Product description: Air quality sensor ENS160 - I2C - internal - DFRobot SEN0537
The DFRobot module based on the ENS160 ScioSense system, which is used to monitor air purity in rooms. It processes IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) data such as TVOC , eCO2 , AQI , it is a combination of TrueVOC and MOX technologies, which enable quick, interference-free and high-accuracy measurements. The sensor is supplied with the voltage in the range from 3.3 V to 5 V , it communicates via the I2C bus.
