I am after monitoring Environment/Weather Air Quality in two forms.
Pollen, tree and grass (because I have allergies)
Smoke, bush fire (because I live in Australia and the bush fire season is crazy this year).
Is anyone aware of any features to get them into HASS?
With regards to air quality I can highly recommend the luftdaten.info project. I wrote up how I built my own sensor and integrated it into HA. I live in Sydney and this sensor has turned out to be extremely useful over the last couple of weeks.
How much did this cost you to make? Looks interesting. I have an official NSW station about 1km from here, but I’d like to have another just to compare.
I’d estimate about AU$60 in total. $30 for the air quality sensor, $5 for the temperature sensor and $10 for the ESP - all from China. And then about $15 for the case parts from Bunnings.
If you have never done any such project you may need to add $10 more for sundries. I still had stuff like cables, connectors, plastic mesh, plastic tube from previous projects.
Cheers mate. Might look into it for my next project.
interesting and cool, I allos just found this… maybe an integration; https://www.dpie.nsw.gov.au/air-quality/air-quality-alerts
Maybe there is also a fire-danger-level per area API as well.
Well, it’s your luck day. I’ve integrated that already with a custom component:
nice, I have it going and working… Maybe get it merged into HASS?
I also found this; https://www.dpie.nsw.gov.au/air-quality/maps/live-air-quality-data-lower-hunter-and-central-coast Should maybe rig it into HASS also.
Looks like NSW uses the AQI form of air quality measurement, easiest way to do that would be via the built-in WAQI component. Personally for me in Melbourne I went straight to the Vic EPA since they moved on from the AQI method in 2019.
In domogik for french user we where using this site to get pollens by deps:

Do not know hos to integrate it in HA.
