Air Quality Cards
Air Quality Cards
Given that the air quality is going to shit in m y area again, I figured I'd show off my air quality cards! Let me know if you have any questions. The colors for the AQI cards are from US EPA's color set and the the PM2.5 color values are based off EPA's PM2.5 exposure over 24 hours

1 0 ReplyThese are great!! I didn't even know about the AirNow integration!
1 0 ReplyGlad you like them! Now you gotta share whatever you build :)
I was originally using the Airvisual cloud integration, which wasn't accurate at all. I found the Airnow one right when the wildfire smoke got bad around here and it made a huge difference.

I tend to not use the mini-graph-card as I find it not customizable enough; too much room is taken up by other things than the graph itself (legend mostly).
1 0 ReplyWhat are you using instead?
0 0 ReplyI'm using [https://community.home-assistant.io/t/plotly-interactive-graph-card/347746](Plotly Graph) for my solar panels. I do use some small mini-graph-cards without a legend though, but not as much as I expected to use them in the beginning.

Cheers for that. I've recently added WAQI integration to my system, and hadn't thought that you could add more colours.
1 0 ReplyThese look good. What source of data are you using?
0 0 ReplyI forgot to mention that, but the Airnow integration has been pretty good. I was using Airvisual Cloud, but that doesn't seem to be as accurate.

Upper Midwest? Milwaukee here, yesterday was awful.
