Hi @Oliver_Speir, you can query the data from your sensor locally on your own network. Details for this can be found in our [View local Sensor Output over WiFi](https://community.purpleair.com/t/view-local-sensor-output-over-wifi/5513) article.

Some PurpleAir devices also have an SD card reader. These devices will write the data they collect to the SD card as long as there’s space remaining.
