Project guide

Use

This project has only been tested with a QT Py ESP32-S3. Other boards may not work as expected.

Plug in the Vindriktning to a USB C cable and power supply. The QT Py ESP32-S3 will receive power from the PCB and run the CircuitPython code.

Over time, you'll see the PM2.5 data from the PM1006 sensor inside the Vindriktning be logged to Adafruit IO.

If the air quality rises above your defined threshold, the Action you set up will be triggered and you'll receive an alert.
