Ruuvi Air is an advanced indoor air quality sensor designed to provide real-time monitoring of multiple environmental parameters including CO₂, particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), temperature, humidity, and air pressure. 

What makes Ruuvi Air unique is its combination of high sensor accuracy, continuous real-time data via Bluetooth Low Energy, an internal 10-day data logger, and open-source software. It also features a multi-color light indicator for quick visualization of air quality status, making it easy for anyone to understand indoor air conditions at a glance. Designed for indoor use, it’s a comprehensive tool to improve health and comfort through better air quality awareness.

• Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
• Particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM4 and PM10)
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC index)
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx index)
• Temperature
• Air humidity
• Air pressure
• Ruuvi Indoor Air Quality Score (IAQS)

The Ruuvi Indoor Air Quality Score (IAQS) is a single number from 0 to 100 that summarizes how good or poor your indoor air quality is. It is based on two key factors: levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). These two measurements are combined into one easy-to-understand score so you can quickly assess air quality.

The IAQS considers both pollutants together, but if one rises significantly faster than the other, the overall score will drop accordingly. For example, if cooking increases fine particles while CO₂ stays low, the score still reflects reduced air quality because fine particles affect health. The closer the score is to 100, the healthier and fresher the air is.

Here are the IAQS levels and what they mean:

• Above 90: Excellent air quality
• 80 to 90: Good air quality
• 50 to 80: Fair air quality
• 10 to 50: Poor air quality
• Below 10: Very poor air quality

By monitoring IAQS, you can better understand your indoor environment and take action to improve the air you breathe.

The Ruuvi sensors can be monitored with just a mobile device and the Ruuvi Station app within the Bluetooth range. If you want to monitor conditions from further, you’ll need our Ruuvi Gateway product.

The Gateway is connected to the internet and listens to sensors with a higher sensitivity than a regular mobile device. The test results talk by themselves: up to 2000 meters between the Gateway and the sensors, compared to 200 meters between a mobile device and the sensors (test realized in optimal conditions without any obstacle).

Then, the Gateway shares the data to our cloud service. The sensor measurements are then retrievable, either from the mobile app or our web interface from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection.

Ruuvi Air is ideal for a wide range of indoor environments where air quality matters, including:

• Homes and apartments, for healthy living and allergy or asthma management
• Sleeping environments, to ensure clean and comfortable air for better rest and recovery
• Offices and workplaces, to boost productivity and well-being
• Educational facilities like classrooms and daycare centers, for safe breathing environments
• Healthcare settings, monitoring sensitive air conditions
• Smart buildings and home automation systems, integrated with gateways for continuous monitoring
• 
Its versatility also makes it suitable for DIY projects and researchers needing accurate, real-time environmental data.

1. Placement: Set Ruuvi Air on a flat, stable surface such as a shelf or table, ideally 0.5–1.5 meters high. Make sure it’s away from walls, corners, and tight spots so air can flow freely around the device. Keep vents unobstructed for the most accurate readings.
   Note – Avoid Disturbances: Don’t place the device in direct airflow from AC or heat vents, fans, windows, or near doors. Also avoid heat sources like radiators, ovens, or humidifiers. These can cause spikes that don’t reflect true room air conditions.
2. Power On: Connect the USB-C cable to the included power adapter and plug in. The sensor powers up immediately and starts measuring on its own.
3. Stabilisation & Learning: Most sensor readings stabilize in minutes. VOC/NOx take about 1–2 hours and reach full calibration within 24 hours. You’ll get valid readings right away, but if you move the device, give it some time to readjust.
4. Install the App: Download the free Ruuvi Station app for Android or iOS. Follow the instructions for setup, and allow Bluetooth and location, or Nearby access as prompted. No manual pairing required.

Add Your Sensor: Open the app, tap “Add a new sensor,” and select Ruuvi Air. Claim ownership, then personalize with a name, background image, and custom alert settings.

