Under Norwegian law, data is not protected, hence it cannot be owned. If you have access to some data, by all means, it's "yours" (under Norwegian jurisdiction).
I'd love to be able to purchase something like this and a weather station that will submit data to a free public service so people can receive better and more accurate / timely weather data. I can't tell if that is possible out of the box via AirGradient from this website (or if such a service even exists, as they only mention "24 months AirGradient data platform / map" which implies proprietary)? Do people know of a similar solution for a weather station?
It smells like an abusive clause. I would be tempted to ignore it and never tell anyone if I had to collect data from those sensors. They would be named sensors from company "A" in the reports and papers.<p>But to do things in a pleasing way for legal people, how could we proceed ?
A little off-topic but does anyone know of pressure sensors suitable for home-baked blood pressure monitor?<p>I'm planning to build a little Arduino- or raspi-based device to own the data. All I managed to find were (non-blood) pressure sensors and I'm unsure whether these could be used for blood pressure monitoring and how I'd place them against the hand to get readings of reasonable quality.<p>If this approach is a no-go, a ready device with some physical interface (and no "cloud"-related garbage) allowing readings would do.
This is why I didn't plug in the BlueAir my gf kindly bought us.<p>People have figured out how to run them off raspberry pis since I believe though, so I should sort it out to run cloudless.
The article is missing some details. It doesn’t say how you agree to the contract. I assume there’s some software you have to install to get data out of the device, and this term is in the EULA?<p>Is the software necessary to use the device - you could just not install it, or someone could write a third party driver that doesn’t make you agree to these terms.
How do they protect from false data injection? Are the sensors cryptographically signing their data?<p>BTW are there any sensors that encrypt and sign data before sending out for real security? I am not able to construct such a device, so I hope anybody did already? preferably open hardware?
