Matter V1.2 is now released and there is support for Air Quality Sensors.

Any interest from PurpleAir to support the standard?

I would very much like to see this.

2.5 years later and still nothing. Matter over Thread support would also be great. There’s not that much data to send/receive, so the lower power would be much appreciated.

Matter is a possibility with future devices, but for now, the best way to stream data to your smart home setup will be to use:

  • The API (free for sensor owners) — Home Assistant has an integration for PurpleAir that leverages this.
  • Local JSON – Data from your PurpleAir accessible directly on your network.

I too was interested in this. With the help of AI and existing projects I was able to create a very early proof of concept (POC).

If you are comfortable with computers and doing some manual setup give this a try.

  1. You’ll need this project setup and configured first: purpleair_data_logger/README.md at main · carlkidcrypto/purpleair_data_logger · GitHub . Version 1.5.0a1 is available from pypi. purpleair-data-logger · PyPI
  2. Then you’ll need to install and setup the nmp matter bridge here: purpleair_data_logger/matterbridge-purpleair at main · carlkidcrypto/purpleair_data_logger · GitHub. I am working on getting this published to npm next.
  3. If anything isn’t documented or needs more context/explanation do let me know or open a PR to help out :slight_smile: .
  4. Fair warning this is FRESH OF THE PRESS. Things may not be correct especially the AQI conversions.
