SPS30 continuously operating #880

Open ffierens opened 3 years ago

ffierens commented 3 years ago

the SDS011 sensor operates (default) only a short time every 150 seconds. This is to increase the lifespan of the sensor. I recently installed a SPS30 sensor using a NodeMCU ESP8266. The SPS30 seems to operate continuously. Is there a reason for that? Is it not possible to use the same stop/start protocol as for the SDS011?

I noticed the same but did not worry after reading this:

Lifetime > 10 years operating continuously 24h/day
