Getting started
- 01
Confirm the exact model
Match the hardware label and bundle to the linked documentation. Air Monitor Lite CGDN1, power and a Bluetooth host or compatible proxy.
- 02
Prove the documented connection
Follow the original guide and run its smallest supported example before asking an agent to extend it. Confirm CGDN1 rather than another Qingping monitor. Bluetooth range and model-specific sensor support matter; the Wi-Fi/HomeKit feature is a separate integration route.
- 03
Build one useful behavior
Start with a CO2 and particulate dashboard. Add logging, sensible timeouts and a manual off switch. Your computer or Home Assistant listens to supported sensor broadcasts.
