Yes, in principle, the air-Q is suitable as a fire detector, as it precisely detects the substances produced in a fire such as smoke (particulates), nitrogen dioxide and carbon dioxide as well as volatile organic compounds(VOCs) precisely and quickly. In addition to a shrill alarm sound, a push message is also sent to the owner.
From a purely legal point of view, however, it cannot replace the usual smoke detectors. This is mainly due to the fact that the air analyser does not have battery operation and thus cannot - as prescribed - be mounted on the wall or ceiling. Otherwise, the air-Q is in no way inferior to an ordinary smoke detector.
Unlike conventional smoke detectors, however, the air-Q also measures carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and VOC gases in addition to particulates values. This means that smoke development can be detected early, reliably and much more precisely, and false alarms can be avoided.
