new_sensor_api

This is a small API for receiving sensor data from https://sensor.community/ (formerly https://luftdaten.info/) sensor nodes and saving it in an Influx (version 1) Time Series Database.
Also includes a little html based website for showing the current data of one sensor.

Needs python 3.10 at minimum due to usage of match case functionality.
