Desktop solution
Built for local monitoring with the HibouAir Desktop Solution
The HibouAir Desktop Solution includes the desktop application and BLE USB dongle. Together, they allow users to scan nearby HibouAir devices, view live air quality readings and retrieve historical measurements directly from the device. It is a practical option for local monitoring, inspections, research, reporting and cost-effective air quality projects.
The desktop application is designed to work with the BLE USB dongle included in the HibouAir
Desktop Solution package.
Available for macOS and Windows

Scans nearby HibouAir devices in real time
Exports CSV and advanced reports
Local scanning
Scan nearby devices and view live air quality data
After connecting the BLE USB dongle, the desktop application scans and lists nearby HibouAir devices in real time. Users can see device type, status and current air quality values. For larger deployments, devices can be filtered by type or board ID.
Nearby device list
View detected HibouAir devices with type, board ID, online/offline status and live readings.
Filter by type or board ID
Quickly find the device you need when several sensors are nearby.
Real-time refresh
Use the scan action to update air quality values from nearby devices.
Dashboard widgets
Build your own monitoring dashboard
The desktop application includes a customizable dashboard where users can choose which HibouAir devices appear as widgets. Select as many nearby devices as needed, remove devices you do not want to monitor, and rearrange widgets so the most important rooms or sensors are visible first.
Select devices for the dashboard
Show multiple devices at a glance
Remove devices from the dashboard
Reorder widgets based on priority
Keep important rooms visible
Add Virus Index widget when PM and CO₂ devices are selected
Historical data
Read historical data directly from the device
Users can open a device detail view and read historical data stored on the HibouAir device. The application presents the data in clear charts, and users can hover over chart points to view exact values and timestamps.
Historical data is stored while the device is powered on. If a device has just been turned on, it
needs time to collect readings before historical charts are available.
Device detail view
Open a nearby device and review its real-time readings before accessing stored data.
Historical chart view
View stored measurements in charts for easier trend analysis.
Hover details
Hover over chart points to see exact parameter values and timestamps.
Reports
Export CSV data and advanced air quality reports
The desktop application supports data export for further analysis. Users can export CSV files with neatly formatted sensor values, or create advanced reports that include parameter charts and raw data tables for a selected device.
CSV export
Export sensor values in CSV format for further analysis, charting or importing into other platforms.
Advanced report
Generate advanced reports with detailed charts for device parameters and raw measurement data.
Shareable documentation
Use reports for inspections, research, internal documentation, building reviews or air quality studies.
Virus Index
Real-time Virus Index widget
The desktop application can display an AI-based real-time Virus Index widget when the required device data is available, such as selected PM and CO₂ devices. The widget can be shown on the dashboard, opened in full-screen mode and updated automatically every minute without user interaction.
PM and CO₂ based insight
Select the required PM and CO₂ devices to enable the Virus Index widget.
Full-screen mode
Open the widget in full-screen mode for continuous display.
Automatic updates
The widget updates every minute without user input.
Easy removal
Remove the widget whenever it is no longer needed.
Device settings
Manage device details and custom names
When managing several devices, identifying sensors only by board ID can be difficult. The desktop application allows users to assign custom names such as Conference Room, Laboratory or Office Area, making devices easier to recognize across the application.
Custom device names
Rename devices so they are easier to identify in the sensor list and dashboard.
Device details
View useful device information such as part number and firmware version.
Reset application
Clear settings and restart the application when you need a fresh start.
Storage interval
Control historical storage interval
The desktop application can configure how often compatible HibouAir devices store historical data. Users can set the interval in minutes and use the built-in simulator to estimate how many days of data will be available.
Set storage interval in minutes
Balance high-resolution data with longer storage
duration
Estimate available storage days with simulator
Compatibility check before applying settings
Older firmware uses the default interval
automatically
Interval configuration requires compatible HibouAir firmware, such as version 2.6x or newer.
For older firmware versions, the default interval will be used automatically. For example,
setting the storage interval to 15 minutes can allow the device to store almost three weeks
of historical data, depending on model and configuration.
