Installation

Use HACS or download the hassio-arpa-air-quality directory inside the apps directory here to your local apps directory.

Prerequisites

Arpa Air Quality is an AppDaemon app. The app works with Appdaemon v4.x.

Installation

Use HACS or download the hassio-arpa-air-quality directory inside the apps directory here to your local apps directory.

Remember to configure it after install

Configuration

In app/hassio-arpa-air-quality should be region.json file that contains all configuration setting.

Parameter	Description	Type	Example
regions	Specific configuration of each region	dictionary of region_object	"regions": {"veneto": {"url": "http://213.217.132.81/aria-json/exported/aria/data.json", "station_id": "500021975", "monitored_params": ["pm10", "OZONO"]} }
unit_of_measurement	Unit of measurement to apply to relative parameter	dict	{"ozono": "µg/m3", "pm10": "µg/m3", "SO2": "µg/m3"}
refresh_rate	Time to refresh in minutes	int	30
create_sensor	Create a sensor for each monitored params of each configured region	bool	True

Region Object

The configurable regions are these.

Parameter	Description	Type	Example
url	Url address of Open Data json data	string	http://213.217.132.81/aria-json/exported/aria/data.json
station_id	Arpa monitored station	string	500021975 or FI-GRAMSCI
monitored_params	Dictionary of units of measurement	dictionary	{"ozono": "µg/m3", "pm10": "µg/m3", "SO2": "µg/m3" }

Example of region.json

{
  "refresh_rate": 6,
  "create_sensor": true,
  "unit_of_measurement": {
    "ozono": "µg/m3",
    "pm10": "µg/m3",
    "SO2": "µg/m3"
  },
  "regions": {
    "veneto": {
      "url": "http://213.217.132.81/aria-json/exported/aria/data.json",
      "station_id": "500021975",
      "monitored_params": [
        "pm10",
        "OZONO"
      ]
    },
    "toscana": {
      "url": "http://www.arpat.toscana.it/temi-ambientali/aria/> qualita-aria/dati_orari_real_time/json_orari_nrt/",
      "monitored_params": ["SO2", "NO2", "O3", "CO", "H2S", "BENZENE"],
      "station_id": "FI-GRAMSCI"
    }
  }
}

Sensor

At least one sensor per configured area will be created automatically sensor.arpa_air_station_<<<region_name>>

examplex: for toscana, sensors will be sensor.arpa_air_station_toscana

Parameter Sensor

if create_sensor flag is True, will be automatically create sensor for each monitored_param configured.

The name of sensor is: sensor.arpa_air_station_<<<region_name>>_<<parameter_name>>

example: for SO2 in toscana, sensor name will be sensor.arpa_air_station_toscana_so2

Each sensor shows:

• State
  • Value and unit of measurement
• Attribues
  • Measurement_date: measurement date
  • Last_update: last refresh date
  • station_id: configured Arpa station

Event

With a custom event arpa_air_quality_refresh it's possible to refresh data immediately. Event has one mandatory parameter:

Parameter	Description	Type	Example
regions	List of regions to refresh	list	regions: - toscana - veneto

# Example refresh Arpa air quality at sunrise both veneto and toscana
- alias: Refresh Arpa air quality at sunrise both veneto and toscana
  trigger:
    - platform: sun
      event: sunrise
  action:
    - event: arpa_air_quality_refresh
      event_data:
        regions: 
          - veneto
          - toscana


# Example refresh Arpa air quality at sunset only for veneto
- alias: Refresh Arpa air quality at sunset only for veneto
  trigger:
    - platform: sun
      event: sunset
  action:
    - event: arpa_air_quality_refresh
      event_data:
        regions: 
          - veneto

• secrets.yaml
  • arpa_url_json
  • arpa_station_id
  • arpa_refresh_rate
  • arpa_monitored_params
• configuration.yaml (template sensors)
  • arpa_url_json
