Here's How to Get the Ideal Temperature and Humidity
In Your Household
Did you know that your indoor climate is important not only for your well-being, but also for your health? The right temperature, air quality and humidity in your household is worth paying attention to, because a good indoor climate
- promotes healthy, restful sleep
- protects the mucous membranes and therefore prevents colds
- can help with headaches, dry eyes, and dizziness
- keeps you awake with a clear head
- reduces the risk of mold formation
Breathe With a Clear Conscience
Livy Protect helps you maintain the ideal humidity and temperature in your home and can even help you improve your air quality. The Air Monitor, which is built into the Smart Ring, keeps an eye on all three components for you - and the App immediately notifies you when something needs to be done.
3 Precise Air Quality Sensors in the Livy Protect Smart Ring

Air Quality
Fight against tobacco smoke, detergents, etc., by creating a healthy indoor climate for your home.
Optimal Indoor Climate: These Three Things Matter
Humidity
The humidity in your rooms is particularly important. If the air humidity is too low, your mucous membranes can become too dry and you can become more susceptible to colds, for example. You are most likely to notice insufficient humidity in your bedroom if you suffer from coughing, watery eyes, dry skin, or insomnia at night.
But also pay attention to the air humidity in your other rooms. Typical signs of low humidity are headaches or the reduced ability to concentrate.
However, the air humidity in your rooms should not be too high either. It can then promote the formation of mold, which in turn can cause health problems. Therefore, try to keep your air humidity in your bedroom and other living areas at an optimal state. Livy Protect will help you.
Temperature
The "ideal" room temperature is of course an individual preference. Nevertheless, bedroom temperatures that are too high can cause you to wake up feeling unrested and uncomfortable in the morning. Temperatures that are too low keep you awake at night and can therefore disturb your sleep.
Livy Protect can show you the room temperature at any time, and thus makes it easy for you to keep the optimal temperature in your bedroom.
Air Quality
Headaches, dizziness, and the reduced ability to concentrate - if these symptoms are caused by your indoor air, you can remedy them by improving your air quality. Vapors from carpets, textiles and furniture, but also from wall paint and building materials, can worsen air quality.
However, while you can easily check the temperature and even the humidity in your rooms, things become more difficult when checking air quality. This is where the Air Monitor comes in, which tells you via the App when it is time to open your windows again. This is how you can create an optimal indoor climate that supports your health.
Why Is Good Air Quality Important?
Well-Being
Low temperatures, excessive humidity or poor air quality can make you feel uncomfortable. Livy Protect measures these parameters and notifies you when there is a need for action.
Health
Headaches, tiredness, lack of motivation, coughing, allergies or asthma can be the consequences of a bad air quality. To ensure a healthy indoor climate in your home, Livy Protect alerts you when the air quality needs improvement.
Sleep
Fresh air in your bedroom is essential for a good night's sleep. With Livy Protect you can check your air levels and make sure that you maintain the recommended temperature and air quality to improve your sleep.
Productivity
The quality of your air also influences the productivity and concentration of you and your family. Create an ideal working environment in your home, so that your children can do their homework better and prepare for their exams in good conditions.
5 Tips to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Here is how to increase your room humidity
Make sure that the humidity in your home does not fall below 40%. Indoor plants such as Cyprus grass, papyrus plants, green lily or indoor linden, and possibly also humidifiers, can help you. A very simple tip: Leave the bathroom door open after showering or bathing. Also flat containers with water, which are placed on a radiator, can contribute to an optimal air humidity in the room.
Here is how to decrease your room humidity
The ideal air humidity should not exceed 70% - especially if your room temperature is rather low. If the humidity gets too high, it is best to ventilate your living quarters regularly and thoroughly. If that is not enough, you can fill bowls with household salt (fine-grained or coarse-grained table salt, that contains neither iodine nor fluoride) and distribute them throughout the room. Also, open the windows while showering or cooking.
Correct ventilation in winter
The warm and dry air that comes from your heater in winter often lowers the humidity. Therefore air out the room in the morning after getting up and in the evening before going to bed for about 10 minutes each (or several times during the day for about 5 minutes). It is important here that you fully open the windows and not just slightly open them.
Correct ventilation in summer
Since warm air in summer absorbs more moisture than cold air in winter, this can often contribute to high humidity. To avoid the very humid summer air, it is best to completely open the window very early in the morning for only 20 minutes as well as late in the evening.
Here is how to improve your air quality
Volatile organic compounds are the reason for "bad air." They are produced by human metabolism, but are also produced by tobacco smoke, artificial materials, furniture, detergents, disinfectants, and more.
Livy Protect can detect a excessive concentration of such compounds and warns you of it via the Livy App. In this case, thoroughly airing out your living area for at least 20 to 30 minutes will help. The App will show you when the value is back to normal.
