AirCube by StuckAtPrototype

Loving my Air Cube. First day using it i had it plugged into usb in my car. Started green but after driving for 30 minutes with vents on recirculation it turned yellow then back to green when bringing in fresh air. Coincidentally on my way home I had to drive past a wildfire and was stuck on freeway for hours. Even with windows up and recirculation on AC set it turned red due to smoke. Once away from fire it was again green. Great first day testing it out.

Simple to setup, basically, you plug it in! App is clean and adding the unit, also, took zero time and effort. I got the AirCubePro variant, this tiny device looks simple on the outside, but it packs a punch with the data it relays to the app. It will be interesting to see how the air quality in my house changes through out the year. ESP. during the summer when forest fires are at their height. Living in Portland, they are a constant threat. TY AirCube, this was worth the money I paid and more, thinking about buying one more for my office!

This cube is so cool. I love that I can see the air quality without having to load hope assistant, but if I want more data I can always load home assistant. Most of all I love that this came with an actual schematic. Nothing is hidden. Everything should be sold like this.

Works as described

I have to say this device exceeded my expectations. I ordered 2 more for my family

Keep up the great work I am looking forward to more great things to come from stuck at prototype
I added my graph showing cooking bacon and eggs this morning the sensor is located in a bedroom.

Very nice and unique product, and I'm very happy with it overall.

Unfortunately, after only a few brightness adjustments, the button detached from the circuit board, even though I wasn't applying much pressure. This was disappointing, as the Aircube otherwise seemed to be of good quality.

I’ve been running these for a few weeks now. They were super easy to integrate into my home assistant and automate. I love being able to get access to all the data in home assistant, but at the same time being able to look at the device and easily tell with a quick glance what my air quality is. So far seems to be very well designed and thought out. Will be adding more.

Shipped quickly and works as advertised. Very easy to setup with Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT. I'm using it in the room where I keep my 3D printer and it alerted me to high levels of VOCs which I have been able to mitigate with a filtration system.

Well done! Happy to support this kind of endeavor. Keep making stuff!

Very easy to use and understand the read out. I could tell very quickly that the air in my bathroom is poor quality. The openness of this project is spurring me towards getting hooked up with the home assistant ecosystem.

When this precious little AirCube first arrived, I just plugged it into the wall and it started working instantly! No fuss, no bother, and no needing a degree in engineering just to get it going. It is absolute proof that good things come in small packages, speaking my language plain as day just by changing color to show me exactly what's in the air. When I’m frying up some green tomatoes and the kitchen gets a touch smoky, it turns bright red to let me know it's time to get a cross-breeze going. It even plays nice with that fancy "Home Assistant" system I use to run the gadgets around the house, sending all that air quality information right to it without a single hiccup. It stays as quiet as a church mouse, just sitting there like a tiny guardian angel making the invisible plain as day so I know exactly when to open up the windows and let that sweet breeze in.

The only tiny notion is that the little light can be a touch bright in the evening when I’m trying to settle down with my sweet tea and watch my programs, but it’s no trouble at all to just turn it facing the wall a bit. If you want a sweet little helper that lets you see exactly what you're breathing without having to squint at tiny numbers or fiddle with a smartphone, you go on ahead and get yourself one. It connects up to your smart home beautifully, is worth every single penny for the peace of mind, and gets a whole five stars from me!

Absolutely phenomenal device, as one hobbyist that is just as much into self hosting, personal projects, 3d printing, wood/metal work as StuckAtPrototype is, this device was very good for the price, and I’m more than happy to support a “small” creator 3d printing their own ESP32 projects than some mega corporation. Realizing I had to hold the button for 3s to enter the blue-flash pairing mode for ZHA was a bit of a head scratcher, but Google came to the rescue with calling that out as well as the custom quirk, and I figured out how to get the .py file into a place that my HA instance could see it. A little setup on the front end, nothing terrible, 5 stars, would obviously recommend this over any other AQ monitor from Amazon or whatever. Also, more than happy to share a quick write up on step by step instructions for the custom quirk, as I missed that the first time.

PS - giving the block diagram for the underlying circuit design in the package made me smile, I might frame it next to the little glowing cube!

The AirCube is integrated into my Home Assistant setup via Zigbee (ZHA). The initial integration was easy, the only difficulty was creating the Quirk in HA to expose all sensors, but due to the great instructions even that wasn't a big deal.
Great job. Love that little sensor and it serves as a night light at the same time. Good job.

I am beginning to think my COVID ruined sense of smell is not going to return to normal. So I have no sense of what my shop smells like. I ventilate but decided I need this little guy to make sure it's safe. I really like how easy it is. I hate messing with options and whatever. Just plug it in, that's it. Great design.

this little thing is Perfect!

Great at seeing a visual view of you air quality!

I love how the colors show me the air quality at a glance without checking any apps. I put mine next to the flowers, I am going to get one more for my bedroom. Highly recommended.

I paired it with home assistant and it works perfectly out of the box. I’m putting it next to my 3D printer. I’m going to get more of these!

I love this device. Its a great reminder to air out my office. The design is really nice as well. Very sleek and modern. I highly recommend for anyone that has a habit of getting their office messy its a good reminder to clean up clutter as well.

Love this air cube. We all spend a lot of time at home and air quality is essential. This cube is a great reminder for me when I need to crack my window for some fresh air. I didn’t realize how bad the air at home was, because it’s not something we can see or even smell sometimes. Great buy, thanks for making this product stylish and simple.

Works Great really needed this to test out ABS on H2D before and after adding Alveo Pro filtration unit, after testing the filtration unit I can now safely print ABS in a closed room with this air cube as indication of VOC health

I bought one with a little skepticism and have been pleasantly surprised with the AirCube Pro. So much so I've purchased 2 additional units. Could not be easier to setup and use. I love the iOS App too. My only criticism is the brightness slider in the app doesn't function as I would expect and the color changes at the edges of the ranges are hard to tell. That said I have emailed Damian and he got back to me in a day or 2 and said some changes in the next firmware will address these. How often can you get support directly from the person who designed the product you bought. Look forward to my additional units and I wish StuckAtProrotype and Damian the best.
