Local Air Quality Monitor

Introduction

This simple Node app uses the PurpleAir API to display hyper-local air quality information based on PurpleAir IoT sensors located near where you live. You can check check the abundance of sensors near your place by visiting https://www.purpleair.com/map?mylocation.

Setup

The best way to start using this app is to clone the project into your local machine's project directory.

1. cd ~/projects && git clone https://github.com/daveschumaker/local-air.git
2. cd local-air && npm install
3. Rename config-example.js to config.js and enter appropriate details. You can find the ID for the PurpleAir sensor closest to your house by visiting the PurpleAir map.
4. Run project using either npm run dev or npm run build && npm run start
5. View the node app's webpage in your browser by visiting http://localhost:3000 (PORT 3000 is default, you can change this later)
