Air Quality Index Sensor Plugin for Homebridge This plugin allows you to monitor your current AirQuality from HomeKit and Siri. This is based on [Homebridge-airnow]https://github.com/ToddGreenfield/homebridge-airnow
Currently supports two AQI Services:
- Aqicn which has international support, provided by the World Air Quality Index Project.
Depending on where exactly you would like to monitor AQI, one service may be more appropriate than the other.
- Install homebridge using:
npm install -g homebridge - Install this plugin using:
npm install -g homebridge-aqicn_history - Update your configuration file like the example below.
- Ensure you have Aqicn.org API account to use that web service and have a valid API_KEY. For assistance visit http:https://aqicn.org/data-platform/token/#/.
This plugin will create an AirQualitySensor element. The Home app works well, but the Eve app seems to show more measurements. Measurements retrieved are PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO & O3
