In collaboration with AirSpotHealth, we have already given away six monitors over the past few months. Now we are giving away two more! You can find the threads to the previous giveaways here:
We’re now running another giveaway, and there are two ways to enter - one is to reply to my post on X (you can find my profile here: https://x.com/safe_breathe) and the second is to comment your reply to the question below on this forum.
How do you intend to use the AirSpot map?
If you’re unaware of the AirSpot map, you can check it out here: https://map.airspothealth.com. It’s also accessible through the AirSpot app!
This new map platform is very exciting because it also integrates some other community maps (you can learn more here). It’s very exciting to see a more universal CO2 map platform come to life!
Once again, I am very thankful to the wonderful team at AirSpotHealth for giving me this opportunity to give something back to the community. This is a fantastic monitor, and you can find my full thoughts below:
The two winners for this giveaway - one from X and one person that comments here - will be drawn on Sunday the 1st of March at midnight (GMT +8). Please let me and @JordanAirSpot know if you have any questions (feel free to tag either of us) and good luck!
TBH I am only now aware of the AirSpot map, so I am not sure how I will use it, other than just for reference if I am traveling.
However I notice there is no data from my area of the UK, so I would be interested in finding if there is an API available. And if so can I automate a system to publish my data to the map on a regular basis.
I’d use it to help me map out safe areas for myself and my family to frequent as safe as possible. I’d hope to use it to provide feedback to places like my doctors or hospitals, even education settings to check co2 levels and let them know they can easy check and monitor too!
I currently contribute to the Airspot Map and I enjoy looking at all the different places that are already on it to plan out my trips! I’m looking forward to making many more contributions
I intend to load readings to the map in places that would be useful for others. For example, Doctors offices, dentist rooms, skin check practices. Having been searching for these types of places with decent ventilation, I hope to help others in the same way. I’ll also use it to search for businesses with good ventilation myself.
While it’s great to see how many places in Melbourne are on the co2 map, there’s nothing out here in the Dandenong Ranges. Sounds like a perfect excuse to go cafe hopping!
It is on my list to contact you, but thinking about it.
I currently own two CO2 sensors (both SwitchBot Meter Pro CO2 Monitor’s) which I initially purchased to check my desk at work to see if there was any correlation with afternoon lethargy (spoiler - no there is not, the one at work is generally in the green) and I purchased a second one that is in my living room since, once I started collecting this data I was interested in what that would show (this one is generally in the red)
Anyway, since both of these are in private locations (a private office building and a personal home) is there any point in publishing the data to a public website since it will not provide any value to anyone else?
Maybe if I had a monitor placed outside I could publish that data, but again, how useful would it be.
As far as I can see the value of the data would be if it were collected in publicly accessible building (i.e. bars/hospitals/public buildings). Is there not a risk that allowing private locations to be added to the data it is going to limit its usefulness?
We encourage you to only share public spaces. If you see private residences on the map, please use the report data function and we will remove it! However we would not consider offices to be private and encourage you to share this data.
I recently learned about the Airspot and would love to have one. Also new to me is the Airspot Map, which I saw from this thread. I’ve already taken a look around on the map in my area. It’s great to see some locations have a pin with information. However a lot of them are older, from 2022, 2023. I would use the map to take a look for places I intend to go, even though the data might be older, it could still give an indication of the ventilation. I would contribute to the map as I take readings where I go. The CO2 monitor I had (vita light) broke over a year ago so I would like a new one. Thanks for the contest, I’d love an Airspot.
