My #airQuality monitor is finlazed with a temperature and humidity sensor. You can see on the graph when I was soldering. I'm glad I'm not doing that activity very often!

I am trying to categorize the sensor readings into ranges: perfect, healthy, average, bad, and terrible. However, I am having difficulty determining the ranges and a formula to categorize them using a single sensor.

Any advice?
