Put together a DIY air quality monitor! ( beehaw.org )

With how bad air quality has been this year, I grabbed myself a DIY AirGradient kit so I can monitor air quality in my living space. It was easy to assemble and only required a little bit of soldering knowledge. I’m definitely not proficient enough at soldering as many components ended up crooked on the board. Still works...

I unfortunately don’t, but it was basically just soldering everything together on the PCB. AirGradient provides build instructions if you get a kit.

yeah I know it’s not great for the port, but it’s light enough and small enough that it was fine for the photo

yeah it’s running firmware made by the ESPHome integration and is discoverable on homeassistant.

total ended up around $85 including shipping.

I’m planning on 3d printing a case.
