  • As the pandemic on going and we stay indoor more often, monitor carbon dioxide and other harmful TVOC particle in our living space since to be a good idea.
    But such sensor are usually price above 150-200 USD each, do we have a more affordable version?
    When I browse the internet, I stumble upon this :
    ZN-2CO1 Air Quality Detector
    And it claim it can detect :
    CO2 (400-6000PPM)
    TVOC (0-2.0mg/m3)
    HCHO (0-0.6mg/m3)
    and Temperature and Humidity as well.
    Cost well below 30 USD, which is way to cheap, knowing how much a normal CO2 sensor will cost like.
    I did a teardown, found out that
    It only have 2 sensor:
    DHT11 clone - Temperature and Humidity sensor, most probably clone
    TPM-300A-V2.2 TVOC Air Quality sensor - using TP-401 sensor
    Documentation below:

    solarbotics.co...
    There is no CO2 Sensor or any precision sensor inside the product.
    The MCU of the display is STM32F0 china clone GD32, a lipo charging circuit, a switching regulator for 3.3V, a 2.4" IPS LCD display.
    The TPM-300A-V2.2 module actually output a data stream:
    2C E4 00 5D 00 1B 01 BB 44
    2C E4 is the module address
    00 5D TVOC high low bit
    00 1B CHOH high low bit
    01 BB CO2 high low bit
    44 Parity bit
    Conclusion:
    Don't buy this. the product is fake. The data read out is not the actual reading and just make out.
