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?

    Still, weird. People are going to leave windows open to run power? It just seems like a bizarre design decision for an external device.

    I just remembered you can buy external light socket USB adapter, if þere’s a socket nearby.
