Open Air (Model O-1PST) is an outdoor air quality monitor enabling you to know if the air quality is healthy or not. It measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, TVOCs, NOX, Temperature and Humidity.

It’s fully open-source and customizable, so you can extend it in whatever way you like.

Now with native Home Assistant support.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 90% of the people breathe unhealthy air. Air pollution is the biggest driver of premature death of all environmental health risks. With climate change and the warming of the planet, air pollution, e.g. through wildfires are also increasingly becoming a major issue in regions with previously very clean air.

Air quality can quickly fluctuate between good and unhealthy levels and thus a dense network of air quality monitors ensures that people know when they need to protect their health. The Open Air outdoor monitor keeps you always informed about the air you breathe.

The Open Air is one of the first low-cost air quality monitors that includes a CO2 sensor which allows the identification of local emission sources -which might not always emit large amounts of particles and therefore not always visible with the PM data.

he monitor measures PM, CO2, TVOCs, NOX, Temperature and Humidity.

The PM sensor (Plantower PMS5003T) measures particulate matter, especially smaller particles like PM1 and PM2.5 have the potential to cause significant harm to our well-being. These tiny particles are released into the air through various sources such as vehicle emissions, industrial activities, burning of fossil fuels or wildfires. When inhaled, these small particles can penetrate deep into our respiratory system, leading to a range of health issues. Long-term exposure to PM2.5 has been linked to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, including asthma, bronchitis, heart attacks, and even premature death.

The CO2 sensor (SenseAir S8) can give you valuable information about local emission sources. These elevated CO2 levels can then also indicate other harmful gases that are often emitted with CO2 like SO2, NO and NO2. These emissions are not always visible with only measuring PM due to for example good filters in power plants or factories. Another use case is to detect leakage from underground carbon storage facilities. Please note that the sensor is not accurate enough to measure the exact atmospheric CO2 increases (currently around 430ppm), however our tests show a very high agreement with reference instruments.

The monitor also includes the Sensirion SGP41 TVOCs, NOX sensor. This sensor shows relative spikes in total volatile organic components and NOX based on the Sensirion VOC Index. Even though VOCs are typically associated with indoor sources, VOCs can also occur outdoors for example emitted from chemical factories, petrol stations, natural gas leakages, burning of garbage etc. Please note that VOCs are also triggered by harmless substances like ethanol or sunscreen. So an elevated value does not necessarily mean a harmful event.
