7semi SGP41+SHT45 Environmental Sensor Probe for VOC, NOx, Temperature, and Humidity Monitoring
The 7Semi SGP41 + SHT45 Environmental Sensor Probe combines Sensirion's SGP41 gas sensor with the high-accuracy SHT45 temperature and humidity sensor for indoor air-quality and environmental monitoring. The SGP41 provides separate sensing channels responsive to Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and oxidising gases associated with NOx events, while the SHT45 supplies accurate temperature and relative-humidity measurements for environmental monitoring and gas-signal compensation.
The remote stainless-steel probe design allows the sensing elements to be positioned away from heat-generating controllers, displays, power electronics, and other components that could influence local temperature or humidity. Both sensors communicate digitally through I2C, with the SHT45 operating at address 0x44 and the SGP41 at 0x59. Sensirion's Gas Index Algorithm can process the SGP41 raw signals into independent VOC Index and NOx Index values from 1 to 500, making the probe suitable for air purifiers, HVAC systems, smart buildings, indoor air-quality monitors, and IoT environmental nodes.
