Very cool project, we need more competition in this space - other option is like Air Gradient One, also open source.

Famous HN "but": I find it baffling that by default we are shown this cutesy animation, that gets boring real fast, and actual measurement values in tiny font in the corner, which must be manually switched to for each sensor? Why not just show all sensor values in large font?

There is a screen saver which display time/temp/ppm/rh.

And:

Thanks! As other commenters suggested, there is a screen saver (after 30s idle) that shows all values (horizontal and vertical) at a glance. The layout is not final yet and something I want to improve (make bigger). You can try it in the simulator.

Yeah the display design seems to put the emphasis on fun rather than functional

I guess this is one of the cool things about an open stack, right?
