The 'AirNotis' is a personal air quality monitor being crowdfunded by 'Bluefeel' via a campaign on Kickstarter. The device itself connects to a smartphone via the companion application, which it uses to display metrics such as air quality levels over time, current air quality, and previous notifications.
The device notifies the user when something in the air requires attention, such as a high level of carbon dioxide, any level of carbon monoxide, or an excessive amount of dust. The AirNotis also checks for the temperature and humidity levels, as well as the TVOCs in the air.
The AirNotis can be preordered at an early bird price of $125 USD, which is a full 50% off of the $250 MSRP of the air quality monitor. There are also exclusive rewards for users who support higher tiers on the Kickstarter campaign.
