Strange jumps in MH-Z18B CO2 sensor values

alowhum Plugin Developer 5 Aug 2020, 09:39 last edited by alowhum 5 Aug 2020, 09:48

I have a MH-Z19B CO2 sensor (as part of the Candle system).

In the logs I see some strange sudden jumps between measured levels.

I don't think it's an issue with the code.

Could this be related to an internal re-calibration of the device somehow? Has anyone else seen something similar?

Or maybe the sensor is just dying?

I want to thank @FcNanoLed. I had long thought about a serial gateway. This would be a way to add I/O to a linux computer. In the process of trying to help, I built up a linux machine running virtual box. In the virtual machine I ran Home Assistant The not well documented part of that was to connect the USB port of the computer to the virtual machine (settings-->USB-->USB Device Filters) (note that one can buy a refurbished PC for about the same price as an equivalently configured RPi) So thanks for the inspiration!

I've found that: char *protocolMyMessage2Serial(const MyMessage &message) { (void)snprintf_P(_fmtBuffer, (uint8_t)MY_GATEWAY_MAX_SEND_LENGTH, PSTR("%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%" PRIu8 ";%s\n"), message.getSender(), message.getSensor(), message.getCommand(), message.isEcho(), message.getType(), message.getString(_convBuffer)); return _fmtBuffer; } We put in the print "message.getEcho()", but this isn't echoed message. I think we should put "message.getRequestEcho()" here.

Update and problem fixed! For everybody that will encouter this, the problem was at the sensor side because of the folder of the sensor! We created some metal brackets for it and they where exactly the same diameter. The fact that the mount squeezed the sensor made it return the lowest value. Just needed to adjust the hole and everything was ok!
