Does this work for SDS018? #4

I did not try it but the sleep and wakeup portion of this also works with the SDS018. I guess the other piece will just work as well. I'm not using this library but the example at https://github.com/crystaldust/sds018 and have re-used the sleep and wake code from your library in combination with it. Also rather using Hardware Serial1 instead of SoftSerial (had bad experience in the past).

The control protocol is the same for SDS011, SDS018 and SDS021. But I couldn't test it with with another sensor than the SDS011. We use the code in a project based on esp8266 so we needed to use the SoftSerial. But yes, you can also use the hardware serial.
