Do you know the air quality in and around your home?! This air quality sensor can be easily integrated with Home Assistant using an ESP8266 and ESPHome. The BME680 can measure air pressure, air quality, temperature and humidity!
The sensor measures VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) values in the air which allow you to conclude an IAQ (Index for Air Quality). This value tells you whether the air is polluted with potentially harmful elements such as Carbon Monoxide, Acetone and many other things found in household products.
