AIR QUALITY METER

Goals:

  • DIY (you can modify it and improve it)
  • Low cost equipment
  • Easy and cheap replace of sensors
  • Comprehensible air quality level indicator (good-green, fair-yellow, bad-red)
  • History records
  • Graphics
  • Portable (battery included)

Hardware (first version):

Software to compile:

Visual Studio Code + PlatformIO (arduino libraries, ESP32 SDK)

Progress:

  • Publish first version
  • Realtime data in text mode [done]
  • Webserver [done]
  • JSON output [done]
  • Save history records
  • New: Add LVGL library to improve interface (GUI)
  • New: Include history graphics
  • New: MQTT integration
  • New: Home Assistant integration

Considerations for CO2 Sensor:

  • Readings each 1 or 2 minutes for battery powered devices.
  • Calibration according to manufacturer CO2 sensor (minimum 20 minutes outdoors, avoid to be near persons, vehicles and other contaminants)
  • Lifetime of NDIR CO2 sensors: 5, 10 or 15 years.
