Mhz19-C CO2 sensor

I have been using a number of Mhz19-B Co2 sensors with Espeasy for some time now to my complete satisfaction.
Now I have bought a Mhz19-C, but I can't get it to work, tried with various Espeasy relases.
I use a Wemos for this.
My question now is, are there other users with a working Mhz19-C?
Yours sincerely,
Patrick

I still have it in my drawer to test. Not yet tested myself.

Do you have some log showing what might be wrong?

Yep, i'm working with the Mhz19-C. No problem at all. I use ESP_Easy_mega_20210223_normal_ESP8266_4M1M together with a Wemos.

What voltage do you apply to the sensor?
The older versions were known to still work on voltages lower than 5V (e.g. 3V3) but their readings were for sure affected by it.
Not sure if the newer sensors still can be run on lower than specified voltages.
