local api? #50

Why does this app need an access token? The local api is free...

IMHO probably because if it used the local API, You would need the computer running this software in every location where You've got an Awair Element running... And as (kind of) bonus, this way, we get to use Awair's crappy public cloud API which costs them money and let's just be honest, we (the device owners) paid them and now is the time for them to pay us back - in our own data :)

It would be a nice optional feature for those of us with a single sensor.
