Calibrated PM2.5 in Home Assistant?

I’m using the AirGradient integration in Home Assistant with two AG One’s and an Open Air. The two AG One’s need batch-specific PMS5003 calibrations. Is there any way to get this calibrated data into home assistant? The PM2.5 data that Home Assistant is getting from the device doesn’t match the AirGradient dashboard data.

Please make sure you have the latest HA and firmware version. As far as I know, the data should match.

I’m on the latest AirGradient firmware (3.2.0 according to the dashboard), and auto-update is selected. Home Assistant is also the latest release.

I’ll upload screenshots for comparison. Annoyingly the forum doesn’t let me attach multiple images to a single post, so I’ll have to make multiple posts. Here’s the AirGradient Dashboard for the last 24 hours:

Here’s the Home Assistant data for the same period:

I’m not sure if I have my settings correct. I do have the right PMS5003 corrections selected in the AirGradient Dashboard, but I don’t have the EPA checkbox selected. I’m not sure if that is needed or if it is recommended. In Home Assistant, I also have the device set to “Local configuration” instead of “Cloud configuration”. I’m not sure if this makes a difference. Here are screenshots of the two configurations:

I’ve also noticed that the home assistant PM2.5 data seems very spikey, with lots of zeros in-between data points. This doesn’t look right to me, compared to the AirGradient dashboard.

Thanks for the help with this issue!

I believe you need the ha config set to cloud
