ESP8266 Air quality sensor
Posted: Friday 24 June 2016 20:40
Hi,
I have "made" an air quality sensor by using a MH-Z19 module bought on Aliexpress for around 25 USD and a ESP8266 201 board.

The code is updating a dummy air quality sensor around every 30 seconds.
The software is a mashup from different sources...and some written by me.......probably some room for some more tweaking.....
