Hey all - really excited about this air quality/and more sensor, but I've seen zero mention of Hubitat drivers or integration. It's natively coded for HomeAssist and I believe runs some flavor of ESPhome. So does that mean its sensors should slide right into HE with the ESPHome integration? Or are/would custom drivers still be necessary? Here's a link, I have zero affiliation:
You could try the ESPHome integration and see what the results are... but if it needs more beyond that it would likely need custom drivers (which may not be super complicated from the looks of it, but someone would need to make them).
Yeah from my very limited understanding of ESPHome/its integration, the only issue may simply be lack of specific Air1 sensor definitions in the Hubitat ESPHome integration. It may not have, for example, "Ammonia ppm". This could be addressed easily I think on my end in the ESPhome HE code, and maybe long term in a feature/add request.
Was just fishing to see if anyone else had already blazed this trail.

You did the write thing to start with by searching... and then asking when you did not find anything, just in case. If you try the ESPHome integration and it is missing something, the developer might be happy to add it in.
I was just turned onto this device this morning. @slip1n1fall did you buy one and try it?
@chowell I have, it's not too bad - I don't (yet) use it for anything mission critical. My intent was/is to use it to monitor PM in my workshop and turn the air filter on/off as needed. But the workshop has had some delays.
As for the device itself I can definitely see events correlated to the sensor measurements - for instance charging a bank of lead acid batteries I see the VOC jump like crazy. It tracks with the charger current, interestingly. For now it's just a part of my Home Assistant dashboard. I had it in my office for a bit and was surprised to see how quickly CO2 raised when working with the door closed.
I did bring in a few sensors to Hubitat via the HA bridge app. Just now noticed they're offline... not sure what the deal is there - I haven't really used them in Hubitat beyond setting it up initially.
The device does have some quirks, which I've just been lazy to fix - it randomly reboots once or twice a day. The dev's are very active and helpful in their Discord and offered some suggestions I just haven't gotten around to messing with it yet.
Thanks for the update. I've been putting off augmenting my HE setup with HA. Looks like this is 1 more nudge in that direction.
I managed to edit jonathonb's driver for the ESPHome temperature sensor to work with the Apollo Air-1 through ESPHome integration. It's the first time I've attempted any changes to drivers so I might have done it in a very inelegant way, but happy to share it if anyone wants to message me.
