I was lucky enough to get an air-quality monitor from @CleanAirSheffield who for a £40 up front fee provide a ready made air-sensor that connects to the Luftdaten network. Once installed and connected/registered to the network this £40 is refunded.
Monitoring
Data can be viewed in a number of different ways…
- My Sensors (requires login, so only I can see that
- SDS011 - Particle Sensor time series of particle sensor measurements (#29838). Grafna Version-a nicer representation of the graphs.
- BME280 - Temp/Humidity/Pressure Sensor time series of particle sensor measurements (#29839).
- Local Config a WebUI on my LAN with information about the device.
Data
The data is open and can be downloaded by anyone. Rohit Chakraborty (@rcrohit7) is using the data as part of his PhD to develop air quality monitoring networks.
There is a Python library luftdatenpumpe for grabbing data, I've written some notes on using it Using Luftdatenpumpe.
