Just ordered a SmartAir SA600…

Amanda Bennett @amandabennett.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

And emitting ozone… I’ve been down a Reddit rabbit hole! Yeah my Homedics I can’t sleep through even with ear plugs. The Philips night mode is almost silent but no air movement 🤔

Fab. I have original Homedics running but it is loud. I bought the Philips 1000i but not happy with the whirring so sending it back. Will try Smartair I think. Was looking at Blueair and Conway but mixed reviews and terrible TrustPilot scores

Interesting that it is even worse by you vs us in East London

Closed windows don’t make much difference to me as I have draughty Victorian sash windows with single glazing and chimneys in every room!

Yes I agree, it has taken a very dark turn with all his meddling. I’ve emailed a local councillor about the wood burners as the whole area stinks of smoke and the readings tonight are madness.

Hey, sorry! Forgot to look back for answers as I mostly use Twitter 🤦‍♀️. It definitely seems to be cooking and cooking with alcohol (beef in ale) made it go crazy. Annoyingly someone has a wood burner and my road stinks of smoke, so if I open a window the PM value goes sky high 😡

I’m totally puzzled as I couldn’t smell cooking smells upstairs. Also it cleared pretty fast on its own upstairs, once I’d stopped cooking but has freaked me out as an air quality score of 0/100, when normally nearly perfect, is very worrying. If anyone has ideas, let me know!

I put the air purifier on downstairs which showed high PM levels which dropped to low/good over around ten mins thanks to the purifier. Bedroom readings stayed catastrophic. About an hour later I brought the monitor downstairs and air quality was good. Took it upstairs, now fine.

My brother brought me an Echo Air Quality Monitor. Been using it and air quality general excellent at 95+ out of 100. Low PM, low VOCs apart from occasional mild spike. Then this happened today. I was cooking casserole but the monitor is in my upstairs bedroom so puzzled 🤔

Screenshot of app showing air quality as 0 out of 100, ie catastrophically bad.

App showing 100 out of scale of 0-100 in VOCs, so also catastrophically bad

Yes! I mean they give off a decent lantern light but they aren’t spotlight bright

I got mine solar garden lanterns for her birthday! No idea for Christmas… will steal ideas Anna receives 😂

I must be thinking of Mastodon. Anyhoo, all sorted now.

Everything seems to be working fine now that I’ve updated the app (which also prompted me to verify my email). One of those amazing times when updating the app actually DOES solve everything 😂

Amanda Bennett @amandabennett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

All good now. Needed to update the app. Thanks for the starter packs 😊

Amanda Bennett @amandabennett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Tip for anyone having trouble with search or finding people, particularly if you downloaded the app a long time ago and haven’t used it (like me). Check if the app needs updating. Update solved all my issues. (Obvious, but only if you think of it).

Amanda Bennett @amandabennett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Aha! I needed to update the app. Doh

Hi Katharina, any idea why I get page not found when clicking on the start pack links? My search isn’t working either.

Amanda Bennett @amandabennett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Hmm. I clicked on both starter pack links and it said page not found

Amanda Bennett @amandabennett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

I wondered if it was only searching a subset/network… Did we have to choose a network when we joined or was that Mastadon? I joined both so long ago and haven’t used them so it is all a blur now! Glad it isn’t just me though 😉

Amanda Bennett @amandabennett.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

This is a pretty rubbish first post, but why can’t I find anyone via search? I’m having to find people by looking through mutuals’ followers lists 🧐

I’m still posting on X for now, but just getting ready over here!

Finally joined up after messing up my first attempt at using a code 🤦‍♀️. Now to find everyone again
