Do I have to interpret this lack of reaction as 'the datamodel will just expanded be with every AQ device'. That seems weird as the meteo stations do share tables and fields. Multiple meteo stations require multiple instances of CMX. Should multiple AQ stations not require the same?
It does! But implementing this will probably mean dropping device specific data and like the weather data just storing common attributes. If anybody wants to kick off a discussion on the attributes to store then that could be beneficial.
