Insight desk mode and night analytics

  • firmware
  • altruist
  • insight

Desk mode puts one reading on the e-paper at a time, with a 6-hour graph after it. Analytics lets you choose a night comfort score or a CO2-focused night view.

The default Insight main screen still shows everything at once. That is useful at a glance, and hard to read from across the room.

Insight now has Desk — one metric, large, then a graph of the last six hours — and a choice of what the Analytics screen should be: the night comfort score, or a CO2-centered night review.


Desk mode

Local → Screen mode, switch Main screen to Desk. Header and sidebar stay the same. The body becomes a carousel.

Screen mode: Default or Desk

Each metric has two beats:

  1. A large current value (and a short status word: Good / Elevated / High / Low)
  2. A full-width graph of the last 6 hours

Then the next metric. Numbers stay for 60 seconds by default; the graph stays 30 seconds. The numbers interval is in the same settings (30–300 s).

Which slides

Checkboxes under Desk slides. Unchecked slides are skipped. One slide — the screen stays there (CO2 only, for example).

SlideWhat you see
AirPM2.5 and PM10, then a graph for each
Climate UrbanOutdoor temperature and humidity
Climate InsightIndoor temperature and humidity
CO2Indoor CO2
NoiseAverage and max, then one graph with both
PressureUrban and Insight, if both are there

Standalone Insight hides the Urban-only slides (air, noise, outdoor climate).

The graph is an hourly line, not a wait-for-six-hours screen: empty hours stay on the axis, the line connects across gaps. A peak mark sits on the true high. After a reboot the current hour can look empty until the sensor publishes again — older hours stay.

A QR on the graph opens that metric on sensors.social.


Analytics: night score or CO2

The settings block is now Analytics (it used to be Sleep analytics). Two screens, same night window:

OptionWhat the e-paper shows
Night scoreA circle score — temperature, humidity, CO2, PM2.5 and noise
CO2 analysisNight CO2 as hourly bars, VOC spikes, a CO2-only face, then a QR

CO2 analysis is the default, so a device you already use does not jump to a different analytics layout after the update. Switch to Night score if you want the circle score.

Analytics: Night score or CO2 analysisInsight Analytics: CO2 night view

How the CO2 screen reads:

  • Each bar is that hour’s max CO2
  • The bar fills when the peak is ≥ 1000 ppm
  • Minutes above 1000 come from how much of the hour was over that line (≥ 90% of the samples counts as the whole hour)
  • Face: Good / Elevated / High for CO2 only (High if max ≥ 2000 ppm, Elevated if at least 30 minutes over 1000)
  • VOC is a spike count for this night window

The older Night score model is unchanged in spirit; the full write-up is Insight Sleep Analytics. One update: a noise peak hour is now > 40 dBA (it was 45).

Night window

Default is 22:00–07:00 local. Set any start and end in Analytics settings. The window is at most 12 hours — a longer range is clipped from the start so the bars still fit. The end hour is drawn (22:00–10:00 shows a 10 o’clock bar).


If something looks off

If a slide is blank, a graph caption looks wrong, or the night window does not match what you set, open an issue at github.com/airalab/altruist-firmware and include the version from Status → Technical details.
