| Awair local API devices | Works Local | Local API added; more frequent polling and works without internetSaved copyProposed change Add support for Awair's (beta) Local API. This API supports more frequent polling and will work when there is no Internet connection.

| Awair (cloud API, older devices) | Won’t be supported Cloud | Hobby cloud API sunset; older devices no longer supported, use local APISaved copy@JVTEAM Yes, the Awair hobby API has been sunset, and they no longer support older devices. If you are using a newer Awair device, I recommend switching to the local API integration instead. Our docs here need to be updated, but I do not have much time for maintenance these days and have not yet been able to do so. Thanks for the reply! I switched over to the local api. After a bit of a struggle I got it all reset. Thank you! Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | Issue #89745 · 2023-03 |
