# nettigo-air-monitor — Python wrapper for getting air quality data from Nettigo Air Monitor devices.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 73.9K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Nettigo Air Monitor is an async Python client for querying air quality data from Nettigo Air Monitor hardware and compatible Sensor.Community firmware devices. It wraps HTTP communication with connection pooling via aiohttp, handles authentication, and includes automatic retry logic via tenacity and data deserialization via dacite and aqipy-atmotech.

The package is designed for integration into monitoring dashboards or data collection pipelines where you need to periodically fetch sensor readings from devices on a local network. It exposes device metadata (firmware version, MAC address, location) and sensor measurements through a simple async interface, with built-in error handling for network timeouts, authentication failures, and malformed responses.

Use it for:

- Integrate air quality readings into a home automation system.
- Build a local monitoring dashboard that polls multiple Nettigo devices on a network.
- Collect historical air quality data for analysis or alerting based on thresholds.
- Sync sensor data to a cloud platform or time-series database for tracking.
- Develop a custom application that reacts to real-time air quality changes.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Fetches and parses air quality data from Nettigo Air Monitor devices and compatible Sensor.Community firmware over HTTP, handling connection, authentication, and retry logic.

Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. Install it if you own or have access to a Nettigo Air Monitor or Sensor.Community device and need to fetch its data programmatically in an async Python application.

## Install

pip install nettigo-air-monitor
uv add nettigo-air-monitor
poetry add nettigo-air-monitor

## Installing nettigo-air-monitor

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and four runtime dependencies. Active maintenance as of 2026-08-13 with production-stable status.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

Quickstart:

import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from nettigo_air_monitor import NettigoAirMonitor, ConnectionOptions

async def main():
    options = ConnectionOptions(host="nam", username="user", password="password")
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        nam = await NettigoAirMonitor.create(session, options)
        data = await nam.async_update()
        print(data)

asyncio.run(main())

Requires Python 3.12 or later; device must be reachable on the network and credentials must be correct.

Verify before relying:

- Whether the package supports both Nettigo Air Monitor and Sensor.Community firmware equally, or if one is better-tested.
- What specific air quality metrics are returned by async_update().
- Performance characteristics when polling multiple devices or high-frequency updates.
