4 Function and Device Overview
The idevices Air Quality Sensor determines an index value (Indoor Air Quality Index
- IAQ) from the concentration of certain ingredients in indoor air. From the Indoor Air
Quality Index the proportion of the total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and the
CO2 content in the air will be calculated. Furthermore, the idevices Air Quality Sensor
measures temperature, humidity and air pressure. The measured data may be sent
to the idevices cloud via a suitably congured WiFi with Internet access. The data on
IAQ, temperature, humidity and barometric pressure can be viewed using the idevices
app. Based on the criteria of the Air Quality Index, the air quality may be symbolised by
the colours red, yellow and green.
5 General Systen Information
The idevices Air Quality Sensor takes up to one hour to calibrate after implementation.
Therefore, measured data may deviate from correct data during the rst few hours
after initial implementation.

12-digit serial number „XXXXXXXXXXXX“ of the sensor. If you are asked for
a password, please enter „12345678“.
6. Now the browser of your iOS or Android compatible device opens the page
for conguring the idevices Air Quality Sensor. If this is not the case, please
open the browser of your iOS or Android compatible device and go to
http://192.168.4.1.
7. Select your language.

again. Your sensor is now ready for use and shows the colour of the Indoor
Air Quality Index (red, yellow or green) from now on.
10. You may need to reset the WiFi settings of your iOS or Android compatible
device to the previous settings. To do this, return to the WiFi settings menu
of your iOS or Android compatible device and reconnect to the original WiFi
