ENS160 Air Quality Sensor Breakout

The 7Semi ENS160 Air Quality Sensor Breakout integrates ScioSense's ENS160 sensor to provide precise indoor air quality monitoring. It detects volatile organic compounds (VOCs), equivalent CO₂ (eCO₂), total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), and air quality index (AQI). Operating at 3.3V with I²C and SPI interfaces, it features a compact design for easy integration, making it ideal for applications like air purifiers and environmental monitoring.
