Re: Switch ESP via MQTT in sleep Mode

Re: Ozone-sensing

This is electrochemical type of sensor, it reacts to the change of gas concentration in nanoampere current range, so there is a potentiostat circuit which converts current to voltage. Winsen's analog front-end has serial output but there's also 0.4-2V analog output, so you may use ADC input to read ...
