Possible wrongful calculation of particles #148

Closed Zelaf closed 2 years ago

Zelaf commented 2 years ago

Hi! I got two air purifiers in my home, one Dyson Hot+Cool Link and one IKEA Starkvind Bord which is their side table. I have vastly different numbers when it comes to air quality and I'm starting to wonder if either of them could possibly be wrong. I'll include a screenshot to show it!

This could be related to my post here.

It's possible it's outputting Dyson 0 to 10 scale

Zelaf commented 2 years ago

Ah I see, so instead of reporting the actual number it's a scale from 1 to 10 of how the air quality is?

Anto79-ops commented 2 years ago

I believe it is but if it reports a number greater than 10 or 12 then I'm incorrect

I tried holding a lighter to the back of the fan by the sensor and it didn't go above 9. I think I need to try something that'll set of the sensor more.
