Air Quality Monitoring

Measure TVOCs, eCO2, Temperature, Humidity, Pressure and Light with the Particle Photon or Electron.

  • Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) sensor (CCS811)
  • equivalent CO2 (eCO2) sensing with the CCS811
  • Ambient Light Sensor
  • Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure (BME280)
  • LED indicator
  • Can be plugged directly into a USB outlet
  • Additional features can be added through the easy access holes next to the Photon/Electron.
  • Headers can connect the stick onto the Particle Asset Tracker.
