Description
AirCasting is an open-source environmental data visualization platform that consists of an Android app and online mapping system. The application collects measurements from HabitatMap’s AirBeam and other health and environmental monitoring devices and relays it to the maps. With thousands of AirBeams measuring particulate matter worldwide and over a billion data points, the AirCasting platform is one of the largest open-source databases of community-collected air quality measurements ever created. By documenting and leveraging health and environmental data to inform personal decision-making and public policy, the AirCasting platform empowers community-based organizations, educators, academics, regulators, city managers, and citizen scientists to map air pollution and organize for clean air.
AirBeam is a low-cost, palm-sized air quality instrument that measures hyperlocal concentrations of harmful microscopic particles in the air, known as particulate matter, as well as humidity and temperature. The AirBeam measures particulate matter with proven accuracy and when used in conjunction with the AirCasting platform - or a custom solution - helps community-based organizations, educators, academics, regulators, city managers, and citizen scientists map air pollution and organize for clean air.
The AirBeam measures harmful microscopic air particles (particulate matter), humidity, and temperature. In mobile mode, the AirBeam can be worn to capture personal exposures. In fixed mode, it can be installed indoors or outdoors - it’s weather resistant and doesn’t need a shelter - to keep tabs on pollution levels in your home, office, backyard, or neighborhood 24/7.

Excellent user interface Really nice graphics and usability in the Air casting app. Other decibel sensor apps tell you DBs, but with Air casting you are contributing to a wider collaborative effort. Can't wait to see what other sensors can be used to monitor things like gas leaks or water quality.

Fun and with masses of potential I've always thought noise pollution one of the really forgotten polluters that can have a horrible impact on life. Here's a surprisingly fun and strangely addictive way of contributing at least to measuring/understanding the problem. I hope this does well.

Air Casting lets you sense the Air This is a really neat and easy to use tool for measuring sound levels. It's super easy to get started and has nice features for sharing and crowdsourcing sound levels. I like using Air Casting during my morning and evening walks to help find the quiet and noisy routes.

Poor ui Only gave me the option of seeing sound levels. No menu buttons or anything. Downloaded this to use with my zephyr but the app doesn't actually appear to do anything.

Can you give instructions for "navigate to the settings screen, check “Streaming”, navigate back to the “Air Casting” screen and press “Start Recording”? It’s as simple as that." There appears to be no way to get to the settings screen on many phones. Why not update the app with a settings button on the home screen? I have an Air beam V3 sitting next to me here and no way to get the app to connect to it. Please help I am running Android 7.1.2
