Air quality hardware
-
How does one acquire or choose air quality sensor hardware that can be reported to Windy or published to the Internet? Doing a general Internet search there's a lot of basic sensors, but it's very difficult to find something complete that includes CO concentrations. When CO is included it very general. CO is a real issue here in our valley. Even the very expensive equipment seem to show little or no CO data, CO2 yes, CO not much.
Anyone have any suggestions? -
@d7vector Hello, as far as I am aware, we take data from external providers, sources. So we cannot assure you that your station then automatically will be published in our app.

@Suty Hi. There are many private monitors in our city, individuals, public buildings, houses where people live next to trailheads in the hills. These all show in Windy. Our air in the winter is so bad that I check it all the time to know where to take my dogs. I just zoom into our city and they all show up. I just don't know what equipment they use. I could knock on doors I suppose. I also want one that can measure CO for my own benefit if not on the net.

@d7vector Could you please share one of these stations?

@Suty Sure. Just go to Windy . com (ha) go to the air quality index in Menu and there they are. Zoom into Salt Lake City until you see the street map and you'll see what I see. There are private monitors everywhere. I know exactly where each of these are and most are at people's houses. Click the individual monitor and it tells who or what is broadcasting.

@Suty Sorry. I just realized you have to go to Menu, then down toward the bottom it says Air Quality Stations. You add them to your map or pin it.
