How this automation works

Automatically change your VMC Italia fan speed when your air-Q sensor detects air quality above or below your chosen threshold. This helps maintain a healthy indoor environment by increasing ventilation when the air becomes stale or polluted. For example, boost airflow automatically when CO₂ or particulate matter levels rise.
