Easy Integration

The analog output makes it easy to read gas concentration levels. I integrated it with an ESP32 for a smart home alert system.

Sensitive but needs warmup

Detects gas quickly but needs about 24 hours initial burn-in for stable readings. Once calibrated, it is quite reliable for prototyping.

Good sensor, loud buzzer

The onboard buzzer is a bit loud when triggered, but the sensor accuracy is good. You can disable the buzzer if needed for quiet operation.

Bought five for a school project. All arrived working. Good documentation online makes integration straightforward for beginners.

5 FAQ

Q: What is the pinout?

A: The pins are labeled VCC, GND, Digital Out (DO), and Analog Out (AO). Please refer to the included datasheet for the detailed diagram.

Q: Can this run on 3.3V logic?

A: The sensor heating element requires 5V, but the digital output can be interfaced with 3.3V systems using a voltage divider or level shifter.

Q: Is this suitable for home safety alarms?

A: This module is designed for hobby and prototyping use. For critical life safety applications, please use certified industrial detectors.

Q: Does it detect carbon monoxide?

A: It has some sensitivity to Carbon Monoxide, but it is primarily designed and calibrated for LPG, Methane, and combustible gases.

Q: How long does calibration take?

A: We recommend a 24-hour initial burn-in period for best accuracy. After that, minor adjustments can be made via the potentiometer.
