Carbon monoxide & dioxide.

Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels in the air, measured continuously and watched against the limits you set.

1 · What we measure

Carbon monoxide & dioxide is carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels in the air, reported as a continuous value.

ppm
Unit reported
Per point
Read where it matters
Instantaneous
Sensor type

The sensor reads it where it happens, so each point is measured where it matters rather than inferred from a single site figure.

2 · How it's measured

A sealed, battery-powered wireless sensor reads carbon monoxide & dioxide at its location and reports it to the platform over LoRa, NB-IoT or Sigfox. There is no wiring to run, and the sensor lasts years on its battery.

How often it reports depends on the device and the network, from once a minute to a few times an hour. Between reports the platform holds every reading, so a trend can be plotted in Charting and a threshold checked continuously.

3 · Where it's used

Where carbon monoxide & dioxide is put to work, and the payoff in each case:

4 · Alerts & thresholds

Set an upper limit, a lower limit, or both, and Augos tells you the moment a reading crosses it. A rate-of-change alert catches a fast move before the reading even leaves its band. Alerts reach you on WhatsApp, email or SMS, through Triggers and alerts.

5 · Reports it feeds

Carbon monoxide & dioxide flows into every module that works on continuous readings:

6 · Hardware

Carbon monoxide & dioxide is read by the wireless sensor device, sealed and battery-powered and fitted where the reading matters. Deploy one on its own or alongside other parameters, and see Hardware and deployment for how it connects and installs.

7 · Extracting the data

Every reading is yours to take off the platform, live through the API, as an AI-ready payload, or as a plain file export down to the interval you choose. See Data and integrations.

Common questions

What units is it reported in?

ppm, to the resolution of the sensor.

How often does it update?

From once a minute to a few times an hour, depending on the device and the network it reports over.

Which device reads it?

The wireless sensor device, sealed and battery-powered.

Can I alert on how fast it is changing?

Yes. As well as upper and lower limits, a rate-of-change trigger catches a fast rise or fall before the reading leaves its band.
