4. • Condition: Air quality monitor > Air quality outside of acceptable range

   • MQTT topic: axis/{serial}/event/tns:axis/AirQualityMonitor/Alarm

   • Payload topic: axis:AirQualityMonitor/Alarm

5. Click Add.

The condition will publish the event data at the interval you chose in a format like the following:

(
	"topic": "axis:AirQualityMonitor/Alarm",
	"timestamp": 1772553621219,
	"message": {
		"source": {
			"source": "Temperature"
			"sensor_name": "D6210"
		},
		"key": {},
		"data": {
			"active": "1"
		}
	}
}

If “active” is 0, parameters are within acceptable ranges. If “active” is 1, one or more parameter is outside of acceptable ranges.

To send event data about smoking and vaping:

1. Go to System > MQTT > MQTT publication.

2. Click + Add condition.

3. In the Add condition dialogue, enter:

4. • Condition: Air quality monitor > Vaping or smoking detected

   • MQTT topic: axis/{serial}/event/tns:axis/AirQualityMonitor/Vaping

   • Payload topic: axis:AirQualityMonitor/Vaping

5. Click Add.

The condition will publish the event data at the interval you chose in a format like the following:

(
	"topic": "axis:AirQualityMonitor/Vaping",
	"timestamp": 1772553621219,
	"message": {
		"source": {
			"sensor_name": "D6210"
		},
		"key": {},
		"data": {
			"active": "1"
		}
	}
}

If “active” is 0, the sensor doesn’t detect smoking or vaping. If “active” is 1, the sensor detects smoking or vaping.

The following example explains how to set up a camera to record video to an SD card when the air quality sensor detects vaping.

1. In the device’s web interface, go to System > Storage to check that the SD card is mounted.

2. Go to System > Events and select Add a rule.
