Can Airly Sensors Store Data?

Yes, Airly sensors store data – it is done using the measurement data retention system.

By default, measurements data are an average of 5 minutes interval and are sent to servers every 5 minutes. Whenever a problem occurs during data transmission and the sensor will not receive a confirmation message from the server, data will be stored in a memory queue for the next transmission window. The queue can store up to 24 measurements in case of a GSM communication failure (cellular network failure, etc.). At 5 minutes transmission interval it converts into 2 hours of data retention.

If a transmission problem lasts longer than 2 hours, data samples stored in the queue will be overwritten based on oldest timestamp hierarchy. Measurement retention mechanism works automatically and does not need user action to work properly.

In addition to ensuring data continuity, the retention system also provides reliability for long-term analysis. Even in the event of temporary network disruptions, users can be confident that the majority of measurement samples will be preserved and transmitted once communication is restored. This mechanism guarantees that air quality monitoring remains consistent and trustworthy, supporting both scientific research and everyday decision-making thanks to the fact that Airly sensors store data.
