Add additional data in Air Quality Sensor PM 2.5 / PM 10 decoder

Open matthias-bs opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Currently only PM 2.5 / PM 10 mass concentration values are provided, but the message payload seems to contain more, currently unknown data.

The integrated sensor is a Sensirion SPS30.

Potential candidates

  • Battery status
  • Presence of external power supply connection
  • Update rate
  • PM 0.5 / PM 4 mass concentration values
  • PM number concentration values

Hi Matthias,

I have just received a Bresser PM2.5/PM10 + dedicated Display! Bresser part 7110300 £59.84 via Amazon dispatches Bresser-UK sold by Bresser-UK!

Bresser-UK online price £130 + delivery!!!

Bresser 7009970 PM2.5/PM10 NO display - Amazon £40.85 ... Bresser-UK £109!!!

Anyway... Initial testing... CRC 2bytes, ID (I suspect still 4bytes) changes on reset? aaaagh. Also changed after ~ 12~24 Hrs (000000xx).

further tests to do ... any thoughts?

Hi MacH,

The ID is two bytes! I hope I didn't make any mistakes when I back-ported it from WeatherSensor.cpp... You might want to cross check it. I couldn't test the rtl_433 version.

I sent back my sensor for replacement, because the USB connector was not assembled correctly. After I got it back and when I have time, I will have a look at the sensor's I²C bus.

Python script for monitoring the actual Sensirion SPS30 output: https://github.com/matthias-bs/BresserWeatherSensorReceiver/tree/main/extras/hw_test/pm/Python-Sensirion-SPS30

The SPS30 sents 3 consecutive sets of measurement values (floating point) in a row. Each set consists of:

  • PM1 [µg/m³]
  • PM2.5 [µg/m³]
  • PM4 [µg/m³]
  • PM10 [µg/m³]
  • PM1 [#/cm³]
  • PM2.5 [#/cm³]
  • PM4 [#/cm³]
  • PM10 [#/cm³]
  • typical size [µm]

The aim is to find out:

  • How are the floating point values evaluated (selected, averaged, truncated, ...) and converted to integer values?
  • Which values are eventually transmitted in the radio message? Only 3 out of 4 mass concentration and particle number concentration values seem to be present in the radio message.
  • At which position?

Hi Matthias,

Did you ever monitor the Comms bus on the PM10/SPS30.

I have connected with a logic analyser and found some weird results, some of which makes sense but does not follow the datasheet!

My PM10 does not have SEL connected to GND therfore Communication is via uart. I have include my Capture (it is saleae)in zipfile. I Reset the PM10 and wait for trigger then capture for 10 minutes. IC communicates with sensor via TX and RX data, sort of makes sense as per datasheet. IC to RF chip (Transmits 10 times)??? (No request for info no comms bus)?? ... then again IC communicates with sensor via TX and RX data sort of makes sense as per datasheet.

I also receive RF via SI4461 and monitor Clk/RxData.

What do you think.

Hi @MacH-21,

Yes, the SEL is floating, i.e. communication is done via uart. I also checked that data is encoded as floating point by checking the specific configuration command/response.

Here is an example generated with the Python script mentoned above:

Observations

  • In the UART output, PM4 and PM10 are always very close
  • Decoding of PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 seems to be correct
  • Assumed particle number concentration values are slightly off w.r.t. UART output
