Why not just use Airthings, don't use their service, and own your data.

They say in the license if you use their service (i.e. you upload your data to them) they own it. But if you don't, you own it. Seems fair to give them their data if they are going to store it for you and provide you an app and website to view it.

They publish a github repo to let you download direct from airthings (not using anything cloud) and graph it with graphana or whatever you want.



This isn't the case for their newer products afaict-- with the ViewPlus (which is what I have) you _must_ go through their cloud offering in order to get your data.

I do not want to roundtrip for something that shouldn't have left my house in the first place. Their older products allowed me to keep it local, why shouldn't their newer ones?
