UPDATE: Tools.Valarm.net gives you, your teams, and your organization an easy way to remotely monitoring Industrial IoT sensors. Below is a video from our legacy Android app.

For your organization’s CO2 monitoring needs, use the CO2 Air Quality Monitoring Kit from Shop.Valarm.net.

Does your organization need to remotely monitor air quality? How about more air quality index factors than CO2?

Then take a gander at our Air Quality Monitoring Systems overview page.

Also have a look at this Customer Story / Use Case with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SC – AQMD). AQMD is the California government agency responsible for air quality monitoring and compliance in Los Angeles, Orange County, and the majority of Southern California.

With Tools.Valarm.net, your organization can easily + effectively deploy air quality monitoring systems and stations that measure things like:

  • Dust, pollen, and particulate matter – PM1, PM2.5, PM10
  • Gases like O3 / Ozone, NO2 / Nitrogen Dioxide, H2S / Hydrogen Sulfide, SO2 / Sulfur Dioxide, NOx / other Nitrogen Dioxides
  • Any other factors you need to monitor, since there’s most likely a sensor out there that you can connect to our open Industrial IoT platform

This video shows you how to use Valarm to do remote environmental monitoring, specifically air quality and CO2.

The Valarm Tools Cloud is where you can map, graph, analyze, and download your sensor data: tools.valarm.net.

Valarm compatible connector hardware, like wireless sensor hubs and ethernet sensors hubs, is available at shop.valarm.net.

The Valarm Pro app for Android is available here in the Google Play store.

You can get Valarm compatible sensors and sensor connector devices at shop.valarm.net. Here’s a direct link to where you can buy this CO2 sensor.

Transcript / Voiceover script:

Hello, my name’s Edward and I’m the president of Valarm. This video shows you how to do remote air quality and CO2 monitoring with Valarm.

This is a Valarm compatible CO2 sensor made by Yoctopuce. The Valarm Y cable you see here allows you to charge a Sony Android device while using USB OTG to host one or more external sensors at the same time. After you have installed the Valarm Pro app plug your power in to the female micro USB end of the Y cable. This can be power from solar panels, a vehicle, or from the wall as seen in this demo. Next plug in your USB sensors, in this case we’re using an air quality carbon dioxide sensor although you can connect Valarm to any number of a variety of sensors using a standard USB hub. See http://shop.valarm.net for more info on currently available sensors.

Last, plug the Y cable in to your Android device and you will be prompted to launch Valarm. After you launch the Valarm Pro app use the menu button to go to the all settings screen then click Yoctopuce sensor settings. Next click the VOC (volatile organic compounds) and CO2 button. Turn on Yoctopuce sensors by clicking the button in the upper right then enable the CO2 sensor. Click the Scan All button to verify that the sensor has been detected and take sensor readings. You’ll see the current sensor value next to the help button, in this case our environment is a little over 1000 ppm CO2.

You can use the Valarm app’s interval timer to get your sensor data at regular intervals like every minute or every hour. You can also use the sliders to set your custom threshold values for minimum and maximum levels for any sensor. If a value goes above or below your specified threshold, Valarm will be triggered and can upload the alert GPS location and sensor values to the Valarm Tools website at tools.valarm.net . You can also receive alerts via text message and email. See Valarm’s other videos for step-by-step instructions on linking your Valarm devices to the Valarm Tools Cloud.

If you breathe on the sensor and scan values again you’ll verify everything is connected properly and see a rise in CO2 levels.

Now your Valarm device is ready to be deployed for remote monitoring! Go back to the home screen to arm Valarm. Now that Valarm is armed and deployed you will see all of your Valarm data in real time on the Valarm Tools website at tools.valarm.net . You can also receive alerts when there is a max or min trigger. See Valarm’s other videos for instructions on how to link all of your sensor data to the Valarm Tools Cloud at tools.valarm.net as well as how to configure text message and email alerts from Valarm.
