We Don't Love Subscriptions. But the AirGradient Dashboard Needs Them

[gabrieLL]

I think HA perfectly covers everything at the moment , no need to develop (spend time and money) on another piece of software for couple of people when robust solutions are already available. But we are talking about OpenSource software so someone might be willing to spend his/her time to develop this and release it on GitHub.

I agree. I typically check my monitors via HA and not the airgradient dashboard. If airgradient wishes to have outdoor monitors sending data externally, I don’t mind that as it helps determine air quality throughout the world. But I’d rather disable sending data on my internal monitors and just use HA.

As such, we are only charging for more demanding features that directly impact our server load and developer costs. For example, holding months of historical data or setting up many alarms are very taxing on our infrastructure and, therefore, will be included as part of the subscription.

With the subscription, will I be able to access historical data which is no longer available or that has already been aggregated?

Currently we keep minimum hourly data for the complete duration and I believe 5 min data for the last 30 days or so.
