The Hong Kong Online Dashboard consolidates district‑aligned AQHI, pollutant profiles, weather, UV, and humidity into one interface, with clear sourcing and timestamps. Outcome: the right ventilation, filtration, and occupancy choices at the right time — without toggling across multiple systems. What sets it apart for organisations Decision‑ready design: Short‑term trends and forecast cues support actions like postponing indoor gatherings, pre‑conditioning air, or adjusting cleaning schedules. Compliance and auditing: Transparent timestamps and sources simplify reporting and demonstrate diligence for ESG, wellness standards, and stakeholder communications. Enterprise extensibility: Integrate your own sensors, BMS/IoT platforms, traffic and news feeds, or incident alerts. Branding and UX: Your identity, your workflow. We deliver white‑label versions with your guidelines, roles, and onboarding flows. Reliability m...

We’ve been exploring how to make indoor air healthier — and while monitor selection matters, what you do with the data matters even more. That’s why we built the Hong Kong Online Dashboard : a free, open‑source tool that brings together real‑time AQHI, pollutants, weather, UV, and humidity — all synced by district, all in one place. Every reading is timestamped and sourced, so you know exactly what you’re looking at. It’s not just a dashboard — it’s a starting point: Use it for free. Fork it, adapt it, extend it. Say hi, star the repo , or buy me a coffee ☕ if it helps you out. Why this dashboard is different Unified view: No more switching between apps — everything’s here. Transparency: Every reading is timestamped and sourced. Local relevance: Tailored for Hong Kong districts. Extendable: Add your own sensor data, traffic, news, or smart home triggers. Community‑re...

Improving Indoor Air Quality   TL;DR Indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for health, comfort, and productivity in every indoor environment. This page provides a clear overview of key indoor pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), ozone, radon, and particulate matter (PM1), explains relevant standards like WELL and RESET, and offers practical guidance on selecting accurate, certified sensors. You'll also find actionable strategies to improve air quality at home and work, empowering you to create healthier spaces. Welcome to your guide on indoor air quality — the invisible ingredient that shapes your well-being every day. We’ll start by grounding our discussion in trusted standards like WELL, then explore what poor air quality really means, and finally, what practical steps you can take to breathe easier and live better, whether at home or in the office. The First Ingredient: Air That’s Fresh, Clean, and Safe Before you automate anything, before you...

Imagine your smart home as a kitchen — and your sensors as the ingredients. The chef? That’s your automation engine. Together, they cook up a living space that’s not just reactive, but deliciously intelligent. The Sensor Chef’s Pantry Every sensor adds a flavour to your smart home recipe: CO₂ monitors = freshness check — is the air stale or sweet? PM, VOC and NOx sensors = spice level — too much particulate heat? Temperature & humidity = texture — is the room dry, damp, or just right? Motion & light sensors = timing — is someone in the room, and how bright is it? The more sensors you have, the more nuanced your “dish” becomes. A basic setup might just boil water. A modular system lets you prepare a full tasting menu. Cooking with Automations The Sensor Chef doesn’t just measure — they act. Automations are the recipes that turn raw data into responsive behaviour: “If CO₂ > 1000 ppm and someone’s in the room, turn on the purifier.” “If humid...

You’ve probably seen the adverts: a sleek little box that promises to make your air conditioner “smart” in minutes. Plug it in, download the app, and suddenly you’re saving money, breathing cleaner air, and living in the future. The Catch: AC Doesn’t Clean the Air Here’s the thing: air conditioners don’t actually clean the air. They cool, they dehumidify, they circulate — but they don’t remove CO₂, VOCs, or fine particles. If you want genuinely healthier air, you’ll need to bring an air purifier into the mix. And that’s where the choice between plug‑and‑play and modular systems really shows. To be honest, CO₂ is the real bad actor in many high‑density spaces — meeting rooms, classrooms, even open‑plan offices to some extent. That heavy, sleepy feeling after an hour in a packed room? Often it’s elevated CO₂. Thankfully, most commercial spaces have fresh air delivery systems that swap old air for new, keeping things fresh and sweet (hopefully...
