From the article, it looks like it involves a significant investment in DIY time and parts acquisition.
Are you using the custom PCB and 3D-printed LED mounts in the instructions? What are you doing differently?
- TeMPOraL 4y agoI've seen articles about it; my understanding it that at minimum, it only involves a small amount of simple soldering to connect an ESP8266 (or ESP32)-equipped board to the IKEA PCB, which is about the limit of what I can do in my current conditions. It also fits into the original enclosure without damaging it, which is a nice bonus. I keep it on my list as a last-resort option, because of two factors: 1. That's only a particulate sensor, and I'm hoping I can find something more comprehensive - at least with TVOC, but a legitimate CO₂ would be nice too. 2. Unless immediately hacked, it's just a paperweight - I'm not going to bother manually recording the two-bit measurement it displays, and my wife isn't fond of colorful indicator lights illuminating the apartment at night.
