@rastinza It's just a consumer grade sensor I guess? After I hook up the UART port to get the raw readings, let's see how accurate they are

@lupyuen Does this make any sense?
I looked at similar sensors, and just the sensor is way more expensive than the full ikea thing.
Since it's so cheap I guess reliability is extremely low and probably useless.

Ok, Static Light Scattering is cheap, but you still need a laser and some computing power.
Moreover I guess it should be calibrated, as I doubt the instrument can retain calibration after manufacturing and shipping.

@amerika Thanks I just trimmed them even shorter, might increase the sensitivity on my fingertips 🤔

@vattuvarg They do, but requires a manual user interface. Lick your index finger, hold it up in the air and feel which side gets colder/dryer. Classic Do-It-Yourself IKEA ;-)

@totoroot @lupyuen

@lupyuen - The swedish name "vindriktning" translates to "wind direction". Do they actually have a wind direction sensor too?
