Hi,
I took a quick look at the driver and their latest API
documentation.? The driver was written 4 years ago for Kaiterra's
Laser Egg models of IAQ monitors (which it appears have been
discontinued).? The API documentation now shows that data elements
are being returned as an array of parameters.? When the driver was
written that wasn't the case so I don't believe the driver will
work with the new models.? However, without testing, I can't be
sure.
As Pixel Bits points out, the Kaiterra API is cloud based.?? This
is why I personally use indoor and outdoor monitors from
PurpleAir.? They have a local API and there is a driver on my
GitHub.
PurpleAir, like WeatherFlow, is in the business of collecting
data from all the sensors they sell, combining that data into an
overall map of data in all the countries where sensors are
located, and selling that data to governments, etc.? You can
checkout the map by going to the PurpleAir web site and choosing
real-time-map from the map dropdown.
Hope this helps
Jay

Fairly straightforward but requires authentication with their
cloud infrastructure - no local APIs (discussed this with them
at length). Uses an API key you get from their dashboard. Clean
information but really a bother that you can't get access from
the device directly, $240/yr/device is expensive for a data
dashboard.
