Knowing my months for allergy, this allows picking a sensor nearby and configuring for PM10 particle size which is synominous with pollen. Instead of generic estimated pollen reading for an entire region, once per day, I’m getting actual readings near my house by the hour that is corresponding with my allergies.

As a PurpleAir owner, I always wondered why there was not app. Then I stumbled upon Paku. It started out relatively rudimentary, but the developer has continued to add excellent features and fix bugs. It now lets me view my station and others easily, including display data like temperature as well as air quality. I hope the people at PurpleAir are throwing some money the way of the developer. He deserves it! The App That Purple Air Should Have Made As a PurpleAir owner, I always wondered why there was not app. Then I stumbled upon Paku.
