Sharing IAQ Data
Your Airthings Business Dashboard offers multiple ways to share IAQ sensor data with employees, visitors, or the public. Here are the most effective options for each situation:
Displaying IAQ data on screens: Use the Loop 24 Widget to show the indoor air quality (IAQ) data on screens in common areas like lobbies or conference rooms.
Sharing IAQ data for a single sensor: You can create a unique QR code for each sensor, making it easy for people to scan and view IAQ data on their devices.
Sending a link with IAQ data: Create a public dashboard to share a link with the IAQ data.
Loop24 Widget
The Loop24 Widget is an effective tool for sharing IAQ data with a broader audience by displaying it on screens in areas like offices or reception spaces. This widget allows you to show IAQ data alongside any other content you choose, such as images, videos, or RSS feeds. You can customize the display to show data from a single device or combine data from multiple devices for a more comprehensive view.

Sharing IAQ Data with QR Codes
To share indoor air quality (IAQ) data from your Airthings sensors with employees, visitors, or others, you can create a unique QR code for each sensor. Place the QR code near the corresponding sensor so anyone can scan it to access that device's IAQ data instantly.
Creating a QR code
Go to the Business Dashboard, and navigate to the relevant building.
Under Settings, scroll down to Public devices.
Search for and select the device you want to make public.
Enable public sharing for the device.
Select the Public devices and print the QR codes
Seeing the IAQ data via the QR Code
Once you've created the QR code and placed it next to the sensor, people can scan it with a QR code reader on their phone to view the IAQ data. This is an easy and convenient way to share this information with others.
Making a device Public also generates a link where you can see the sensor values. Try this link to see the result: https://now.airthin.gs/MtQDtR?lang=en&unit=METRIC
or simply scan the QR code below to see the result:
Public Dashboard
In the Business Dashboard, you can create a public dashboard to easily share indoor air quality (IAQ) data from your Airthings sensors. Simply share the link with anyone—no Airthings account is required to view the data. You can also open the link on a large screen in your office to display IAQ information for all to see.
A public dashboard can look like this:
Steps to create a public dashboard
Open the Business Dashboard: Navigate to the dashboard page in the menu on the left.
Add a public dashboard: Click the yellow arrow, then select Add public dashboard.
Name and enable sharing: Enter a name for your dashboard, enable public sharing, and click add dashboard.
Customize your dashboard: You can now add or remove tiles to display specific IAQ data and configure other settings. You also have several options available:
Share: generate a shareable link to display the IAQ data. This link can be opened on any screen.
Settings: rename the dashboard, toggle public sharing, or delete the dashboard.
Add tile: add IAQ data tiles to customize the information displayed.
Swap dashboard: switch between multiple public dashboards if you’ve created more than one.
Add public dashboard: create additional public dashboards as needed.
Reset dashboard: restore the dashboard to its original state, including the default tiles.
Parameters in the link
When you click on Share a public link will be generated:
You can copy and share this link with anyone. Typically, no adjustments are needed, but if you'd like to customize the link, you can modify specific parameters.
Let's look at this link as an example:
Changing units
At the end of the link you find
&unit=METRICfor Metric units and&unit=USfor Imperial units. You can adjust the link manually to switch between units.Adjusting tile width
To change the width of the dashboard display, add
&tiles-in-width=x to the link, where X is the desired width number of tiles. The width can be set from 1 to 4 tiles.For example, if the link to your public dashboard is "https://now.airthin.gs/dashboard/E08QAe?lang=en&unit=METRIC", you can add
&tiles-in-width=4to make the dashboard 4 tiles wide:
https://now.airthin.gs/dashboard/E08QAe?lang=en&unit=METRIC&tiles-in-width=4
