In 2020 support for the [https://www.davisinstruments.com/airlink/ Davis Airlink] device was introduced in CumulusMX. Although Air Quality sensors had been supported by CumulusMX as Extra Sensors - which are not supported by  CumulusUtils - this Davis device had specific tables and support incorporated and as such could be supported by CumulusUtils. The Davis Airlink is supported by a Table view and by graphing the measured values. Future Air Quality devices will need a consistent use of an underlying data structure and interface to be supported.

Air Quality in the context of the AirLink is about Particulate Matter or fine dust particles of size of less then 10<math>\mu{m}</math> and less than 2.5<math>\mu{m}</math>. Duration of exposure of a certain average value gives an Air Quality Index which differs per country. On the forum information about this is available and linked below.
