Pyle PACO2 Overview
The Pyle PACO2 is a mid-range CO2 monitor that tracks CO2, Temperature and Humidity. It uses a NDIR sensor — the technology we recommend for reliable CO2 readings — with a stated accuracy of ±100 ppm across a 400-5000 ppm measurement range. At $85, it is aimed at budget-conscious buyers and home use.
In day-to-day use, the PACO2 offers an onboard display, so you can read levels at a glance without opening an app, plus USB connectivity for logging trends and setting alerts, plus a stationary design (USB powered) best suited to continuous monitoring in a fixed location.
