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):

• M5Stack Core2 ESP32 IoT Development Kit
• Temperature, humidity & barometric pressure sensors: ENV II Unit with Temperature Humidity Environment Sensor (SHT30+BMP280)
• NDIR CO2 Sensors: Sensirion SCD30, SenseAir Sunrise

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.
