    This was super helpful! I bought the Atem w/Car & Desk accessories 4 years ago when I learned I was exposed to biotoxins (i.e. molds, actinomycetes, endotoxins) and was highly sensitive. This was a lifesaver and the easy portabiilty was great as I had to move to different locations. I came looking for a video like this since I learned my home again has biotoxins causing illness (CIRS) for me and family members and wanted to use the Atem again in my car. As I am moving items in my car to the garage at the clean home (for proper wipe down before allowing them in my clean home), I realized that I want to ensure these organisms aren't in the air in my car. I am missing the plug and wasn't sure if the straps were intact. Your video was more helpful than the resources on IQAir's website to show me exactly what I need to get this working again. Thank you!!! And I love IQAir. Have multiple of their large HealthProPlus units.

    Why does mine work so terribly regarding particle counts?? I can literally place it on top of the dog beds where there is visible dust accumulation, dog comes and lay there (Great Dane and Doberman in same place who wrestle in the DIRT covered back yard) and even though I place it on continuous monitor from the advanced menu, it still says ZERO particles!!! I literally have to blast AC air into the hole of it for it to start registering any kind of higher particle counts. So if you want to measure particles to prove to your husband we need more filters and that we need to fix the terrible backyard made of dirt (replace with fake grass or SOMETHING) then this device will only prove there is NO problem at all when the accumulation of dirt and dust in a matter of 2 days after dusting and then you see pure brown dirt particles on your rag, then maybe buy this unit to prove there is no dirt or dust problem in your home (ignorance is bliss, right?)! This device only works to measure CO2 and maybe temp but NOT particles at all (which was why I spent 300 wasted dollars on it to begin with!!! 🤦🏻)!

    I recently purchased two Echo Studio's and a Subwoofer. The audio is nice (i.e., bass, mid range and treble) when playing music from Amazon Music; however, whenever, I play movies, the volume is too low. I can hear the sound all around me; however, I wish it was louder. I feel like I’ve tried everything such as: • While in Home Theater mode, the only audio setting available is Dolby Digital Plus. The PCM and Dolby Digital options are greyed out. • Under Devices of the Alexa app, I selected the Echo Studio and confirmed all three speakers are paired. I increased the volume to the max setting. • Under audio settings on my Fire TV Cube, I toggled both the Volume Leveller and Dialogue Enhancer on and off. • Under audio settings In the Alexa app, I toggled the “spatial audio” on and off. • I restarted my Fire TV Cube (even unplugging it) Have anyone else experienced low volume using the Alexa Home Theater? Is so, any suggestions on how to fix the issue? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I’m also an apple person, so I was trying to run my Apple TV an Xbox through the sync box.. So would love to see a video of how you hooked all that stuff up together…

    How good is it to use essential oils with it? Because vocolinc did specify to use water soluble essential oils which most of them being sold on the net (Amazon etc) aren't water soluble. Does it damage the device to use the regular essential oils?
