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 though lol.

In the picture it's running ESPHome with the configuration from ajfriesen on GitHub.

That noice but I can't get over then holding it by the USBC connector... how in a right mind would you do that ?

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

I can understand that logically but that strike some thing which forced me react... Is it connected ? And is it linkable with homeassistant ?

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