How this automation works

Automatically improve indoor air quality by turning on your fan and triggering a Virtual Button when CO2 levels get too high. This runs when your Airthings device detects CO2 above a set threshold, activating both the Virtual Button and your Nest Thermostat's fan. Ideal for smart home users who want healthier air and automated ventilation with Airthings, Virtual Buttons, and Google Nest Thermostat.
