AirVista Kit (DIY version)
For enthusiasts who enjoy assembling their own device.
Directly programmable with the USB-C interface. You can create your own custom (open source) software and add accessories with the open-bus i2c connector for additional sensors or controls.
The kit includes a pre-assembled AirVista mainboard PCB , a high quality sensor module SEN-66, a 3D printed enclosure and all required cables pre-assembled.
Assembly requires no soldering.
Once assembled, the unit runs the same software as other AirVista models and can be configured to directly connect to Home Assistant through MQTT autodiscovery.
Custom (open source) firmware can be uploaded through the USB-C port for experimentation, no need for special tools for flashing.

FAQ
-
Why is there no battery included?
- All major shipping companies have strict rules when shipping LiPo batteries. Shipping LiPo makes it much more expensive while you can buy these common batteries at Amazon worldwide.
-
Is the software open source?
- The AirVista can be freely programmed over the USB-C port. You can create your own software using Arduino or use any public open source software to program the device with. The current AirVista source code is not open source, but is planned to do so.
