ENS160 Air Quality Sensor
The ENS160 Air Quality Sensor by Gravity is a reliable and efficient solution for monitoring indoor air quality. Designed for seamless integration into your smart home system, this sensor provides real-time data on various air quality parameters to help you maintain a healthier living environment.
TL;DR
- Measures TVOC, eCO2, and IAQ index in real time.
- I2C interface; pair with the SIMO.io I2C Interface.
- Compact form factor for living spaces and utility rooms.
Key Features:
-
Comprehensive Air Quality Monitoring: The ENS160 sensor measures key air quality indicators, including total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), equivalent CO2 (eCO2) levels, and indoor air quality (IAQ) index. This data enables you to understand and manage the air quality in your home effectively.
-
I2C Interface for Easy Integration: Utilizing the I2C communication protocol, the ENS160 connects easily to your Game Changer controller board, facilitating straightforward setup and data retrieval.
-
Compact and Lightweight Design: This sensor's compact design allows for easy installation in various locations throughout your home, making it suitable for monitoring air quality in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and more.
-
Long-Lasting Performance: Built with durability in mind, the ENS160 is designed to provide consistent and reliable performance over time, ensuring accurate air quality readings.
-
User-Friendly Data Access: With the ability to access real-time air quality data through the SIMO.io platform, you can easily monitor changes in air quality and take action to improve your indoor environment.
Wiring & Use
Connect via the I2C Interface module (IO1/IO2). Add the component in SIMO.io to visualize IAQ, eCO2, and TVOC, and trigger actions (ventilation boost, notifications).
The ENS160 brings actionable IAQ insight into your automations.
Wiring Tip
The I2C communication protocol is generally not designed for long-distance communication, but we've discovered a way to significantly extend cable lengths by using standard CAT5 or higher UTP cable. We have successfully installed various sensors across multiple smart home systems using this wiring scheme:
- Sensor Yellow → Green → SDA
- Sensor Blue → Blue → SCL
- Sensor Red → White/Orange → 5V
- Sensor Black → White/Green and White/Blue → GND
The most important part is that SCL and SDA lines must be paired with GND to protect them from interference. This setup leaves you with three free wires, which we sometimes use to connect a 12V sensor, such as a motion sensor or smoke detector. In this case, we use the Orange wire to transmit +12V, while the Brown pair is used to carry the sensor signal itself.
Using a regular CAT5 UTP cable in a careful and sensible manner allows for extended I2C communication distances, with the added benefit of being able to connect additional sensors.
