CO2 and Air Quality Hub Kit with Arduino Uno + Sensor
Build a Real-Time CO2 & Air Quality Monitor with Arduino Uno – Smart Home Hub Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit transforms raw sensor data into a meaningful, at-a-glance air quality score right on your desk. You’ll combine an infrared CO₂ sensor, a broad-spectrum gas sensor, and a precision temperature/humidity module to build a monitoring station that doesn’t just display numbers—it tells you whether the air you're breathing is healthy, and what to do about it.
What You'll Build
A self-contained desktop air quality hub that continuously reads CO₂ levels from the MH-Z19B, VOCs and smoke from the MQ-135, and ambient temperature/humidity from the DHT22. The Arduino Uno fuses these inputs into a single, intuitive air quality score shown on a 1.8-inch color TFT alongside icons and plain-language recommendations like “Ventilate Now” or “Ideal Air”. By the end, you’ll have a calibrated, deployable device ready to monitor your classroom, bedroom, or makerspace.
What You'll Learn
- Calibrate and read an infrared CO₂ sensor (MH-Z19B) over UART serial communication
- Read and compensate an analog MQ-135 gas sensor with temperature/humidity cross-sensitivity correction
- Design a composite air quality index algorithm that merges multiple sensor readings into a health-relevant score
- Render dynamic graphics, text, and icons on a TFT display using the ST7735 library

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring environmental sensing, B.Tech ECE/EEE students working on smart home prototypes, and Smart India Hackathon teams tackling air quality challenges will all find this kit immediately useful. It also fits ATL Tinkering Lab modules and hobby clubs at IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS where sensor fusion and display integration are core learning goals.
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 box's QR code to launch the AI companion trained on this exact kit—it can help with wiring, code debugging, and calibration steps. You can also message us on WhatsApp for direct help from our support team.
Can I log air quality data over time?
The Arduino Uno can store readings on an SD card module or send them to the cloud with an ESP8266 (not included). The AI companion includes optional wiring diagrams and code snippets to add data logging to your project.
How do I calibrate the MH-Z19B and MQ-135 sensors?
The MH-Z19B auto-calibrates over 24 hours of continuous power; our guide explains how to run a forced baseline. For the MQ-135, we provide a simple clean-air offset routine using known baseline values—the AI companion walks you through each step interactively.
Is this kit suitable for a school science exhibition or CBSE project?
Absolutely. The real-time air quality score and on-screen recommendations make it visually engaging and easy for judges to understand. Many students have used similar sensors in CBSE science exhibitions and Smart India Hackathon with excellent results.
MH-Z19B and MQ-135 and DHT22 give composite air quality score on TFT with recommendations.
