I wish there was an Elgato Eve air room monitor when my daughter Whitney was growing up.  I often put her to sleep and checked back every few minutes because I thought her bedroom smelled of smoke or of whatever the upstairs neighbor was cooking for dinner. 

I’m not the only nut. Friends now admit they did the same thing because they were concerned about the possibility of  mold and contaminated air from their own renovation projects. 

We all laughed at each other’s neuroses over the years, but most of us would have paid a few hundred dollars just to get an accurate reading on air qualities.

The Elgato Eve Room air monitor sells for $80 on the company website, Amazon, and Best Buy.

The Elgato Eve Room is Bluetooth enabled, so you can get the readings on your smartphone.
