I’m just bought an Airgradient air quality sensor (actually two, an indoor and an outdoor).

I want to mount the outdoor one but it needs a USB-C power supply. I can run a cable but power isn’t exactly close. Do I somehow find a 10m USB-C cable and run it through the roof to the sensor that I mount on the side of the house? What’s a normal way of getting USB-C power to an area far away from the closest power point?

    All of these other solutions aren’t going to get you what you want 🤦

    Search for “socket lamp USB power adapter” or something similar. You’ll find what you need, and cheaply.

      I just want power to the device. Unfortunately there are no light sockets in the entire house, it’s all wired in LED down lights 🤷
