PurpleAir Flex Air Quality Monitor
Can purple air II measure and stire PM10 data?
Hello,
PurpleAir monitors do output a PM10 reading. However, we do not believe this reading to be accurate and do not recommend that community members use it. Our PM2.5 readings, on the other hand, are very precise.
At first, the minimalist and rugged design makes it ideal for outdoor use, but the included sensors are great for use near a wide variety of pollution sources. An ideal monitor to fill AQ data gaps
Seems like a good product so far, if a little pricey. Not happy about the privacy policy, requiring you to be in California to opt out.
The device works as advertised. Great! The set up instructions seem outdated or apply to another version of the device, which seems typical of many device installations. They say to look for the PurpleAir hotspot. I finally found it the list of wifi systems, which are not hotspots. Perhaps it is the loose terminology that is used that is confusing. The wifi method of connecting was unique and also caused some confusion; it seemed a more indirect way of connecting than used with other devices. Anyway... I eventually connected the device and and viewable in the map!
