    • First ever project / first steps in home automation and monitoring

      Hi

      How to monitor CO2, VOC, temperature, humidity, pressure, dust, light, smoke, motion in a room ?

      I know there are consumer products that monitor these things, but I don't want to buy separate devices to track these values.

      So I am looking for a DIY solution to have these sensors in a single enclosure.

      After doing some initial research, I found out this can be done with an ESP32 controller / ESPhome / home assistant.

      I have no clue to start with all this... if someone more experienced is willing to lend a helping hand please?

      I am interested in monitoring following values for a few rooms :

      • CO2: MH-Z19B NDIR / SCD30

      • VOC: SGP30 / MICS-6814 / TGS8100

      • temperature / humidity / atmospheric pressure : BME280

      • dust (PM 1 / 2.5 / 10) : PMS7003

      • light / luminosity / lux : TSL2561

      • smoke

      • motion / presence

      Is this possible ? If yes, how can I do this ?

      A detailed step-by-step guide (like explained to a 10-year old) is much appreciated.

      If it's not possible on a single board, what is the max amount of sensors I can combine. Because I don't want to hang 3 boxes in each room 😉

      Things I am wondering or looking for :

      • integration with Home Assistant

      • powered with battery or wire?

      • ESP32 ?

      • mounted in a nice enclosure on the wall

      • easy to replace a sensor (after a few years)

      Thank you very much!
