Hi!

What are the chances of updating the firmware to give us the choice of metric/imperial units? This would benefit all users, especially those outside the US.

Hi @0x2501, on the [PurpleAir map](https://map.purpleair.com), you can click on the box with a gear in the top-left corner. Then, select the “Data layer” field. You will see temperature measurements available in both Fahrenheit and Celsius in that list.

Unfortunately not in the local JSON output (you know, [http://device/json?live=false](http://device/json?live=false)), as it returns fields like current\_temp\_f. Maybe add current\_temp?
