Automation Recipe: Remote Air Quality Monitor and Control

Description: This recipe automatically turns ON your Swidget connected ERV when your air quality drops below a certain level and turns OFF your Swidget connected ERV when air quality improves. 

Before you begin: You must have installed an ERV with a Swidget 20/40/60 Control Switch or Auxiliary Control Switch with one of Swidget's Wi-Fi Inserts connected to the Boost terminal on the ERV. You must also have installed another Swidget Device and paired a Swidget Air Quality Insert to act as the remote.
