Custom Grafana dashboard with alerts

Hi,

I would like to implement my custom Grafana dashboard and I read that the only way is to import the data via the sensor community APIs into your own InfluxDB or compatible datasource.

Could anyone confirm this is the only way of doing this, for instance by:

1- Find the sensor IDs for the area

2- Import the data into a custom InfluxDB by using the APIs

First check the schema generated by a sensor

Then import the data via a script, eg:

3- Use the Grafana dashboard at: Feinstaub - luftdaten.info | Grafana Labs to start developing a custom dashboard with a Grafana account or local installation

4- Add a notification in Grafana or use the app below:

GitHub - luftdaten/alarm_app: Particular Matter Notification App for the Luftdaten.info Network

Thank you
