Summary of Air Quality Sensors for Smart Homes

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

This video discusses the use of air quality sensors to help improve the air quality in a home. The sensors can be placed near where the person is breathing, and there should be enough space around the sensor to get a good reading. There are some automations set up in an assistant application that will light up and send a notification if the air quality in a particular room goes above a certain level. The options available to the person are to open a window or close it depending on the situation.
