CO2 Monitor for Meeting Rooms - Arduino Kit
Meeting Room Ventilation Monitor Kit with Arduino Uno – Breathable Spaces with Automatic Alerts
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Stuffy meeting rooms sap focus and energy. This kit lets you build a real‑time CO2 monitor that reads indoor carbon dioxide with an MH-Z19B sensor. When levels cross 1000 ppm—the point where drowsiness starts—a relay switches on an exhaust fan and a bright OLED displays a warning. It’s a practical smart‑home gadget that directly improves air quality in schools, offices, and homes, without needing any coding experience to start.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a compact air quality station on a breadboard. The Arduino Uno reads CO2 concentration from the MH-Z19B sensor every two seconds, shows the live ppm value on a crisp 0.96‑inch OLED, and compares it against a preset threshold. Once the reading stays above 1000 ppm for a few seconds, the relay clicks on—connecting your exhaust fan (or any alert device). The OLED simultaneously flashes a “Ventilate Now” message, creating the exact logic a real meeting room ventilation system uses.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing a UART‑based CO2 sensor and decoding its data
- Driving a 0.96‑inch OLED display over I2C to show real‑time readings
- Controlling a 5V relay module safely to switch mains‑powered devices
- Writing conditional logic in Arduino IDE that triggers actions based on sensor thresholds

Who This Kit Is For
Students from CBSE Class 11–12 exploring embedded systems, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates working on indoor air quality mini‑projects, and ATL Tinkering Lab participants will find this kit exactly matches syllabus needs. It’s also a quick prototype for Smart India Hackathon teams tackling sustainable office solutions and for hobbyists who want a genuinely useful first Arduino project—no prior electronics background required.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code for the AI companion that walks through each connection; you can also message us on WhatsApp for human help within a few hours.
Will this kit work with my existing exhaust fan?
Yes, the relay module can switch a standard 230V AC exhaust fan. Adult supervision is required when connecting to mains wiring, and the diode protects the circuit from voltage spikes.
Can I set a different CO2 threshold?
Absolutely. The Arduino sketch is open and well‑commented; the AI companion can guide you to change the threshold value to any ppm you need, such as 800 ppm for sensitive environments.
Do I need soldering?
No soldering at all. All components plug directly into the included breadboard using the male‑to‑male jumper wires, so you can build and modify the circuit easily.
