With Peter’s help (THANK YOU, SIR!), I got WFPiConsole working… but I don’t have an indoor temperature/humidity sensor that will link into WFPiConsole. What are people using? Tis the season to ask Santa for stuff😬
I just discovered an additional option : Airthings. They have several sensors. The “Wave” and “Wave +” might be the most interesting ones.
But as others, a local data access as well as an API are not available.
Building one myself. Particle detector (sds011) at the bottom of the box. To the left temperature humidity sensor (dht22). Nodemcu does the processing. Very easy to send the data anywhere.
More info at https://sensor.community/en/ . The kit without temperature sensor is still available for 50 euro. But as it is all open source you can buy your own sensors and processor and not the kit, if you prefer to do so.

I’m about to build a sensor for that network in the Christmas hollidays. A nice Case you have for yours. Do you have some details on it?
The instructions are pretty clear. (but I managed to connect the temp sensor the wrong way around anyway 
)the case is just a junction box for electricity (normal mains power). it is water proof, but as the unit needs some air going in and out, I cannot completely seal it.
one “outlet” contains the temp sensor, one a piece of plastic tube to connect to the particle sensor and the one to the right is just 5 v power. However I thing I’ll move the 5V power supply also inside this box, as I don’t have a weatherproof 5v connection in my patio.
I paid only 25 euro for everything as it is a subsidized kit for the area.
Here some snapshot from the html interface
Wow those are expensive. Look into Ecowitt. They have a very inexpensive gateway and super cheap sensors. They’re just coming out with air quality stuff, but it’s not as good as the much more expensive Purple Air gear. That said, there ‘is’ a weewx driver for ecowitt and it would already pick up the AQI info from the sensors, so that means their API would get you that stuff. You could go just Ecowitt for AQI and do an integrated thing with any Weather Station you wanted pretty easily.
Hi, thanks for the recommendation for the Ecowitt Sensor. I was looking for a sensor that i can integrate in the wfpiconsole. It seems that the Ecowitt Wireless Weather Station Gateway will be enough to provide the indoor data. Do you think it will be work with the piconsole out of the box?
Hi Gary,
Can you send me your code for integration of an indoor temp/humidity sensor into WfPiConsole?
Have you found an indoor temperature sensor for wfpiconsole?
