Airthings is a wireless indoor air quality platform — battery-powered sensors talk to a Hub, the Hub forwards readings to the Airthings cloud, and the platform reads them through the Airthings for Business API. Most of the work happens in the Airthings dashboard; the platform side is just an API credential and a device-selection step.

What you do in the Airthings dashboard

1. Create or sign in to an Airthings for Business account at dashboard.airthings.com.
2. Set up the building and zones — the names you choose here will surface in our device-selection step, so use the same naming as elsewhere on the site.
3. Pair the Hub and sensors using the Airthings app (their pairing flow handles claiming each device).
4. Wait at least 30 minutes after pairing for first readings to appear in the dashboard.

Get an API credential from Airthings

Follow the Airthings for Business documentation for issuing API access — the exact dashboard path varies as Airthings updates their UI. The two values you need from the process are a Client ID and a Client Secret; those are what our credential form expects. The credential covers your whole Airthings account, so one credential serves all your sites; you select which devices belong to each site in our wizard.

Airthings for Business — getting started

What you do in the wizard

1. Step 2 — Integrations & Discovery: choose Airthings, paste the Client ID and Client Secret as a new credential, and click Verify. The platform calls Airthings' device-list endpoint with your credential — a green tick means the credential is valid.
2. On the same step, the discovered device list appears: every Airthings device the credential can see, across all your sites. Tick the ones that belong to this site and untick the rest. The location name from your Airthings dashboard is shown next to each device, which makes per-site filtering quick.
3. No address-list CSV upload for Airthings — discovery replaces it.
4. No watchdog needed — Airthings is read-only from our side.
