Die Namen sind super.

Falls Du bei #IKEA einkaufen gehen solltest, der ebenfalls schick benannte Luftqualitätssensor #Vindriktning funktioniert leider eher nur so halbgut. Man kann aber selbst noch Sachen dazu löten, wie einen CO2-Sensor, dafür ist Platz.

Das neue und deutlich teurere #Vindstyrka Kästchen haben wir noch nicht getestet.

If you're willing to do a tiny bit of soldering, you can add an ESP8266 or #esp32 to an Ikea #vindriktning

There are several howtos online, here's mine: https://unixorn.github.io/post/add-smarts-to-ikea-vindriktning-air-sensors/

It's an easy mod, you only need to connect three wires between the ESP and the Vindriktning motherboard. I hadn't soldered anything in 15 years and I did it in about 10 minutes - part of why it took that long was me taking pictures for the blog post.

I have a couple I modded with #Tasmota on, and since I had one in my parts bin, one has a BME688 I put in while I had the #vindriktning opened up.

I wrote it up at https://unixorn.github.io/post/add-smarts-to-ikea-vindriktning-air-sensors/ but the hardest part was not stripping the screws in the plastic case.

Works great with #HomeAssistant and the tasmota integration.

I like the display on the vindstryka but I don't need another air sensor. Using them to house and power an ESP32 with #ESPresence is appealing though.

Just done the #ikeaHack #VINDRIKTNING with an esp8266 and #espHome and now it shows in my #homeAssistant

But I also added a #SCD41 co2, temperature, and humidity sensor.
They're kinda expensive but they are actually sensing co2 not just estimating it based on other readings. At least I hope so for the cost.

Will do a blog on it another day, not that this hack needs even more blogs!

Salvaging tiny wires (not just cells) from vapes is worth it for little jobs like this!

Here it is under test

In das Vorgängermodell #Vindriktning von #Ikea kann man sich selbst einen CO2-Sensor reinlöten, genug Platz ist im Gehäuse.

Die Leute, die #HomeAssistant und #Tasmota nutzen sind eine sehr aktive Community, die mit viel #OpenSource Spirit an die Sache rangehen.
