The Sensio Air sensor is the first allergen tracker able to identify allergens in the air in real-time.
Currently, allergen detection is done manually by trained scientists using a spore trap (sticky tape) and analyzing it with expensive equipment.
Sensio Air is powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and performs allergen characterization with an accuracy significantly superior to laboratory testing.
The sensor is updatable remotely to detect more particles based on the customer's needs.
The current version of the sensor is able to identify mold, dust mites, animal dander and pollen.
It's also able to monitor indoor parameters such as pollution (VOC and CO2) as well as temperature, humidity, noise levels and light intensity, some units might be fitted with one or more of these sensors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The units are all fitted with anti-tamper stickers. If you remove or tamper with the unit you may be liable under the terms of conditions of usage. Attempting to reverse engineer the device will expose your company to serious legal consequences. Sensio Air is a registered trademark. Both the hardware and software are patent pending.

Before using the device, please ensure that you have the following:
The Sensio Air mobile application (available on iPhone or Android) or a web browser on your Mac or PC, preferably Chrome.
1- Light interferes with the reading of the sensor, the best way to place a sensor is away from light in the darkest possible place of the room, make sure there’s no overhead lighting - avoid direct sunlight or light sources interfering with the sensor.
2- Having more than a couple of sensors like any wifi product hampers the right operation of the devices, while they might work, the load on the router might pose issues with data transfer.
3- The wifi connectivity works from both the app and the desktop, make sure you try both before calling us.
4- Devices are to be used within the condition of use. Do not expose the devices to nonstandard conditions. Please do not expose to extreme conditions like heat, sunlight or humidity, and do not leave outside or expose to water.
5- Please do not attempt to open the devices as this will break the calibration
6- Please make sure the sticker on the top of the device that says peel, is removed, do not touch or wipe the glass, only use canned air for clearing particles from the analysis plate.
The ideal position is about 120cm from the floor with the device pointing upwards.
Do not cover the device, do not use it outdoors.

I'm having issue setting up the WiFi credentials using the Sensio Air mobile application
You can use an alternative method as described below:
1. Upon first use, the device will emit a WiFi access point called "sensioair" after 30 seconds of powering. Using a computer or mobile phone, connect to this open access point (does not require username or password) - if you do not see the "sensioair" WiFi on your list; please refresh it.
2. Using the same computer or phone, open a web browser and type 192.168.4.1 in the address bar.
3. In the text box, enter the network name and password of your WiFi network. Please note that this is case-sensitive.
4. Click on the submit button. The device will reboot and automatically connect to your WiFI. If this is the case, you will see the LEDs light solid green.
