Luftdaten Sensor

The luftdaten sensor platform will query the open data API of luftdaten.info to monitor air quality and other weather data from a specific (self build) sensor station.

To get the ID of a particle sensor you need to select it on the Feinstaub map and find it in the sidebar (Column “Sensor ID”).
To get the ID of a temperature/humidity sensor you need to find it on the map hosted on Madavi.

To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
  - platform: luftdaten
    sensorid: 3123
    monitored_conditions:
      - P1
      - P2
  - platform: luftdaten
    sensorid: 155
    monitored_conditions:
      - temperature
      - humidity

Configuration Variables

sensorid

(string)(Required)The ID of the sensor.

name

(string)(Optional)Name of the sensor to use in the frontend.

Default value: Luftdaten Sensor

monitored_conditions

(list)(Required)A list of conditions you want to monitor.

P1: Show the particle sensors (particles 10 microns and below).
P2: Show the particle sensors (particles 2.5 microns and below).
temperature: Display the temperature from the sensor.
humidity: Display the humidity from the sensor.
pressure: Display the pressure from the sensor.

Not all sensors provide all conditions. Also, it’s possible that the sensor values are not available all the time. To check what a sensor is publishing use curl:
