Hey all,

A couple of weeks ago I posted my 3D printable pegboard organizers, and today I’m releasing the Only Sensor line of home automation sensors.

Fully free and open, complete with wiring diagrams, cases, component bill of materials, and instructions for assembly.

You source and build them yourself, with acquisition costs ranging from $2-$35 to build, and options for:

mmWave presence
PIR motion detection
Temperature
Humidity
LUX
PM <10µm AQI
PM <2.5µm AQI
PM <1µm AQI
NOX
VOC

All integrate with Home Assistant via ESPHome.

All the details can be found at: https://nowsci.com/only-sensor/

It certainly did to me when I made these. I ended up using an old Android phone for that part, but many members of the ESPHome community working with these sensors use it and have never reported a problem. HLK are the original manufacturers of the LD radar chips.
