Hi there, I have just moved and now have all my airgradient devices that I need to re-connect to my new wifi.
I have a O-1PST, ONE I-9PSL and several DIY I-9PSL Models.
What is the best way of just updating the wifi credentials?
I think once it doesn’t connect to a Wifi AP it may turn on its local AP so you can reconfigure, but I don’t recall and I don’t think the documentation is great on that scenario.
The easiest way to me is to reflash the firmware and check the box to Erase before flashing and then set it up like they are new.
AirGradient ONE (I-9PSL), Open Air (O-1PST) and Open Air Max (O-M-1PPST…) Firmware Versions
This is a slightly older version, but when they first come online and report to the Dashboard it will start a firmware update process to be whatever the Dashboard is configured to send.
We’re working on gathering documentation and improving thing! For the ONE you can perhaps already use this page: Resetting Wi-Fi Config... | AirGradient Knowledge Base (This is a preview of the knowledge base in progress, so there are quite a few possible mistakes but this specific page is pretty much complete)
There are video playlists you can use as well:

Oh okay thank you! I wanted to avoid reflashing because my 3d-printed cases probably will not survive another re-open lol. Wish the usb-c power cable could be used for flashing. Thanks for responding!
Will try a factory reset as well thans @Altair_AirGradient
The ONE and Open Air models that have the ESP32-C3 chip inside can be flashed from the USB-C cable. The DIY kits that use an ESP8266 D1-Mini cannot.
If it is not too late and unless there is a reason not to, just use the same SSID and password at your new location that you had at the old. I believe the devices will reconnect without further trouble.
Nah, I have an entirely new Ubiquiti powered multi-AP setup with a dedicated IoT SSID that I don’t just want to give the same name as my previous shitty wifi setup just because some devices are tedious to move over. I also wonder if they do not bond to the MAC address of the AP that they initially connected to and not just the SSID.
Most devices are pretty good about it and enter their initial hotspot setup mode automatically.
