From 6826408566dcd6280981da65a02b12792383adf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ThinkPadNL Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2016 12:41:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Update sensor.mhz19.markdown CO2 level outside isn't 250 - 350pmm, but assumed to be 400ppm. It has risen over the years, due to global warming :-( Most sensors that do automatic calibration assume 400ppm as lowest. See also https://www.co2.earth/ for actual CO2 level on the earth. --- source/_components/sensor.mhz19.markdown | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/source/_components/sensor.mhz19.markdown b/source/_components/sensor.mhz19.markdown index 027ada3ee2be..31ca4073856c 100644 --- a/source/_components/sensor.mhz19.markdown +++ b/source/_components/sensor.mhz19.markdown @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ ha_category: sensor ha_release: 0.27 --- -The MH-Z19 is a small nondispersive infrared sensor that can measure CO2 sensors. High CO2 levels can lead to drowsiness, poor concentration, loss of attention or increased heart rate. Outside CO2 levels are usually between 250 and 350ppm, but inside levels can reach between 1000 and 5000 ppm.
