I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place or not, but here goes. I built an air quality sensor (Plantower/AdaFruit) using an Arduino Uno R4. I can print data to the serial port and can select from several LEDs to show the AQI range. I'd like to write the PM2 data to my IPhone so I can detect when the AQI gets into the problem range. Can someone point me in the right direction to get some help on this. Thanks much in advance!

You will need to either use the Arduino IoT cloud, or (I have not used it) possibly RemoteXY (others here have experience) OR add a webserver (with the AQI variables added) to the UNO and then just use your phone's browser.

You can add a Bluetooth module (like the HC-05 or HM-10) to your Arduino to enable wireless communication with your iPhone. You can also consider ESP32. It has built-in Bluetooth.
