Good value
Needs some calibration time but works as expected for the price.

Okay sensor
Documentation was a bit confusing for beginners. Sensor works though.
5 FAQ
Q: How long does calibration take?
A: Typically 24-48 hours for full stabilization, but basic use works sooner.
Q: Where can I find the pinout diagram?
A: The pinout is included in the datasheet available on the product page.
Q: Can this detect methane gas?
A: No, this is tuned for Hydrogen. Please use the MQ-4 model for methane.
Q: Is this module waterproof?
A: No, it should be housed in a weatherproof enclosure for outdoor use.
Q: Is this compatible with 3.3V logic systems?
A: Yes, but we recommend using a level shifter for optimal performance.
