Featuring the Bosch BMV080, the world's smallest particulate matter PM2.5 detector, this revolutionary new type of air quality sensor has no moving parts. Using convection, air moves gently through the sensor, so it is absolutely silent. The multi-colored LED lights illuminate with the color of the AQI, providing immediate and at-a-glance particulate (PM2.5) air quality readings.

Powered by USB, this simple device has no WiFi or Bluetooth, which ensures plug-and-play simplicity with no additional setup required.

Not easy to take a picture of colors on pixel

I bought this to keep track of my homes air quality, i thought i could journal with pictures, no such luck I can’t see the yellow or orange on any camera it just stays white on picture, any advice? This is an orange reading, but 3 different cameras only pick up white.

Easy way to keep track of air quality

I have a complicated outdoor sensor for history, cloud access, lots of metrics about the air I can't control.

I don't need that specificity for my indoors. If it's yellow or higher, I turn on the air purifier until it's green again. If I care enough, I can plug it into my computer to see the exact number. Great product!

PIXEL works like my Touch - will be handy for travel

We have several PurpleAir "Touches" and our new Pixel works as well as they do in accurately measuring air quality. The Pixel will come in very handy when we travel. It looks cool as well ;^)
