NEWBIE requesting some basic help.
Hello, I was asked to help on a local community project to study Air Quality. I have two monitoring stations via PurpleAir. I can see data/ weekly graphs from both these stations. It appears that PurpleAir only holds/displays data for 1 week and it was suggested that ThingSpeak would [a]store historical data [b]able to "graph for longer periods of time". Is this true? Second question. It was only last week that I have heard of PurpleAir and ThingSpeak... is it possible for a Newbie to setup ThingSpeak to be able to visualize the AQI from my two monitors?

It is definitely possible to create a dual visualization on ThingSpeak, and create visualizations that span for longer than 1 week. Are your purple air monitor channels public? If not, sometimes you can get the read API keys from Purple Air directly. Check out their website and API. I would write a script that reads the data from the purple air channel and writes to your own channel, and then use the TimeControl app to schedule that code to run at regular intervals.
