@alxndr does the Sensirion sensor really measure CO2? Usually the cheaper ones measure something and estimate CO2 @wtremmel It does, here's the data sheet: https://sensirion.com/media/documents/48C4B7FB/66E05452/CD_DS_SCD4x_Datasheet_D1.pdf I also own an Aranet4, and in my comparison, the SCD40 was usually within 50 ppm of the Aranet4. Definitely accurate enough to help breathing humans with their risk assessment.  @alxndr Ahoy, thank you for sharing this! Can I check I understand what's going on here? Once flashed, this little box basically sets up the sensor to expose values using a Prometheus exporter, to allow another machine on the same wifi network to scrape regularly, and then chart in Grafana. It's a bit like how might you monitor a set of virtual machines in a web application, right?  @alxndr Gave this a boost, as I've been looking for a project like this myself and really liked the way you documented everything in the README. Wishing you a happy new year and sending my thanks for publishing this! ~n  |
