Build your own accurate air quality monitor with the build instructions below. You can either source the components yourself or get a ready-to-build kit from our online shop.
You can use it with the AirGradient data platform or connect it to other platforms like Home Assistant or HomeKit. More information on our Integrations Page.
Professional and highly accurate air quality monitor built measuring PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOCs, NOX, temperature and humidity. Board allows a lot of extensibility for other sensors e.g. barometric pressure.

Build Instructions Purchase KitWe are continuously updating our open hardware / open source air quality monitor kits and as a results have different versions of the built instructions.
Read MoreThis page helps in reading out data directly from the AirGradient monitor. For good error analysis, please log at least 3 minutes of data.
Read MoreWe use the PMS5003T version for our outdoor monitor Open Air which includes an integrated temperature and humidity sensor. If you use the Arduino Sketch from the AirGradient Arduino library you need to patch the PMS library to get these values.
Read MoreConnecting the monitor to the AirGradient Dashboard is a two-step process. You need to connect your monitor to the WiFi network and register it on the dashboard.
Read MoreWhen we launched our indoor classroom monitoring with our professional sensors, one of the first feature request from teachers was to have a small display that would show the indoor and outdoor air quality.
