I was looking forward to trying the new #Bosch PM2.5 sensor (BVM080); it sounded like a real advance over previous sensors. I got it set up today and I'm really not pleased:
- Closed source with a restrictive license makes it a black box that's hard to work with (I knew this in advance)
- Seemed to work for a bit, now just gives all zero readings
- Comes to life randomly to give overly high readings
- Complains if anything is within 20cm of the sensor, yet the sensing area is supposed to be 5mm
