Do you need help from your home automation system to hint you when it's time to clean the house? With this sensor you could get a gentle reminder when dust levels rises over a predefined level. Or send an SMS to the cleaning company!
Wiring Things Up
Start by connecting the radio module.
Sensor | Arduino | Comment |
---|---|---|
GND | GND | - |
VCC | +5V | - |
A | A0 | - |
Example
/*
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.
