A Smarter DIY Air Filter

An individual created a DIY air filter called AirSense, which uses an ESP32 microcontroller and various sensors to monitor air quality, including PM2.5 levels, temperature, humidity, and pressure. The device uses a 150 mm exhaust fan and a Xiaomi HEPA filter housed in a 3D-printed enclosure, providing real-time air quality data on an LCD display. The project offers a low-cost, customizable alternative to commercial air purifiers while encouraging innovation in home air quality management.
