I now can tell some experiences for the Air-Q device. First impression is, that it is a high quality equipment. The company is located at the university campus of the Technical University of Chemnitz, and they do some research regarding air quality measurement.
The MQTT configuration requires some knowledge in Python, as that configuration options are not included in the configuration tool but have to applied by an API. The documentation is excellent. But there are examples only, how to use the API, and you need to write a short script to set the option of your own. "Science" option is needed for that to work. A simpler approach is to read the value page from the web interface by wget or curl, then get the values out of the HTML data by some script and write it to a text file, that in turn can be read by WeeWX. No special option is needed for that to work. Smoke/fire detector is included in the device. If activated the device can warn in case of smoke or fire by a loud tone. The manufacturer provides detailed information about sensor accuracy. So I can finally recommend the device. Karen K schrieb am Dienstag, 18.
