The good news: The Awair Element shows its readings on its own display and offers a local API, so tools like Home Assistant can read it without Awair’s cloud.
The bad news: Awair has already switched off app support for its first monitors, and its marketing now focuses on businesses. Home buyers may get less attention in the future.
If you own Awair
- Connect your Element to Home Assistant through the local API, so you keep your data.
- Check the display, which works without the app.
