Best setup for continuous operation
-
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.

@ajb2k3 How are you powering it up?

@al-mo USB lead into the base.

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.
