Integrate Outdoor AirGradient measurements into ESPHome e-Paper display

Software integrations
#1

Hi everyone,

I would like to show the airgradient values on my e-Paper display, which is going to be connected to my ESP32 board with ESPHome. Is there a way to retrieve the measurements of my outdoor airgradient sensor into the ESPHome *.yaml code?

Setup:

  • Home Assistant up and running on Raspberry Pi 5 8GB.
  • Berrybase ESP32 board connected and running
  • BME680 sensor connected to ESP32 board and running for internal measurements
  • 7.3" 7-color e-Paper display (not running and not yet connected)

Plan: I would like to show outside and inside sensor values on my e-Paper display via ESPHome (Berrybase ESP32 board). See actual fritzing sketch in the attachment.
Status: The airgradient measurements are showing on my Home Assistant dashboard. I also got the BME680 working and showing all its values on the Home Assistant Dashboard as well.

Problem 1: I’m having problems how to retrieve the values from the Airgradient outdoor device and integrate them into the ESPHome builder. I need to do this, to my understanding, so I’ll be able to show them on the e-Paper display.

Can somebody help me with this? I couldn’t find any documentation about the Airgradient integration into ESPHome over WiFi, or I’m misunderstanding something here. :upside_down_face:

I think this is going to be more of a native ESPHome and HomeAssistant question.
The AirGradient integration will send the values to HA just like any other integration.

Your project will be how to get any data from HA and display it using your Esphome device. Might search around those two projects forums or discord for any other project retrieving data from HA and displaying it.

I don’t have any experience with it, but interested in doing something similar for an always on display in my kitchen to show the outdoor temps.
