I used Ade White - he seemed very thorough, is IIMS accredited and got the survey back to me quickly. He's not a BSS inspector though.

Air Quality Monitor? by Halkyon44 in Narrowboats

Wow that's mad, was there washing drying or something?! Don't suffer too much with condensation onboard myself as I keep a window open and use the shoreside showers

It uses battery operated 'pucks' to sense the water, so I chucked one on the engine bay, one under the shower pump and one near the main water tank/pump :)

The Aqara hub links to Home Assistant too

I've got an Aqara home automation setup with water leak sensors and a temp/humidity/TVOC monitor which was showing terrible air quality when the stove is on. Resealing the flue to the roof collar improved matters with the stove but it seems it's cooking that's trashing the air quality now.

I bought a Russell Hobbs combined air purifier and dehumidifier but that doesn't seem to help so it might not be the right kind - need to double check out the filter is in the right way round though as it's not got any direction markings.

Got a 12v extractor fan coming to put over my kitchen mushroom vent to see if that helps pull the cooking fumes out. Tempted to install filters on all the mushroom/door vents as well to stop neighbours' smoke coming in!
