Basics
- An IOT "Cube" / "Brick" that can measure the following information and relay it to the system:
- At Least:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Additional Data, But Will Add Some Cost:
- Carbon Dioxide Concentration
- Light Level Sensing
- Nitrogen Dioxide Concentration
- Ozone Concentration
- Particulate Matter
- PIR Based Occupancy Sensing
- TVOC Concentration
- At Least:
- Some form of basic display would be nice, preferably low power such as a basic LCD screen, labels and Seven Segment Displays / Nine Segment Displays , or an E-Ink Screen
- Leave Smoke Detectors / Carbon Monoxide Detectors as a seperate unit / units?
- Having one of the "Everything Ones" in some "Main Room" and cheap temperature + humidity only for other rooms may make cost more reasonable for larger buildings
- Also merging the device with the "room clock" and/or an alarm clock could reduce cost/make it more reasonable as well
Added Capabilities
- Per-Room HVAC Setting
- Air Quality Data
- Occupancy/Light Levels for Smart Lighting and/or adjustments of HVAC based off of this
Off the Shelf Options
- An article by "Make Use Of" Titled "The 7 Best Smart Air Quality Monitors and Sensors for Your Home" (Is There Any Sponsorship Bias?)
- The Bangood Page on Air Quality Monitors (Seems to be 50-150 USD for the "Everything" Units)
- The Bangood Page on Temperature Humidity Monitors (Seems to be 5-30 USD for Temperature + Humidity Sensors)
Existing Open Source Designs
"How to Mechatronics" Design
- A Video by the Youtube Channel "How To Mechatronics" Titled "DIY Air Quality Monitor - PM2.5, CO2, VOC, Ozone, Temp & Hum Arduino Meter"
- The Post on Their Website on the Project
- "AM6 6 In One Air Quality Detector Laser PM2.5 VOC DART Formaldehyde Sensor E-detector with Open Source Serial Command" (Not sure on it, but neat concept/componet?)
Misc
- "Air Meter Making #4: Complete © GPL3+" ( Arduino + ESP32 based)
- Atmospheric Air Analyser MIT (similar as the above, but uses a 3d printed enclosure (and some different sensors?) )
