xsherlock Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:39 PM Share Posted November 16, 2015 at 02:39 PM Is dust sensor detecting any standarized dust particle size, like PM10 or PM2.5 Can it be used for the smog detection? The spec of the sensor is not saying that? MAciej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JavaLaurence Posted December 2, 2015 at 08:44 AM Share Posted December 2, 2015 at 08:44 AM I would very much like the answers to the same questions. If the answer is yes, then I'm buying the sensor, otherwise not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borg Posted December 2, 2015 at 06:05 PM Share Posted December 2, 2015 at 06:05 PM The Dust Detector Bricklet can not be used to determine PM10 or PM2.5. This would require that it can distinguish between many small particles and one big particle, which it can not. E.g. pollen (from flowers) would not be registered in PM2.5, since the pollen particles are quite big. But they would register in the Dust Detector Bricklet.

JavaLaurence Posted December 20, 2015 at 03:02 PM Share Posted December 20, 2015 at 03:02 PM I ordered the sensor with the purpose of seeing if traffic pollution can be detected. I don't actually care how the pollution is classed (PMxxx whatever). I'm only interested in seeing a change in value when the traffic is known to be sending us polluted air in our direction. Will report back here once I've been able to test the sensor (waiting on delivery). JL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsherlock Posted December 26, 2015 at 11:04 AM Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 at 11:04 AM Looking forward to your findings. I would prefer my smart home to be a regular AQI station, but maybe it wil give some relevant data anyway. Maciej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
