I did some online research and found that "PM4.25" seems to be an industry standard. Are you sure "PM4" isn't just an abbreviation used by your sensor?

The actual question would be if statically defined PM sizes are adequate.

A "quick" solution I could think of that's both strict and allows different PM sizes would be the use of JSONSchema Pattern Properties.
However I've never used them and don't know how API clients deal with this. @SpaceApi/core can anyone of you provide input here?
Another approach would be to not use named properties, but a list of objects with the particle size as a separate property, e.g.:
"particulate_matter": [
{
"location": "Hackcenter",
"lastchange": 1756499104,
"properties": [
{
"measurement": "PM10",
"value": 20,
"unit": "µg/m³"
},
{
"measurement": "PM2.5",
"value": 25,
"unit": "µg/m³"
}
]
}
]Again, input from @SpaceApi/core is very welcome.
