Re: Open Source Outdoor Air Quality Monitor
#2I'm the founder of AirGradient and last year we have decided to focus our company on open hardware air quality monitors that we produce professionally.
Our outdoor monitor Open Air has been designed from the start as an open hardware project with a beautiful plastic injected enclosure to demonstrate that open source hardware can look and perform on the same level like traditional products.
We do also work intensively with research institutions around the world to test the monitor and ensure that the monitors are as accurate as possible [1].
Happy to answer any question that might come up.

Do you have an indoor version?

Yes, we also have a popular open-hardware, open-source indoor air quality monitor that measures CO2, PM, Temperature and Humidity. You can also get an optional TVOC module that can measure chemicals and NOx.
This version we currently only sell as a pre-soldered kit [1] but it is very easy to assemble (no need to solder anything) and you just need to plug a few modules together and close the enclosure with a few screws.

#5Time for the usual reminder that there is a search function on the bottom of every single YC page.
Air gradient has been extensively discussed here multiple times already.

#6If the device worked with ZigBee, I would get it immediately. However, it seems to support only WiFi, which means if someone gains physical access to the AirQuality monitor (which isn't exactly difficult since it is placed outside), they can potentially extract the WiFi password and gain full access to my network.

#7I'd be a buyer if you had an indoor unit with a radon sensor.

We have looked into adding a radon sensor but it is very difficult to get an off-the-shelf radon module in the market that is reasonably priced.
If any of you can recommend a module I would be very interested to hear.

I think the website is very unclear about what you get, other than part names. What can the pro do that the normal can't do? Can I connect the TVOC to the non-pro?

Awesome work! Do you have any plans to add/track gas pollutants?
I run a similar open source app specifically for my little community in Gary, IN https://millerbeach.community and run a RAMP monitor provided by a local company Sensit Technologies, and a PurpleAir II and have about ~4 years worth of data in 15 min intervals. I've been meaning to swap out the PurpleAir with another, but I'll swap it out with this instead!
