Hi everyone, I would like to share with you a project that I’ve been working on for a little while. I wanted to create my own air quality sensor that was high quality, compact and based on ESPHome.
Let me introduce the Airlytix ES1, it’s an ESPHome based device with a number of sensors for monitoring the environment around you
You can find out more information on the projects site https://docs.airlytix.io/ or if you’re interested in purchasing one they are available on Lectronz
Fantastic!! I’ve been looking for a sensor that can also measure decibels / noise.
This is the only off the shelf one I’ve been able to find, and I’ve been looking hard!!
Could you perhaps share a dashboard or something showing the use of these sensors? It would be nice to see
I just got mine yesterday and had time to unbox today.
I wonder whether it is possible to program it to accept an Ethernet connection over the USBC socket instead of using WiFi?
One of the locations I was going to put one is near where I have a small PoE switch, and if I could program it to work over Ethernet instead of WiFi, I can just get an adapter and plug it in and mount it all to the wall.
It wouldn’t really be possible as the USB-C port isn’t directly connected to the ESP32 it’s really only for power and programming
I recently bought one these. As it is an ESP32 and USB powered, it would be a great choice to act as a Bluetooth proxy. Is it possible to use it as Bluetooth proxy? I adopted the device to ESPHome Dashboar and added the esp32_ble_tracker: and bluetooth_proxy: sections to config and updated the firmware. I don’t think it worked.
Unfortunately it’s not really possible due to memory available on the ESP32. With all the built in sensors it’s uses the majority of the available memory and adding the bluetooth proxy pushes it over the edge.
The best option to get it to work is to sacrifice the audio level sensors, the audio processing uses a large amount of memory and if bluetooth proxy would give you more value I would recommend to remove audio the sensors
I’ve had an Airlytix ES1 sensor for some time now. Recently, however, the ES1 has been rebooting after a minute or so. It will start, connect to WiFi, and then drop the connection.
I’ve collected some logs from the serial port, and it seems like abort() is being called, but it’s difficult to figure out where.
Anything I can look at to help diagnose the problem?
I’ve got a github issue Frequent reboots · Issue #12 · Airlytix/configuration · GitHub from someone else reporting the same thing. I am investigating and will update there
Thanks! I’m tracking the issue on GitHub.
