AirGradient Go - offloading data without a smartphone?

Support
#1

I just received a Go, and have been testing it for the past 24 hours. I see there are three built-in operating modes:

  • Portable (Bluetooth - sends data to AirGradient app on phone, can stream from phone to AirGradient cloud)
  • Stationary (WiFi - sends data to AirGradient cloud only?)
  • Offline (no data comes off device)

I have two questions, then:

  1. Can I get the data off the AirGradient Go via USB-C or a direct Bluetooth or WiFi connection to a computer? Or must I use the AirGradient smartphone app?
  2. Can the Stationary mode work with Home Assistant, like I have set up with my AirGradient Ones, where it is an HA accessory, and not streaming to AirGradient’s cloud?

Welcome back @geerlingguy!

1. Can I get the data off the AirGradient Go via USB-C or a direct Bluetooth or WiFi connection to a computer? Or must I use the AirGradient smartphone app?

Currently, the most convenient way to get the data is using the AirGradient Map (smartphone app).

The local API (like in the AirGradient ONE & Open Air) is currently not available yet, but we are working on it as well as the Home Assistant support.

USB-wise, it is also possible to get the data via serial log (USB), but this is more of a device diagnostic channel than a stable air quality data logger.

Here’s an example of what is shown when you get the serial log of the AirGradient Go:

[09:14:27]temperature: 34.36
[09:14:27]humidity: 50.80

[09:14:27]charging_voltage: 4.86
[09:14:27]pressure: 1007.8
[09:14:27]altitude: 45.7

2. Can the Stationary mode work with Home Assistant, like I have set up with my AirGradient Ones, where it is an HA accessory, and not streaming to AirGradient’s cloud?

Our engineers are currently working on it with the Home Assistant team to enable support. Please stay tuned for a fully local experience! (I have also been looking forward to this feature too)

Amazing! Thank you :slight_smile:

My plan is to take the Go with me on some trips, and when I want to investigate a certain area… but otherwise have it sit in one of my rooms and send data straight to my local Home Assistant when it’s ‘idle’.

The HA integration for all my other AG devices has been top notch.

@geerlingguy exactly! The stationary mode was intended to provide the functionality that you expect. We will keep you updated once the feature is ready. (I am one of the people who are going to test this as well. So I’m quite excited to get my hands on it and let you know).

Hi @geerlingguy! Great to hear early Go feedback and questions coming in! May I ask if you have any additional feedback about the device itself, the software or the documentation in our knowledge base (whether it was straightforward or confusing), please feel free to email me at altair.irfan@airgradient.com - I will ensure your feedback is logged and implemented where possible!
