Geez this will be alarming like crazy after my protein drinks
Doesn't measure methan.
FYI: Lot of the Sensibo features are behind a subscription paywall.
What you mean?
Yep, it shits me about their AC units as they work so well.
Doesn't seem to apply to this unit? Only their AC range has the energy saver plan as far as I can see on their website
Does this work with Home Assistant?
Correct. Not home kit
Oh cool
Cool… so it tells you if your air is shit.. then what?
Gasmask up!
Then you buy an air purifier which should be on sale in 2 weeks 😝😝
Dont even need to wait the 2 weeks

haha JB is 2 steps ahead of me!
Then you open the window and let fresh air in.
Unless it’s smoke causing PM2.5 lol
Information is power?
get HA to flush the toilet
Hold your breath until it gets better?
Saw this and was hopeful of similar deep cuts on their other products…. But no dice
Mrs will know I farted
She already does, she's just being friendly.
Isn't it expired?
Yes, it is expired. Thank you.
correct me if I am wrong , it can be used as a smart fire detector ?
get a fire alarm…
fire alarm does not send notifications to phone , until I wire it to home security
Get a Nest Fire Alarm.
Could get a Nest Protect if you don’t want to physically hook it into another system.
@gareeb: Not sure how this can be setup to send notifications to you but probably not the smartest thing to use as a fire detector. While your sleeping during the notification it sends you during the night, your house burns down around you. A proper smoke alarm will ring out through the house and no doubt be heard by neighbours that can come to the rescue. Don't try to skimp out or Frankenstein something that could save lives. Get yourself a proper fire alarm. Hell an old school fire alarm that takes a 9v battery will work better then this thing.
@worthy1: Thanks mate ,I already have couple of fire alarms but that won't notify me when I am away , let's say if there is an gas leak ?
@worthy1: Neighbors?
These days connected fire alarms have enough false alarms that neighbors are not going to bother until its been ringing for 10 minutes or more.
You can write a Home Assistant script to monitor for sudden rise in temperature, CO2 and particulates, then send an email to the fire brigade. <[email protected]>
I have four of their sensibo aircon controllers. They’re good.
I see little point in this device, though. The sale price is what it should be at all the time. $249 is ridiculous as rrp.
Probs only PM2.5 the most practical, unless live in a dungeon for CO2
The CO2 level does not matter directly (unless you live in a cave) but is proxy for the ventilation level per person.
With Covid, people were looking at CO2 level to indicate the concentration of airborne viruses. It is a useful metric.
Im tempted to grab a few for the house if they integrate with Home Assistant use them to monitor temperatures in different rooms that will trigger the AC system.
bought one for the same reason
Because they are bluetooth
My Aircon is not smart (no app). Can I connect this controller to an Aircon even without remote to make it smart? It is recently installed but just doesn't have remote.

How do you get Perks $10 off voucher?
Sign up to Perks with a new mobile number. Confirmation is sent via sms. Might need a new email too not sure if it's checked.
Aha ok.. I was thinking if I am missing something as a existing customer :)
Seems like a good deal, though it isn't mentioned anywhere if the CO2 sensor uses NDIR technology?
It’s highly unlikely based on price that this uses NDIR for gas measurements
At $400 original price it should have NDIR!!
The modules retail from $50 .
This complete unit on Amazon is only $100:

If reddit is to be believed: (https://www.reddit.com/r/AirQuality/comments/194tedt/sensibo…)
The PM sensor is an IR based sensor: Winsen ZPH04B. The datasheet lists the consistency as +/- 25% or +/- 25 ug/m3. For comparison, the Plantower pms5003 laser sensor is +/-10%
The gas sensor is the ZMOD4410 which measures TVOC and then estimates CO2. Interestingly, the Sensibo app also has a reading for ethanol, which i imagine must be derived/estimated also.
The temp/humidity sensor is the HDC1080. That's a pretty standard piece.
Datasheet for the ZMOD4410 states it's a gas-sense element, not NDIR (https://www.renesas.com/us/en/products/sensor-products/envir…)
Does this require battery or power supply?
Does this have to be put on a wall or has a stand to keep it on desk as well?
Read the product page
Very helpful mate.
It was right there on the product page, under "details."
@rumblytangara: When you are hurrying up to purchase and not missout on deal, I guess not everyone like me can spot "right there"
@amsaini15: You think that some internet stranger on Ozbargain is going to leap in with the right answer faster than the 15 seconds it takes to read the specs on the product page?
Well… I hope it performs better than the JB website! That was seriously awkward!
Gets crap reviews over at Amazon (lack of detecting PM2.5 particles even on smoky days, dreadful WiFi keeps disconnection and needs to be very close by) and trying to find any that give it a decent thumbs up to even consider buying. As I use HomeAssistant wonder if there are better ESP32 devices out there that work better (yet to look)?
Deal expired? page no longer showing
Expired
Link not working anymore. Probably was a pricing error.
$49 is what it was supposed to cost. You can make one yourself even cheaper with comparable results.
Bii $49 is what it was supposed to cost. You can make one yourself even cheaper with comparable results.
<facepalm>
Why eat at a restaurant when you can buy the ingredients direct from the half a dozen farmers, grow your own herbs in the backyard, and cook the meal at home for a fraction of the price?
The BOM for a budget DIY sensor might cost that… in USD and without any shipping costs.
Add the several hours to put it together and code it (so you're valuing your time at zero), and then you end up with something that looks like a hacked together piece of shit.
Yeah, makes sense. Let's see how you get on with that.
While I have a few sensible sky and they work pretty well, don’t think it’s worth getting a air quality monitor even at this price
IMO it’s better to get a good air purifier (eg. xiaomi 3H) which detects PM 2.5 and automatically increases air flow based on air quality
If you concerned about air quality, you get both.
You get purifiers to filter the air, and you get sensors to verify the purifiers are running fast enough. I don't trust the sensors in Xiaomi purifiers- I've tested mine.
Generally not a problem in Oz anyway, outside of bushfire season.
The xiaomi air purifier sensor does work for me, had a few occasions when I was doing Korean BBQ at home and the xiaomi air purifier detected smoky air and increased air flow
They work, but in my experience they are not very accurate. Korean BBQ is like nuking your room with particulates, of course any sensor will recognise that- even smoke alarms can trigger.
@rumblytangara: probably will fall back to the actual use case then
for me and my family, the use case of the air purifier is mainly to reduce pollen in air, which usually have the size of PM > 10
so as long as it can detect and filter them out, I am ok with it
In regards to korean BBQ scenario
my google nest smoke alarm didnt raise the alert because the air quality wasnt bad to that point (I can confirm my nest smoke alarm is working as I did get alert when using the air fryer last time)
the xiaomi air purifier only show as "amber" instead of "red" status light
But I do agree that air quality monitor itself is useless unless there's an associated air purifier, so probably getting this air quality monitor meaning you will need to get the sensibo air purifier too
(sensibo should probably just in-build the sensor within their purifier….)
Its better to live in denial
Nah, air quality in Egypt is some of the worst in the world.
So anybody want to buy mine at cost before I return it? Readings are not accurate. I should have researched more carefully.
