Environmental Monitor Release status: experimental [box doku]
Description	Sort of like a weather station, but for more than the weather
Author(s)	Severin, Heiko

Severin bought a kit full of different Grove sensors a while back, to build a device to measure air quality and other things.

Currently, it only runs an Arduino sketch to output measurements to the serial port. But the ultimate idea is to build something similar to AirCasting.

Sensors

• UV [1]
• Light [2]
• Sound [3]
• Temperature / humidity [4]
• Air pressure [5]
• Dust [6]
• "Air Quality" [7]

Station at CCCamp15

Reviving the ideal, a small weather & air quality station was built at CCCamp15, with these parts. It used not all sensors, but measured UV, temperature, humidity, air pressure, and PM2.5, uploading all that to OpenSenseMap. Code is here: https://github.com/tiefpunkt/airqualitystation
