I've released a PurpleAir Local Driver that pulls Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, Dew Point, AQI, RSSI as well as PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10 an VOC particle reading directly from the device, no internet connection or cloud needed. Devices with dual lasers both values will be averaged
The code has been tested on a BME280 (Classic)and should work for other single and dual laser models.
aqiDisplay, is used in other drivers and a concatenation of the integer value then capital word of classification, ie "10 GOOD". It would be great to have that as a out put as well as it looks neater on the dashboards
VOC: yes!
pressure: I think the unit is mBar or hPa, but in line 93 it uses inHg - I can not figure out why
Correction of pressure and temp and humidity per PurpleAir guide or with a fixed offset would be great.
But it works and cuts down on data transfer!! Thanks so much!
I then attempt to install the driver by searching for "PurpleAirLocal", and package manager tells me nothing matching was found -- screenshot below.
I've added custom URLs in the past without problem. Any suggests would be appreciated.
Update: I installed the drive via copy-and-paste and then ran a "matchup" in package manager. It matched the driver up, but it still will not find anything when I search for "PurpleAirLocal".
I am running now, but curious as to why it isn't found...
Is PurpleAirLocal the correct package to search for on the install page?
Per my update, I was able to install the driver with copy-and-paste and then the "match up" option in package manager found it, but the search still fails. Very strange.
I have both the local and cloud driver installed -- could that be creating confusion?
