Air Quality – CCS811:
Your Smart Home Station device is equipped with CCS811 Air
Quality module as a digital gas sensor solution that senses a
wide range of Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs),
including equivalent carbon dioxide (eCO2) and metal oxide
(MOX) levels. VOCs are often categorized as pollutants and/or
sensory irritants and can come from a variety of sources like
construction materials (paint, carpet, etc.), machines (copiers,
processors, etc.) and even people (breathing, smoking, etc.).
This functionality with SHS-101 is intended for indoor air quality
monitoring in personal devices such as watches and phones.
The SHS-101 onboard CCS811 module supports multiple
measurement modes that have been optimized for low-power
consumption during an active sensor measurement and idle
mode extending battery life in portable applications.
Note: Please be aware that the CCS811 datasheet
recommends a burn-in of 48 hours and a run-in of 20
minutes (you must allow 20 minutes for the sensor to
warm up and output valid data).
