    I'm looking at the code provided for this sensor and am a bit confused by this bit on the connections:

     * 
     *   A H A   >>> 5V
     *   B       >>> A0
     *   H       >>> GND
     *   B       >>> 10K ohm >>> GND
     * ```
    

    What is A,H, B?
    Shouldnt it be

    Vcc -> 5V
    Gnd -> Gnd
    A0 -> A0
    A0 -> 10k -> GND

      Depends on your sensor.
      It yours comes with the board http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MQ-Gas-Sensor-Carrier-board-for-MQ3-MQ2-MQ4-MQ5-MQ7-MQ9-MQ6-MQ8-MQ135-arduino-/171387108192?hash=item27e777bb60:g:fv8AAOSwW1ZTxKUz

      you do not have to add anything.

        yes and no, you don't have a datasheet for the board... 10K is 10K so you know it ;-)

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

          Actually, I have the datasheet for my board and this is adjustable resistor :)
          Anyway, I got mine working without any additional 10k resistors. I hope it helps.
