Ink weather released its air quality monitoring equipment air fruit

This afternoon, the ink weather at 798 Ullens Art Center released its air quality monitoring equipment "air fruit", with both indoor and outdoor equipment.

Indoor Air "air fruit" with aluminum alloy forming a round fuselage, can monitor PM2.5, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, humidity four kinds of values, through an LED screen display. Wake the "air fruit", the user can be in front of the screen with the hands of the left and right to slide, switch monitoring values. The perimeter of the round screen is a circle of breathing lights that can display the current indoor air condition in different colours. At the same time, press the Back button, "air fruit" can voice broadcast the current indoor PM2.5, temperature and humidity and so on. Users can view the indoor air through the app side and share it with friends.

The self-positioning of "air fruit" is the entrance to an indoor air solution, so it is about to open the API, the indoor environment data to open all indoor air equipment, currently includes the Lok Pao, the United States, including 6 manufacturers, and free of charge to the partners to provide free app and cloud support. The price of "air fruit" is 999 yuan.

Meanwhile, the ink weather released the "Air Fruit" outdoor version. "Air Fruit" outdoor version can be suspended in the balcony, walls and other places, and can be monitored data returned to the "air fruit", and then spread to the clouds. In other words, "air fruit" outdoor version must and "air fruit" matching, and the two equipment must be within a certain range. "Air Fruit" outdoor version in the Ink Weather official website Free extraction, is expected to issue 10 units per day.

There is no doubt that the biggest weakness of "air fruit" is its price. 999 Yuan has been able to buy a common indoor air purifier, why spend the same price to buy a can not improve air quality air quality detector? Meanwhile, the air index of "air fruit" adopts real-time feedback, almost every second the index beats, although the ink weather obviously want to reflect the product sensitivity, but the number of beats at any time is annoying, why not take 3 seconds to detect the median number of users and so on more friendly way?

On the other hand, ink weather outdoor version of the ambition is to create a series of crowdsourcing air quality inspection station, which is similar in strategy and Pimi, however, such a strategy has a natural flaw, that is, such a device to detect the PM2.5 value of the credibility of how? And, "Air fruit" outdoor version must and "Air fruit" with, equipment distribution channels are not unified, whether there will be bought "air fruit" but not get "air fruit" outdoor version of the situation?

Ink Weather CEO Tech said, "air fruit" 999 yuan is the hardware cost price, does not include the design development and so on expense, at present in the hardware aspect does not consider the business model.
