The huawei are filters have integrated sensors and with a bit of hassle the info can be extracted. Some people don’t like huawei gear but I’ve found the hardware at least to be good



I found something on AliExpress that seems to send data over Bluetooth. I don't what kind of effort it would take to capture that data if I have a RaspBerry Pi with Bluetooth.

The huawei stuff is generally addressable via LAN using home assistant etc.

Can be a bit tricky to get hold of the security tokens but at least doesn’t involve re inventing any wheels. One is very much at the mercy of firmware updates blocking diy access. General recommendation is not to update.

Plus US crowd is pretty paranoid on huawei stuff ofc


Well, I am not planning to let my air quality monitor connect to the internet, let alone to my home network where my computing devices are. So, there’s that.

If the huawei thing is accessible in the local network, that is almost exactly what I want. I can connect it to a raspberry Pi on an isolated network and extract the data I need. Thanks for the tip.
