    @hek about initial calibration, how would I do check if there is a value in the eeprom or not, and if not run an initial calibration ?

      Hi,
      First of al I'm a novice in all of this. I can read some code but the whole arduino thing is new to me.

      I tried to get the MQ135 working on my uno with tearing apart the : https://github.com/empierre/arduino/blob/master/1.3/MQ135dgi.ino.
      I tried to pull out the bits and parts to get a accurate reading on my serial monitor.

      It sometimes read 1 or 2, but most of the time it is 0.
      Can it have something to do with it being mounted on its own PCB? (I ordered the one suggested in the store..)
      Can someone help me out?

        @Omemanti hello have you plugged it on the right pins, this is an analogic sensor to be plugged on A0, with 5V and GND pins. Don't wire the digital one, useless...

        My minimal value is 53.. so not 0 or 1 hwich looks more like the digital output ;-)

        z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
        rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
        mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

            @Omemanti cabling is correct

            z-wave - Vera -> Domoticz
            rfx - Domoticz <- MyDomoAtHome <- Imperihome
            mysensors -> mysensors-gw -> Domoticz

              Hi,
              Where can I find AirQuality1.xml?? (or all files related to this device if there are others then the .xml)

              01 09/03/14 13:46:53.685 ctrl_chr[31;1mDevice_LuaUPnP::LoadDeviceDoc can't load /etc/cmh-lu//D_AirQuality1.xmlctrl_chr[0m <0x2acc9000>
              02 09/03/14 13:46:53.686 ctrl_chr[33;1mJobHandler_LuaUPnP::m_sMissingFile_set /etc/cmh-lu//D_AirQuality1.xmlctrl_chr[0m <0x2acc9000>

              Seems like if this file is missing it brakes the whole MySensors plugin.
              All devices related to MySensors plugin are blank and nothing seems to update.
              Deleting the device that use AirQuality.xml will make the rest work again.

              Help!!

                  ahh, that's why I cant find it... no pressure from my side to get one done but maybe we should mention this little detail on the MySensors building page just as a heads up for others since there is a sketch published and all...

                        Thanks!

                        Still thinking about you gas_type suggestion. It would introduce another level of device types. Hmm..

                              @epierre Couldn't find it either, sorry...
                              I wouldn't buy a $52,- component without a datasheet, if I were you...

                                @Yveaux When I asked for the WSP110 they sent me only this (not the same for this one is HCHO and well documented...) :

                                    @hek that should be the more sensitive, and since it is given mostly for CHCO I guess this is it... (Formaldehyde)

                                          Davide answered me, lot of things to read but a warning:

                                          Anyway, for consistent CO2 investigaion, you HAVE to chose a NDIR sensor, those chemical sensor can not be used. They decay in a few year, and they differs a little one from each other.
                                          

                                          I've asked him back for precision if he speaks of the organic sensor or the ceramic ones (like MQ...).

                                          For the CO2, it is MH-Z14 which is $66+ priced.
