SDS011 suddenly no longer available

Yes, my one is installed like the first scheme.

I mounted the sensor and other components on din-rail in a big electronic box. A silicone hose ~30-40cm goes outside the box. The Box has near the SDS011 a hole protected with mesh to let the air from the fan goes outside the box. Next weekend I’ll post a picture. Maybe someone can see where the problem is

Have you tried to briefly remove it from the power outlet? Simply rebooting does not always work, you also need to power cycle it.

Thank you! A power cycle did the trick :smiley:

You are welcome. :grinning:
That seems to happen a lot, I wonder how many have experienced this.

At least one person… :slight_smile:

My installation is hard wired. It’s not easy to power cycle. That’s the reason I only tried to reboot. Have to install a sonoff or Shelly for next time :wink:

Make it two, please.

Yes, I remember there are many threads about this.

Perhaps I should have said "how many have not experienced this"instead. :grin:

Here the pictures of my installation


BME 280 and Display


Red light on SDS ? Push RST.
And fan noise?

It is working now. A power cycle was needed. Installed today a sonoff in another junction box where the cable comes from to be able to remote power cycle for the next time :wink:

That looks cool! If you have space in your case, a horizontal orientanion of the SDS011 might save you from a noisy fan later.

Is that a heating element in the inlet? Was this custom?

I assume you mean the PCB under the ESP? No this is just a breakout board. The ESP board is just plugged into it. So i can change the ESP board without dealing with cables and connectors.My first plan was to power the ESP also with 5 volt via the breakout board but I got it only running with supplying it via the USB-port. The sensor box lives under my Carport thus I hear nothing from it. On the other hand if there is some Fan noise it not really will bug me :stuck_out_tongue:

Not the PCB
I mean this.

Oh, this is only Filter with cuttet mesh for PC case fans. I used this part and scaled it down till the silicone hose fits on it. The three rings are for keep the mesh in place.

@Moebius, how much time and effort did you invest in these sensors. I would like to install a similar one… :slight_smile:

This was not a one weekend project :wink: If you want to rebuild it I can try to bring together the links to the parts as well as printed parts.
