The company's affordable and straightforward RuuviTag sensors have been so easy to use that even everyday consumers have swapped out their home thermometers for them.
Now, the company is expanding into indoor air monitoring. The new Ruuvi Air station includes the familiar temperature, air pressure, and humidity measurements found in its earlier small sensor tags.
But the standout new feature in Ruuvi Air is its comprehensive air quality tracking. The device measures carbon dioxide levels, airborne particulate matter, and the so-called VOC index. The VOC index reflects how the human sense of smell perceives the intensity of odors compared to earlier conditions.
The best part of Ruuvi Air (as with other Ruuvi products) is that the data is available free of charge - and forever. The clean mobile app is also free and presents even the new metrics in a simple, easy-to-understand format.
According to the company, the app also introduces Ruuvi's own air quality scoring system, which compiles all the collected data into a single, easily digestible numerical value.
All Ruuvi devices are built on open-source technology, with numerous ready-made integrations available for smart home systems. Still, they can just as well be used on their own -- simply by checking the readings on a phone.
The Ruuvi Air stations are manufactured in Finland, with deliveries starting in late October. Early-bird pricing in Ruuvi's online store is €109 (appx. $128), after which the regular price will be €149 (appx. $174).
