Hey all,

A couple of weeks ago I posted my 3D printable pegboard organizers, and today I’m releasing the Only Sensor line of home automation sensors.

Fully free and open, complete with wiring diagrams, cases, component bill of materials, and instructions for assembly.

You source and build them yourself, with acquisition costs ranging from $2-$35 to build, and options for:

  • mmWave presence
  • PIR motion detection
  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • LUX
  • PM <10µm AQI
  • PM <2.5µm AQI
  • PM <1µm AQI
  • NOX
  • VOC

All integrate with Home Assistant via ESPHome.

All the details can be found at: https://nowsci.com/only-sensor/

    Not speaking for Mr Lemon, but for me CO2 levels are an interesting metric to trigger my air exchanger / HVAC fan combo for in a given zone, since it indicates stale air in general.

      Good to know, maybe I’ll add a MH-Z19.

      Same ^

      CO2 sensor for me is the most important.
