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.
