Being in California surrounded by the smoke of large fires this summer, I've written a program to take readings from a local PurpleAir sensor via their API and write the contents into a text file, then wrote an HS3 script to read the text file and populate a virtual device. This enables me to integrate AQI into my algorithm as well as temperature to determine if the house should advise us to open or close windows.
This is not a plugin, but a command line program that writes a text file for the current AQI and keeps another log file for historical readings. I'm not sure how useful the log is, but since I was dumping data into files it was a small incremental improvement.
You may be able to find a PurpleAir sensor near you at their site (www.purpleair.com) and select maps.
Is anyone interested in trying this software out?
