Your location — your unique air
Public maps rely on a few monitoring stations, often near major roads or in other parts of the city. Air quality, noise, temperature and humidity change from one street to another. Altruist Urban measures the environment where you actually live.
Meet air quality monitor Altruist Urban
Years of environmental monitoring experience shaped a device built to help you understand the real conditions around your home — not generalized city averages.
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.
Altruist.local
The web app built into the device, on your Wi-Fi network. No servers involved.
Home Assistant
Integration with one of the most popular smart home platforms. Needs a local Home Assistant server.
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.

Real sensor data from communities around the world: AQI, history, color-coded charts and outdoor noise. Add your sensor and join the community building a common-good air dataset.
Open the map →Rich air quality charts at your service
Track PM2.5, PM10, noise, temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure in real time, or explore history by day, week or month on sensors.social. You choose in the settings whether your Altruist shares its data publicly.
