For your space
All solutions
Home Kitchens, bedrooms, nurseries, basements. Envora shows you what you breathe — and tells you how to fix it, usually for free. Office & Co-work CO₂ is the single strongest environmental lever on office productivity — and the cheapest to fix. Envora gives facilities teams and founders the number to argue with. CO₂ and indoor air quality monitoring for schools Classroom CO₂ and indoor air quality evidence for better ventilation decisions, measurable cognitive lift, and the data trail governors and parents want. Labs & Clinics Envora One is precise enough for laboratories, clinics and regulated spaces, and comes with a signed calibration certificate per device ID. Studios & Gyms Hot yoga, spin, HIIT and small studios generate extreme humidity and CO₂ loads. Envora tells you how your ventilation is holding up — live, per-room, per-class. Podcasts & Studios Envora flags the HVAC hum, the fridge compressor, the neighbour's drill — and the concentration drift that flattens your delivery — before the tape picks any of it up. Landlords & Letting Continuous, timestamped indoor air quality records for every unit you manage — so damp disputes end in data, not arguments.

Why MQTT matters

MQTT is the standard for IoT messaging because it is lightweight, low-latency and decoupled — devices publish to topics, anything subscribing picks the data up. For an air quality sensor, this means Home Assistant, Node-RED, Telegraf, your own dashboards and your BMS can all consume the same readings without polling, without API limits and without vendor middleware.

A monitor that only offers cloud API access cannot do this cleanly. A monitor with a community MQTT bridge is fragile — it depends on someone maintaining the bridge against the vendor's cloud API. A native MQTT monitor just works.

Envora One MQTT topic structure

envora/{device_id}/co2 — CO₂ in ppm, integer
envora/{device_id}/pm25 — PM2.5 in µg/m³, float
envora/{device_id}/pm1, /pm10 — same units
envora/{device_id}/voc — VOC index
envora/{device_id}/co — CO in ppm
envora/{device_id}/temperature — °C, float
envora/{device_id}/humidity — %RH
envora/{device_id}/pressure — hPa
envora/{device_id}/lux — lux
envora/{device_id}/dba — dBA
envora/{device_id}/iaq — fused IAQ score 0–100

Home Assistant auto-discovery topics under homeassistant/sensor/envora_{device_id}_{channel}/config.

QoS 1 by default; retain flag on the latest reading per channel so reconnecting subscribers see current state immediately.

Setup

Three settings on the device: broker host, port, optional username/password. TLS supported (port 8883). Devices publish to your broker on the topic structure above and Home Assistant auto-discovery is enabled by default.

For local-only deployments, the device can also run its own embedded broker on port 1883 — useful if you do not have a broker already and want to keep everything offline.

FAQ

FAQ — MQTT air quality sensor

Is the MQTT broker first-party?

Yes — Envora One publishes natively, no community bridge, no vendor cloud round-trip required.

Does it support TLS?

Yes — TLS on port 8883 with client certificate authentication if required.

Can multiple devices publish to the same broker?

Yes — devices are distinguished by `device_id` in the topic structure. A single broker can handle a multi-device deployment without configuration changes.

Does it work without an Envora cloud account?

Yes — local-only mode runs entirely against your broker. No internet round-trip required for MQTT operation.
