Find citizen science sensor stations (senseBox, openSenseMap network) near a lat/lon and return their latest readings — hyperlocal temperature, humidity, air pressure, PM2.5/PM10 air quality, illuminance, UV, noise. Answers "sensor readings near me", "what does the local air quality sensor say". Community-operated uncalibrated hardware: quality varies, so cross-check outliers. Filter to one measurement type with `phenomenon` (Phenomenon names on openSenseMap are mostly German (exact sensor titles): "Temperatur" (temperature °C), "rel. Luftfeuchte" (relative humidity %), "Luftdruck" (air pressure hPa), "PM2.5" and "PM10" (particulate matter µg/m³), "Beleuchtungsstärke" (illuminance lx), "UV-Intensität" (UV µW/cm²), "Lautstärke" (noise)). Stations silent for more than 7 days are skipped unless include_stale=true. Example: opensensemap_nearby({ latitude: 52.52, longitude: 13.405, phenomenon: "PM2.5" })
