Dust Level Sensor

written by hek

Do you need help from your home automation system to hint you when it's time to clean the house? With this sensor you could get a gentle reminder when dust levels rises over a predefined level. Or send an SMS to the cleaning company!

/*
 * The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
 * between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
 * The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
 * repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
 * network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.
