Operating Instructions
Real-Time Display
The monitor features a clear LED digital tube display that shows four essential metrics simultaneously:
- CO2 Value: Displays the current Carbon Dioxide concentration in Parts Per Million (PPM).
- Temperature: Shows the ambient temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).
- Humidity: Indicates the relative humidity (%RH).
- Real-Time Clock: Displays the current time (requires connection to the Govee Home app for synchronization).

Understanding CO2 Levels
The monitor provides an intuitive display of CO2 levels, often accompanied by a color-coded light bar for quick assessment:
- Good (Green): 400-1000 PPM. Indicates healthy air quality.
- Moderate (Yellow): 1000-1400 PPM. Suggests ventilation may be beneficial.
- Poor (Red): >1400 PPM. Indicates high CO2 levels, requiring immediate ventilation.