Using only Ruuvi sensors

The sensors send data packages via Bluetooth to your mobile device. Thanks to optimized sensor antenna design, in perfect conditions without any obstacle, the Bluetooth range is up to 200 meters, which is way more than that regular Bluetooth speaker.

Please keep in mind that any obstacle, especially metal enclosures, concrete walls, or proximity of water will lower the range.

Using Ruuvi sensors + Ruuvi Gateway

The sensors send the same data packages as above with the same emission power. However, the reception antenna is way better on the Ruuvi Gateway than on a regular mobile device. The highest range ever recorded, in optimal conditions, between the Gateway and the sensors is a vertiginous 2000 meters!

The Ruuvi Gateway shares then data to the cloud service and the sensor readings are then retrievable from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection.

The Ruuvi products are not directly integrated into home automation systems. However, all our products are open-source and can be integrated to any home automation system, requiring some further development. Discussions and tutorials about the topic are available on our forum.

Yes you can!

Up to 10 days with the Ruuvi sensors alone

The Ruuvi sensors have built-in storage enabling them to store 10 days of measurement data. You can import the data to the Ruuvi Station mobile app at any point by pressing “sync” button in the app. This means that even when leaving from the Bluetooth range, you will be able to see a detailed 10 days history when coming back and synchronizing.

Up to 3 years with the Ruuvi Gateway and our cloud service

If this 10 days of data is too short, or that you want to be able to monitor your sensors remotely, you should consider the Ruuvi Gateway. It enables you to analyze up to 2 years of data history on the convenient and intuitive desktop version of Ruuvi Station. Also, no need to synchronize, the Ruuvi Gateway is continuously sharing data to the cloud and it is retrievable from anywhere around the world as long as you have an internet connection.

Ruuvi Air excels at monitoring indoor air quality in homes, offices, classrooms, and other controlled environments where it delivers accurate and reliable results. Because it is specifically engineered for indoor use, it is not suited for outdoor conditions such as rain, wind, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature changes. These outdoor elements can impact sensor accuracy and potentially damage the device since it does not have weatherproof protection. For the best performance and longevity, it’s recommended to use Ruuvi Air indoors where air conditions are stable and ideal for precise air quality monitoring.

Ruuvi Air contains a small fan, which is an essential part of the sensor system. You may notice a faint sound when the device is powered on and operating. This is perfectly normal and most users find it barely noticeable. The fan gently circulates air through the device, ensuring that the sensors continuously receive fresh airflow and enabling accurate real-time measurements. This airflow is what makes Ruuvi Air reliable in monitoring your indoor environment.

Ruuvi Air uses high-quality Sensirion SEN66 sensors for gas and particulate matter measurements, and Infineon DPS368 for air pressure.

• CO₂ accuracy ranges from ±(50 ppm + 2.5% to 5% of measured value) depending on concentration range, with typical repeatability ±5 ppm and a response time of about 60 seconds.
• Particulate Matter precision varies by size but is typically ±5 μg/m³ + 5% for PM1 and PM2.5 under 100 μg/m³, with response time in seconds.
• VOC and NOx sensor indexes have device-to-device variations of less than ±15 and ±50 index points respectively, with reliable detection times under 60 seconds.
• Temperature accuracy is typically ±0.45°C at 25°C, humidity typically ±4.5% RH at room conditions, and air pressure absolute accuracy ±1 hPa.
These typical accuracies reflect optimal conditions, with some variation possible in real-world usage.

Ruuvi Air continuously broadcasts air quality measurements every second using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). This makes it compatible with a wide range of devices such as Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, the Ruuvi Gateway router, and many third-party BLE-compatible receivers. The data transmission is seamless and designed for real-time monitoring.

In addition to live broadcasting, Ruuvi Air stores up to 10 days of historical data internally, with measurements logged every 5 minutes.

For users seeking long-term trends and extensive data analysis, Ruuvi offers an optional Ruuvi Gateway device and cloud subscription service that can store up to 3 years of historical data, providing comprehensive insight into indoor air quality over extended periods.
