Prometheus exporter for Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor

This exporter uses private Amazon Alexa API to collect air quality measurements reported by Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor

Running

Getting Appliance ID

Visit https://alexa.amazon.co.uk/api/phoenix/group and identify the appliance ID of your air monitor. It probably begins with "AAA_SonarCloudService_".

Getting the Amazon session cookies

Since there is no public API available for collecting this data, we use a set of browser session cookies to authenticate with Alexa API. Please treat these cookies as secrets, since they give access to your Amazon account.

Visit https://alexa.amazon.co.uk/api/phoenix/group with developer tools enabled in your browser and record the value of the following cookies:

at-acbuk
ubid-acbuk

Installing dependencies

pip install pipenv
pipenv install

Running the exporter

AT_ACBUK='at-acbuk-cookie-value' UBID_ACBUK='ubid-acbuk-cookie-value' pipenv run python app.py

Testing

Before configuring the exporter as a Prometheus target, verify that metrics get collected successfully by sending a request with your monitor's appliance ID as an id URL parameter:

curl '127.0.0.1:5000/air_monitor?id=AAA_SonarCloudService_...'

Configuring Prometheus

After you get the exporter running, you can add it as a Prometheus target. For example:

- job_name: alexa_exporter
  metrics_path: /air_monitor
  static_configs:
  - targets:
    - living_room,AAA_SonarCloudService_...
  relabel_configs:
  - source_labels: [__address__]
    regex: (.*),.*
    target_label: instance
    replacement: ${1}
  - source_labels: [__address__]
    regex: .*,(.*)
    target_label: __param_id
    replacement: ${1}
  - source_labels: []
    regex: .*
    target_label: __address__
    replacement: 127.0.0.1:5000
