Airgeek M1

Airgeek M1 is an air quality sensing module for makers, DIYers, OEMs and other hackers who want to bring high-end environmental sensing into their own products and projects.

Instead of starting from scratch, you can build on a complete and proven measurement platform. This makes Airgeek M1 a practical starting point for projects that need reliable air quality data with less development overhead.

Specifications

Measured parameters & Sensors

Airgeek A1 measures the following air quality indicators:

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentration
Particulate Matter (PM₁ and PM_2.5) concentration. A PM₁₀ value is derived from the PM₁ and PM_2.5 measurements by the sensor.
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂) concentration in the ppb range
Carbon Monoxide (CO) concentration in the ppb range
Temperature & Relative Humidity
Atmospheric pressure

Please refer to What Airgeek Measures And Why for details about these air quality indicators. For detailed information about the sensors used, please refer to the full tech spec.

Connectivity

Airgeek M1 supports the following connectivity standards:

UART communication over a simple text-oriented protocol
NFC used with the completely free Airgeek app
Matter over Thread, or Zigbee used for optional smart home connectivity
Can also be used completely offline with just NFC for enhanced privacy and security.

Power Supply

180 μA average @ 3.3 V
0.8–3.3 V supply voltage range
Power consumption can be lower or higher, depending on configuration

The Airgeek Platform in Compact Form

Airgeek M1 shares the same electronics as Airgeek A1, but is streamlined for integration. By omitting the batteries, using a smaller NFC antenna and removing the display connector, we reduced both the size and weight of the device without changing its core sensing capabilities. This makes M1 easier to embed into custom hardware while preserving the same Airgeek foundation.

This makes Airgeek M1 a practical choice for products and prototypes where space, weight and design flexibility matter. Thanks to the same BMV080 sensor used in Airgeek A1, the module has no moving parts and requires no fan for PM measurement. This makes it particularly well suited for embedded applications and tightly integrated designs.

Matter & Zigbee

Airgeek supports the two most popular^[1] IoT connectivity standards for Home use: Matter over Thread, and Zigbee^[2]. It works with Apple Home, Google Home, HomeAssistant and other Smart Home apps and hubs.

This allows you to use the precise measurements that Airgeek provides to control compatible smart home equipment. For example, you can control heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment based on real-time^[3] air quality data.

Based on the results of a survey we did among the participants of embedded world 25 ( $n = 81$ ). The connectivity preferences were: Matter over Thread (25 %), Zigbee (23 %), NFC (21 %), data display only (12 %), other (19 %).
Work on Zigbee and Matter is now in progress. Our devices will be certified for Matter over Thread and Zigbee by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA).
In order to achieve great battery life, Airgeek performs between 6 and 8 PM_X measurements at random times throughout the day. The reported PM_X value is the moving 24 hour average.

5-Year Warranty & 10-Year Design Life

In addition to the standard 2-year warranty, all Airgeek devices come with a limited 5-year Kickstarter special warranty. The limited warranty covers any functional issues that the device may develop over time and any issues due to poor workmanship.

Made in Prague, Czechia

Airgeek is designed & made completely in-house in Prague, the Czech republic. All parts for the device, including all the sensors, are sourced almost exclusively from reputable European and American companies.

What Will You Build?

Airgeek M1 is built for people who want to understand, adapt and improve the hardware they use. With open code, comprehensive documentation and community-friendly development, it is a module designed not as a black box, but as a platform you can truly work with.

Built For Accuracy

We started Airgeek because we didn't trust the numbers other devices on the market were giving us. That's why we used the best sensors we could find—even though they are harder to source, more difficult to integrate and much more expensive.

All of the sensor we use are made in Europe or the United States, and are the top-notch products of their respective manufacturers.
