Description
Get ready to wirelessly monitor air quality and temperature in any location.
The Pynode+ AIRQ is a ready-to-use BLE-enabled sensor that connects seamlessly to your WiPy, GPy, LoPy4, FiPy or OEM product. Or you could even connect it to something that’s not a Pycom device as long as it runs BLE 5.1.
Pynode+ sensors are ready to use out of the box.
