      Hi guys,

      I'm planning to buy one of these boys : https://m5stack.com/products/pm-2-5-sensor-usb-power-sht20

      In order to just leave it running, logging air quality around my home.

      Thing is that I want it to run continuously and I don't know what else should I buy in order to accomplish this (battery?, some kind of usb-to-wall adapter?), would mind sharing your suggestions?

      Also, I'm planning on putting it outdoors, but it's a friendly kind of outdoors, on my porch, no extreme temperature/humidity, etc...

        @al-mo I’ve only just got mine and haven’t played much with it. UIFLOW only provides basic access to the sensor but I have it out in the shed with the 3D printer.

        I don’t think it would last very long in a damp atmosphere so outside it not really a good idea.

        UIFlow, so easy an adult can learn it!
        If I don't know it, be patient!
        I've ether not learned it or am too drunk to remember it!

              Hey
              My PM2.5 just arrive and i have same idea to put it outside.
              Before it i will try to add CO2 sensor as well. Then all will go from powerbank or lipo battery plus solar charger.

                Mine is in the office and will be connected to the solar system to act as a smoke detector as that is where my 3D printer live.
