Sharing Data with additional services such as Weather Underground , PWS, etc

#1

Hello - I’ve enabled sharing with the airgradient public site (IQ Air?), but I’d like to also be able to upload data to sites such as Weather Underground, PWSWeather.com and WeatherCloud.
I upload my weather data either directly from my Ecowitt station or via Cumulus MX software which supports many sites. Is there a way to convert Airgradient data to a more universal format supported by these sites?
Cumulus support Ecowitt’s air quality sensors as well as Purple Air directly and WU supports the purple air sensors’ data. Can AG data be converted to either of those formats?

Hi @Michael_J! Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll look into Cumulus and create a ticket for the team. This would be interesting to explore.

+1 for the option to upload data to WU even if it’s from the website and not the device

  • another for Weather Underground

Unsure if it would be useful for anyone else but it would be cool to be able to share data to: https://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/

Just joining to say following this topic… Came here exactly to post this.

Would install a PM sensor or full weather station but a large part of the desire would be to upload to multiple sites.

AirGradient can share data publicly, but it doesn’t natively output in the same formats used by Weather Underground or Cumulus MX. You’d need a custom script/API bridge to convert AG data into Ecowitt or PurpleAir format before those platforms will accept it.

Thanks everyone for the continued interest in this.

I’ve installed CumulusMX and did a quick initial poke around; from what I’ve seen so far, it should be possible to push AirGradient data into CumulusDB using the local API as a bridge. I haven’t gone deep enough yet to write a proper implementation or a full technical ticket.

A more general point for anyone wanting to integrate: AirGradient already provides a public API and it could be used to pull data directly from monitors that users have made public just like OpenAQ does. So even before we build native upload integrations, the data is already accessible in a standard way.

Once I’ve gone further with CumulusMX, I’ll post an update. If anyone here has experience building Ecowitt/PurpleAir-format bridges, feel free to chime in — that would help shape the feature request.
