OpenAQ data different than on real/seen on Airgradient Dashboard?

Hi,

When hung O-1PST sensor outside decided to share data with Airgradient and 3rd parties. One thing noticed is that for example temperature reading is way off on OpenAQ than in real/Airgradient Dashboard. Couple of degrees higher on OpenAQ. Have you noticed similar thing?


best regards,
Adam

This is probably because OpenAQ displays the raw values whereas on our dashboard the temperature / accuracy correction factors are applied by default to compensate for the heatup of the enclosure.

I see, this must be it. Thank you Achim.

Is it something that I am able to correct by myself that OpenAQ will get compensated temp/hum values?
