Troubleshoot A Hotkrem Monitor Per Viewer Request Part 2 of 2

Күн бұрын

After uploading the first video for Travis about his defective Hotkrem Monitor, I thought of another idea of what may be going on that would be a common issue with all the Hotkrem monitors, so I decided to create a part 2 to explain and show what the problem may actually be with these sensors. I hope you find the information useful in understanding how a PM sensor works, and why your monitor may not be working/registering correctly.
If you like this type of video, please let me know in the comments about a subject you would like to discuss and I will do my best to create a video on that subject, or if you have a video idea for a DIY project, A review of a product or anything else, I will be happy to create that content as well.
Thanks for stopping by, and remember - find someone who needs to laugh, needs to smile, needs to cry, or just simply needs a friend - and make it happen ;).

Great job again Steven, I thoroughly enjoyed both videos. Given the quality control issues with the sensor, no more HotKrem for me. I will wait for you to review the upgraded AirKnight when it's available. And if it passes your testing, I will buy that in the future. All the best...

Thank you for your comments Travis - they are truly appreciated. I am not sure what is going on with the AirKnight, as Jim hasn't responded yet, nor have I been given any updates about how the new AirKnight is coming along in development. I am still hopeful that Jim will be sending one to me for review and testing, but I guess I will just have to be patient and wait and see... 👍👍👍

Very interesting. The PMS5003 is also available on ebay and Aliexpress for some 10-15 euro/dollar. But there is also a version "PMS5003ST" which is almost identical, but has AFAIK a higher "maximum mass concentration of particulate matter" (2000ug/m3 instead of the normal 1000). Dimension, power, pin count etc are the same. No idea if that one would work, but it has a promise of having a better (other) batch of sensors. Cause these one seem to be dumped on the chinese market.

You can buy another sensor it’s modular PSM5003

Thank you Max for the information. I mention in the video that you can buy a replacement sensor which is module PMS5003, but which also has the same issue as the sensors that come in the Hotkrem.
