Happy user here. I started with 2 of the BT connected widgets, that used my phone to upload to the cloud. I then added to the Airthing View Plus which does wifi, BT, and if you plug a cable in will act as a gateway from bluetooth to the airthings web service.

Seems like a cool company, and have seen things like forest fires, using a gas stove, and burning things while cooking all correlate with readings. In particular I noticed that 3am in my bedroom has a pretty big CO2 spike. I also monitored radon before, during, and after some radon mitigation.

I really like that at least some of their units allow exporting their data to graphana, without any cloud involvment. I'm unsure if the view plus does the same though.

So for the HN crowd, lots of sensors, can use a raspberry pi as a gateway, your phone, or a turn key view plus. Graphana support is a big plus and you don't have to use any cloud service if you don't want to.

I do wish they had a carbon monoxide sensor.
