Show HN: A subtly obvious e-paper room air monitor

nomarv Tuesday, November 18, 2025

In the cold season we tend to keep the windows closed. The air gets "stale": humidity often rises above 60 %, which can harm our wellbeing and promote mould. At the same time the CO₂ level in the air increases, which impacts our ability to concentrate.

So I built a room air monitor that stays unobtrusive as long as everything is in the green zone, but becomes deliberately noticeable once thresholds are exceeded. For my personal love of statistics I also visualise the measurements in a clear dashboard.

Summary
This article introduces an e-paper room air monitor project, which aims to develop a low-cost, energy-efficient device that can monitor and display indoor air quality parameters such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels.
