This weekend I presented you a new product to measure air quality. This is not the first time that the Honeywell brand has been present on the crowdfunding platform. This brand is known worldwide for its safety related products. Today we find her with a nice little gadget called Xiaomi Honeywell Formaldehyde Detector. It is easily transportable and autonomous, let’s discover it all immediately.
XIAOMI HONEYWELL FORMALDEHYDE DETECTOR
This small sensor is very similar to the Xiaomi Smart Bedside Music Desk Clock in reduced format. Indeed, it comes with a white lacquered ABS shell and a black face. On the latter there is an LED display and a red/green light to indicate air quality. Inside Honeywell has placed a sensor with an electrochemical probe calibrated at the gas factory to determine a result in PPB ( parts per billion). As a reminder, formaldehyde is a gas that is mainly found in indoor environments. It is known to be irritating and even carcinogenic of category 1B or suspected carcinogen in humans. In case of abnormal formaldehyde concentration, the sensor will send an alert and indicate a red light with the measured value. On the other hand, if the rate is correct, the LED will be green.
The Xiaomi Honeywell Formaldehyde Detector measures 72 mm x 72 mm x 39 mm for a weight of 90 grams. It is autonomous and can record values for a month and a half or make measurements in real time. Via the Mi Home application and thanks to the different readings it will define a general trend of the ambient air in your home. Its battery has a battery life of about 45 days and will alert you in case of low battery life.
Xiaomi Mijia Honeywell Formaldehyde Detector will be available for sale from April 9. As for its price, it is 299 yuan or about 39€.
