    • Name: Type a name for the rule.

    • Conditions: Air quality monitor >Air quality outside acceptable range

    • Sensors: CO2

    • Actions: Flash I/O interface status LED

    • Color: Red

    • Duration

  3. Click Save.

  1. Set up the alarm range for CO2
  2. In the camera's webpage, go to Air quality monitor > Settings > CO2.

  3. Enter the MIN and MAX data to set the CO2 range.

Calibration for the first run of the device

Note
  • The AQI (Air Quality Index) requires 12 hours to be functional the first time the device runs. The AQI will show Calculating until it has enough data.
  • Full CO2 accuracy takes 2 days the first time the device runs.
  • Full VOC accuracy takes one hour the first time the device runs.
  • Full NOₓ accuracy takes 6 hours the first time the device runs.
