Some of you may have received [PurpleAir](https://www2.purpleair.com) sensors for your air quality sensors. This is often due to the **LoRaWAN frequencies** used by other brands like Ambient and Ecowitt not being supported in certain countries.&#x20;

### **Overview**

To begin, you need to:

1. Make your PurpleAir sensor visible on the PurpleAir map.
2. Configure it to connect to a WiFi network.
3. Register it to the PurpleAir map.
