MCO Home CO2 Sensor 12V

The MCO Home CO2 Sensor (12V) is an advanced Z-Wave Plus air quality detector encased in a sleek, modern shell featuring a tempered glass panel and touch buttons. Designed for seamless integration into any Z-Wave smart home network, this device provides a comprehensive view of your indoor air quality. It is a multi-sensor solution that accurately measures not only the critical Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration but also monitors room temperature and humidity. The 12V DC variant is particularly suitable for installations requiring a low-voltage power source and is designed to fit standard wall mounting boxes, making it an excellent choice for modern homes, offices, or commercial spaces focused on health and comfort.

Functionalities

This smart air quality monitor is built to enhance occupant well-being and automate ventilation control:

• Real-time Air Quality Monitoring: Provides continuous, high-accuracy measurement and display of CO2 concentration, ensuring the air is always safe and comfortable.

• Multi-Sensor Data Reporting: In addition to CO2, the device tracks and reports indoor temperature and humidity levels directly to your Z-Wave gateway, allowing for holistic environment control.

• Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Detection: Includes a built-in VOC sensor that displays air quality locally in four stages: Excellent, Good, Average, and Poor, helping you identify the presence of various toxic gases.

• Smart Automation Trigger: The Z-Wave compatibility enables the sensor to act as an automated trigger. When a pre-set CO2 threshold (default $1000\text{ppm}$, adjustable) is exceeded, the sensor can automatically command other Z-Wave devices, such as activating ventilation systems, exhaust fans, or alerting you via colored RGB light signals or notifications.

• Local Display and Control: The device features a clear LCD screen to display all measured values and the current time/day. Capacitive touch buttons allow for local time setting and modification of the CO2 alarm threshold.

• Z-Wave Plus Repeater: As a mains-powered Z-Wave Plus device, it acts as a signal repeater, extending the range and stability of your entire Z-Wave mesh network for robust communication.
