Readme

Code for running DIY AirGradient sensor. Modified from this original arduino code

Differences compared to original code:

• A lot of overall code changes not individually listed
• Pushes data to mqtt server instead of arigradient
• Properly rotates the display (at least my unit had display rotated 180 degrees, this is easily adjustible)
• Add human readable AQI value
• PlatformIO/cpp support instead of Arduino IDE/ino format.
• Implemented Home Assistant auto discovery
  • Sensor values are pushed to Home Assistant via MQTT and automatically discovered
  • Display can be turned on/off via Home Assistant
  • Sensor updates can be manually triggered via Home Assistant
• Average values before sending to mqtt
• Improved error handling/wifi reconnecting
• Handle errorous sensor readings such as negative values or values that are not within the expected range for normal environment

How to use

Clone repo, modify src/config.h.example with your values and rename it to config.h, install dependencies, and build/deploy main.cpp

macOS

brew install platformio
git clone https://github.com/nikolak/mqtt-airgradient
cd mqtt-airgradient
cp src/config.h.example src/config.h
# edit src/config.h
pio run --environment d1_mini_lite
# if it compiles ok, deploy to device
pio run --target upload --environment d1_mini_lite
# you can monitor the device with this command:
pio device monitor --environment d1_mini_lite

Hardware used

I only have access to the following hardware, that I've used to test this code:

• AirGradient DIY Pro PCB v3.3
• Wemos D1 Mini v4
• 1.3" OLED display (OLED #2 spot on the PCB, pre-soledered by AirGradient)
• Plantower PMS5003
• Senseair S8 CO2
• SHT31
