Use Case Scenarios

Air Purification:
- Adjust fan settings to control air circulation using the fan channel.
- Monitor particulate matter (airParticulate) to maintain air quality.
Environmental Monitoring:
- Track temperature (temperature) and humidity (humidity) for optimal indoor comfort.
- Detect harmful gases like CO₂, CO, and VOCs using the respective channels.
Health and Safety:
- Use leak to detect water leaks or device malfunctions.
- Monitor atmospheric pressure (pressure) and gas concentrations (e.g., NO₂, SO₂) for comprehensive air quality analysis.
