Your data, your hardware, your choice

Read your data in three apps, or build your own open-source solution. With open protocols and open-source software, the sensor isn't locked to a single platform, cloud or vendor.

  1. Altruist.local

    The web app built into the device, on your Wi-Fi network. No servers involved.

  2. Home Assistant

    Integration with one of the most popular smart home platforms. Needs a local Home Assistant server.

  3. sensors.social

    Community map with extended analytics and history, built on Robonomics, an open-source cloud rather than a single vendor's.

MQTT and API for your own integrations.

Looking for an air quality sensor? Compare what matters

It's not just about counting sensors: it's how you use the data, where it goes and how much freedom you have after you buy. Altruist covers indoor and outdoor air, tracks noise and connects to Home Assistant. 3D-printed, replaceable enclosures and a repair kit let you repair and upgrade instead of replacing the whole device.
