Indoor CO2 Dashboard Kit with Arduino Uno + DHT22
Indoor CO2 Dashboard Kit with Arduino Uno & DHT22: Build a Smart Room Air Quality Monitor
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Give your child a hands-on introduction to smart home technology. With this kit, they will assemble and program an Arduino-powered dashboard that continuously monitors CO₂, temperature, and humidity. A simple traffic-light LED system glows green, yellow, or red to signal when it’s time to ventilate the room — protecting focus and health.
What You'll Build
A real-time indoor climate display that reads CO₂ concentration from the MH-Z19B sensor, ambient temperature and humidity from the DHT22, and shows the values on a crisp OLED screen. The three-colour LED indicator lights up green when air quality is good, yellow when it’s moderate, and red when ventilation is urgently needed. It’s a practical project that can sit on a desk or bedside and actually improve the room environment.
What You'll Learn
- Wiring sensors and an OLED display to an Arduino Uno on a breadboard
- Reading CO₂ levels from an MH-Z19B sensor using UART serial communication
- Measuring temperature and humidity with a DHT22 digital sensor
- Programming conditional logic to control LEDs based on real-time sensor values

Who This Kit Is For
Young makers aged 5–15 exploring Arduino through a real-world project, CBSE/ICSE students building science exhibition models, and ATL Tinkering Lab participants looking for a guided indoor air quality experiment. Parents who want to introduce coding and electronics with a tangible smart home project will also find it perfect.
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 on the box to chat with our AI companion that knows every step of this project. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for human help within hours.
My child has never coded before. Can they still complete this project?
Absolutely. We provide pre-written code with clear comments, and the AI companion explains each line in simple terms so your child learns as they go.
How does the CO2 sensor know when to change the LED colour?
The code uses thresholds: below 800 ppm lights green, 800–1200 ppm lights yellow, and above 1200 ppm lights red. These values are easy to adjust in the sketch.
Can I leave this dashboard running all day?
Yes, it draws very little current and can run for hours on a 9V battery or indefinitely via the Arduino’s USB port. It’s designed for continuous monitoring.
