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.

To use your PurpleAir PIXEL, plug it into a USB port. Make sure you insert it the right way. If it doesn't light up, take it out, turn it over, and try plugging it in again.
Press the button located on the flat side of the PIXEL to cycle through the available brightness settings from off to full brightness.
Note: When choosing a place for your PurpleAir PIXEL, make sure the air duct is clear of obstructions to get the best performance.
PLEASE NOTE: The PIXEL is a standalone sensor and does notconnect to the PurpleAir Real-Time Map. Data is accessible via the USB port and may be uploaded by future software.
It’s nice that the little portable reader gives a color quality read out much like the indoor air reader, but the indoor reader also allows you to read a number for the quality on a map or on your phone. It would be nice if this device had a similar capability or by downloading to a portable app.

It's adorable! I love it!
I've been wanting purple air to invent this for so long and it's finally here! yes please! it was so easy to get going -- just plug n play. I have to travel for work all the time, staying in motels, and I didn't love how I couldn't test the air quality when i wasn't at home (since my purple air touch device can't easily be taken to a hotel). Now I can test the hotel air! When I'm not traveling, we keep it in the kitchen so my roommates know not to pollute up the place. i'm so happy about this thing! thank you for inventing it! (also looking forward to using it in my car)

It's okay but I was expecting more.
I was hoping for a digital numerical display instead of just the Purple Air color scheme. Some of the color transitions are hard to interpret, but I'm getting better at it. Also, a small battery would have been nice, even as an option, but I was able to find an inexpensive one on Amazon. It makes it an anytime, anywhere system with a battery.
