OK, so the weewx-purple is doing the maths which is all well and good but not immediately obvious since most AQI displays have a nice button with good, moderate,bad etc. like Ian's Weather34 display.

Each to their own I suppose :)

Hi Tim,

You do not need a separate database to store AQI.  It can be derived with xtypes.  And AQI can be and is plotted.  That is what weewx-purple is doing for US EPA AQI.  It’s also using xtypes to compute LRAPA PM2.5 values and UNBC PM2.5 values.

Hi Daniel,

All cool but you are plotting PM not AQI .

AQI is a value calculated from either a single PM type  or multiple PM types.

https://aqicn.org/calculator

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_quality_index

The AQI plugin is supposed to do that and it creates a new db to save the AQI values in it.

I have an Ecowitt PM2.5 monitor and that data is being saved to the weewx db, I'm investigating how I can calculate AQI from that data using the AQI plugin and then show the actual AQI via the Belchertown skin.

I've just been wondering if anyone else has done that, and if so, how ?

If not one has done that yet, I'll plod on and eventually work it out :)

cheers

Tim

I  have it working with my PurpleAir and the weewx-purple extension.

All I had to do was add pm2_5 to my sensor list and create a graph:
station_observations = barometer, dewpoint, outHumidity, rainWithRainRate, pm2_5, radiation

And in /etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown/graphs.conf:
    [[chart7]]
        title = Air Quality
 [[[pm2_5]]]
           name = AQI PM 2.5
           zIndex = 1
           color = "#becc00"
 [[[pm1_0]]]
           name = AQI PM 1.0
           zIndex = 1
           color = "#ffc83f"
 [[[pm10_0]]]
           name = AQI PM 10.0
           zIndex = 1
           color = "#c83fff"
