Start here

Use the right place for the question.

Discord works well for conversation and early ideas. MakerWorld keeps build answers public. GitHub gives reproducible firmware defects a clear technical record.

Discuss

Join the Aura Discord

Post a build, compare hardware, discuss an integration or give feedback on Aura AQ, Hub, Link and Satellites.

Build questions

Search the public Q&A

Find existing assembly, cable, sensor and usage answers. Add a question when the public thread does not already cover it.

Open Community Q&A
Reproducible bugs

File a useful issue

Report a reproducible firmware defect with the version, board, sensor list, steps and logs needed to investigate it.

Open GitHub Issues
Official paths

Build from current docs

Check supported displays, current parts, optional sensors and installer access before ordering or flashing hardware.

What we work on

Choose the part of Aura you care about.

The community covers finished builds, active development and early product ideas. Each project page states what works today and what still needs proof.

01 / Build

Hardware and enclosures

Compare display sizes, sensor combinations, cable paths, printed parts and real installation choices.

Explore Aura AQ
02 / Connect

Firmware and integrations

Test local dashboards, MQTT, Home Assistant and the developing Hub and Link workflows with clear evidence.

See Aura AQ Hub
03 / Shape

Ideas and field feedback

Describe the room, problem and constraints behind an idea so the tradeoffs can be discussed before hardware is fixed.

See Aura Satellites

Share your build

Give the next builder enough detail to follow.

A photo starts the conversation. The board model, firmware version, sensor list and result turn it into something another builder can use.

  1. 01

    Show the setup

    Name the display, PCB path, sensors, enclosure and power supply.

  2. 02

    Name what changed

    Add the firmware version, wiring or setting you tested and the result.

  3. 03

    Close the loop

    Return with the working fix, a useful log or a clearer question.

Get useful support

Bring the details that make diagnosis possible.

Hardware problems often look alike from the outside. A short, complete report helps another builder separate power, wiring, configuration and firmware causes.

Help more than one builder

Search MakerWorld first, then add the missing detail so the answer stays available to the next person with the same build.

Safety boundary

Keep life-safety devices in place

Aura AQ is an air-quality monitor and project platform. Optional gas telemetry does not replace a certified life-safety alarm.
