Smoke detection is a beta feature only supported indoors on the M3 sensors.
How does Smoke detection work?
Turn Smoke detection ON
The sensor will enter a Calibration mode
(You will be notified via email once the calibration has been completed)(Keep in mind that during the calibration mode you will not receive any alerts)
Once the calibration period is over, Minut will start monitoring indoor air for cigarette & marijuana smoke.
When cigarette & marijuana smoke is detected, you will get notified via a push notification on your phone and an email (if you have email alerts enabled)
Reminder: During the calibration mode you will not receive any cigarette alerts
Please keep in mind that the smoke detection feature requires exposure to cigarette & marijuana smoke for approximately 10-15 minutes in order to detect smoke.
Simply blowing on the device to test it will not trigger the detection
