Indoor Air Quality Monitor

The client is a technology-driven company focused on building smart indoor environmental solutions for commercial, residential, and industrial spaces. With growing awareness of health concerns linked to poor air quality, they wanted a solution that could give real-time visibility of indoor air parameters and support better decision-making for healthier spaces.

Indoor air quality directly impacts comfort, productivity, and health. Existing solutions were limited, often tracking only basic parameters such as temperature and humidity. The client required a comprehensive device that could:

• Measure multiple environmental parameters like CO₂, PM2.5, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and noise.
• Provide real-time monitoring with remote access and alerts.
• Support multi-location management for scalability.
• Offer a user-friendly dashboard that even non-technical users could easily operate.
• Ensure data logging and historical analysis to identify long-term patterns.

Dotcom Services engineered a smart IoT-enabled device tailored for air quality monitoring. 

Our contribution spanned:

• Hardware Development: Integrated a suite of environmental sensors into a compact device with flexible power modes (battery/USB).
• Embedded Software: Developed firmware to capture sensor data continuously and transmit via gateway to the server.
• Cloud Integration: Enabled real-time data syncing to a secure cloud backend.
• Web Dashboard: Designed a management interface for adding buildings, floors, and devices, with interactive maps, graphs, and comparison tools.
• User Management: Implemented account-based access with roles, secure logins, and personalization features.

• Comprehensive Monitoring: Continuous insights into CO₂, particulate matter, VOCs, and comfort parameters.
• Health & Safety: Early warnings on poor air quality allowed preventive actions.
• Scalable Deployment: Easily expandable across multiple sites, from homes to malls to large campuses.
• Operational Visibility: Centralized dashboard provided administrators with a clear overview of all monitored locations.
• Improved User Experience: Simple device setup and an intuitive app ensured adoption by both technical staff and end-users.
• Data Analytics: Historical trend reports and comparative graphs supported compliance, audits, and preventive maintenance.
