An app would be perfect for this set-up. That way we can get notifications when the sensors that get a reading that is too high and/or dangerous.

What happened to Airwyn? Was using it regularly, so very sorry to see that it is no longer available. Which app would people recommend to use in its place where I can track my own sensor data quickly?
