I got the pro kit and it really is very easy to assemble. I want to connect it to my HomeAssistant server but apparently that requires manual configuration (firmware update? just config change? I'm not sure) by plugging it into the HA server directly. It does have a web portal but apparently that goes away once you give it your WiFi password. I wish I could configure it from the web interface instead of being funneled to the cloud service which I reject on principle.
- ahaucnx 3y agoYou can connect the monitor directly to your home assistant. Many people do this and use ESPHome with the AirGradient configuration file [1].

Feel free to reach out to me if you need any support.
