Introducing the PurpleAir PIXEL
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.

I like this device as I can carry it with me. There are some features I like to see add to it.
1. if would be good to be able to see the detection reading number so that I can see the level of exposure.
2. It would be good to be able to capture the data in SD Card so that we can have historical data or better yet, connect to the map so that we can have visual historical data.
I like to be able to carry this device around my yard while I’m working in my yard and detect the sudden smoking particles and my exposure to smoking coming from my next door neighbor’s smoking. I notice that when I go close to my trees, the trees has very strong tobacco and vaping smell and marijuana smell, it would be nice to have the device give me a reading output so that I can take video of the reading while I walk around the yard.
