Experts are sounding the alarm about the hidden dangers of gas stoves
I'm amazed by how complex indoor air quality is. Heating, cooling, filtering, cycling outdoor air... none of it is as straightforward as you'd hope. I noticed a substantial improvement in my health when I started putting HEPA air filters all over my house, and another jump when I moved away from a major road. Now COVID-19's airborne spread has bumped this issue from annoyance to life and death.It seems like this is an area where IoT should really deliver the goods. I should be able to cheaply add networked sensors, fans, filters, and vents to my home to automatically monitor air quality and temperature, then take appropriate action. Sadly, we're basically stuck with smart thermostats that spy on you and deliver little benefit over a local solution.I had a lot of hope for IoT air conditioning vents, but those products never seemed to materialize. Indoor air quality monitors are expensive and inaccurate. Nobody is offering me a real-time fluid dynamics model of the heat and pollutant situation in my home, let alone responding to it appropriately.Amazing how hard it is to create reliable, computable models of the world...
