A French company has just launched a crowdfunding campaign for a home air quality monitor, which sends alerts on the volume of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in your home.
The Paris-based company already launched a successful Indiegogo campaign last year for the same device, then called AirBoxLab, but now the Alima startup hopes to gain funds to expand its small production run to a broad consumer launch, TechCrunch reports.
The cylindrical device is designed to be stylish enough to display in the home, and its sensors track a number of air pollutants, including particulate matter, as well as temperature and humidity. Alima then forwards that data to the cloud and pushes results and advice to your smartphone, offering tips and solutions to improving air quality.
Launching on Indiegogo, Alima is priced at $199 for early backers, and then $249. Retail price is slated to be $299. Estimated shipping is this October.
Another similar device currently raising funds on Indiegogo is the Birdi, a smart air quality detector for the home that also doubles as a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide sensor. Controlled via a smartphone app, Birdi monitors everything from pollen to pollution and provides real-time updates and health alerts and will even give users a heads-up warning two months in advance when the batteries are on the wane.
