Chris Wellens on Nostr: Resending this .... I have three #Molekule Air Purifiers that I bought in a panic ...
Resending this .... I have three #Molekule Air Purifiers that I bought in a panic when, due to wild fires, our indoor air quality was poor. The Molekules are controlled by an app. The app works with the iPhone 12 but only intermittently with the iPhone 13. Molekule tech support recommends using the iPhone 12. (Really? Why not fix your app?) But here's the thing. The Molekule Air Purifier does NOT have any sensors to detect when the filter is full and needs to be replaced. The app gives you a message like "Filter Good: 74%". But that is based on the calendar! Not on any sampling of the debris level of the filter. Also, each Molekule has a display that could display a message: "Replace filter in one week." But they do not. My clothes dryer displays when to clean the lint filter. It has the smarts to detect that; it does not rely on the calendar; I don't need an app. So why does Molekule have an app? Do they have app developers but no embedded system developers?
