A weatherproof outdoor air quality monitor that measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO₂, TVOCs, NOx, temperature, and humidity. Built with high‑grade sensors, open‑source firmware, and flexible data connectivity. Mountable on walls or poles.
How It Works:
- [PM1 / PM2.5 / PM10 Monitoring]: Uses the Plantower PMS5003T laser sensor for accurate particulate readings.
- [CO₂ Monitoring Outdoors]: SenseAir S8 NDIR sensor detects local emission sources that may not produce visible particles — rare in outdoor monitors.
- [TVOCs & NOx Monitoring]: Sensirion SGP41 provides advanced gas detection for traffic pollution, combustion by‑products, and chemical emissions.
- [Temperature & Humidity]: Tracks environmental conditions for complete outdoor air profiling.
- [Weatherproof ASA Enclosure]: UV‑protected, durable, and engineered for accurate airflow and minimal condensation.
- [Open‑Source Firmware]: Modify, extend, or integrate the device however you like.
- [Flexible Data Streaming]: Send data to Home Assistant, AirGradient’s platform, or any custom server.
- [Secure Mounting]: Install on walls or poles using screws or stainless‑steel zip ties, with an anti‑theft screw.
A Top Pick For:
- [Homes]: Track outdoor pollution before it enters your home.
- [Schools]: Monitor playground and roadside air quality.
- [Offices]: Identify ventilation needs and outdoor pollution spikes.
- [Commercial Sites]: Traffic, industrial, or construction monitoring.
- [Smart Home Users]: Full integration with Home Assistant.
Why We Like It:
- [CO₂ Outdoors]: Very few outdoor monitors include CO₂ — this one does.
- [Eight Key Metrics]: PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO₂, TVOCs, NOx, temperature, humidity.
- [Open‑Source Freedom]: Modify firmware, add sensors, or build custom dashboards.
- [Weatherproof & Durable]: ASA enclosure resists UV, rain, and temperature swings.
- [Flexible Data Use]: Send data anywhere — no locked ecosystem.
Care And Maintenance
- [Keep Vents Clear]: Ensure airflow is unobstructed for accurate readings.
- [Check Mounting Screws]: Tighten periodically, especially after storms.
- [Firmware Updates]: Apply AirGradient’s open‑source updates for improvements.
- [Avoid Direct Water Jets]: Weatherproof, but not designed for pressure washing.
- [Pair With Indoor Monitor]: Compare indoor vs outdoor pollution sources.
