Air quality

Choose between MQ gas sensors, VOC/eCO2 indoor-air sensors, true CO2 modules and particulate sensors without treating every air-quality breakout as the same detector.

Light and colour

Photoresistors and color sensors both respond to light, but they expose very different signals and are not sensible drop-in substitutes.
