- Page 4 400 to 1000 green 1000 to 1500 orange > 1500 red The MS-05 can connect to a WiFi network, although this is not a requirement. When connected, the measured values can be accessed through the integrated web server. Additionally, various parameters can be configured, and firmware updates can be executed.
- Page 5 Commissioning The sensor operates using a 5-volt adapter. Once the power is connected, the sensor will commence operation. If you prefer not to connect the sensor to a WiFi network, no further action is required. The CO2 status LED will activate after a few seconds, illuminating green, orange, or red based on the CO2 level.
- Page 6 PC (refer to fig. 1). It may take some time (10-30 seconds) for the MoreSense-MS05 network to appear on your device. Please note that some devices have the tendency to switch back to a WiFi network with an internet connection (The MS-05 cannot connect to the internet in access-point mode).
- Page 7 If your router has the same WiFi network name (SSID) for both 2.4 and 5 GHz, the sensor may fail to connect. The MS-05 only works on 2.4 GHz. In this case, temporarily disable the 5 GHz option on your router. Once the sensor is connected, you can re-enable the 5 GHz option on your router.
- Page 8 Once connected to the MoreSense MS-05 WiFi access point, you may have the option to log in directly to the MoreSense sensor (refer to image 2). However, this is not always guaranteed. If the direct login option is available, you will be redirected to the WiFimanager page.
- Page 9 The MoreSense sensor features mDNS functionality. Your router converts IP addresses into a web address, so knowing the IP address is not strictly necessary. The MoreSense web address is composed of the characters "http://ms-", followed by the last four characters of the WiFi MAC address (for instance, "F6BC"), and concludes with the extension...
- Page 10 By entering the web address in the browser's address bar, you will be directed to the home page of the MoreSense web server (see fig. 5). Ensure that your PC, laptop, smartphone, or tablet is connected to the same network as the MoreSense sensor.
- Page 11 Chapter 3 Measured values The Moresense MS-05 features a Sensirion SCD40 self-calibrating CO2 sensor, developed in Switzerland. Sensirion is renowned for its precise and dependable sensors, which also boast an extended service life. The measured CO2 concentration is represented in "Parts Per Million" (PPM). The SCD40 can measure levels up to 2000 ppm and is expected to last over 10 years.
- Page 12 MQTT messages. The date and time are sourced from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server (pool.ntp.org). The internal clock of the MoreSense sensor is compared to that of the NTP server every hour and synchronized as needed. The time is automatically adjusted for daylight saving time, ensuring consistency throughout the year.
- Page 13 WiFi signal strength. This page refreshes automatically every 30 seconds. As the sensor is read every 5 seconds, the displayed values may vary slightly from those transmitted to your home automation system. Image 8. Homepage of the MoreSense web server Page 12...
- Page 14 Setup page On this page (see Fig. 9), various sensor settings can be adjusted. All available options are detailed in the subsequent pages. After making changes, ensure to save them by clicking the "Save & Reboot" button. The modifications will only take effect once the sensor has been restarted. Image 9.
- Page 15 Time zone Here you can select your timezone. The internal clock will automatically adjust to daylight saving time and standard time. Date format In this drop-down menu, you can select the date format. Temperature scale Select either °Celsius or °Fahrenheit. MQTT configurations Connect to MQTT server By "sliding"...
- Page 16 MQTT Client This is the designation by which the sensor is recognized by the MQTT server. It is not the username required for login and serves to differentiate among the various MQTT clients. MQTT Username / Password These are the username and password required for logging into the server. Their specification is not always necessary, as it depends on the settings of the MQTT server.
- Page 17 Evaluating the MQTT client If you do not have an MQTT server installed, you may utilize a test server available on the internet. Numerous options exist, including test.mosquitto.org. However, exercise caution: all data transmitted is, in principle, public. A valuable tool for monitoring MQTT messages is the complimentary application MQTT Explorer (https://mqtt-explorer.com/).
- Page 18 Integrating Home Automation Systems Pairing with Home Assistant and/or Domoticz necessitates the utilization of an MQTT server. Typically, the server software can be installed on the same system as the home automation platform. Both Home Assistant and Domoticz operate using the "Auto discovery" method. The sensor transmits the sensor data (excluding the measurements) to the autodiscovery path/topic, which is accessed by the home automation controller.

- Page 20 Establish a connection to Home Assistant using MQTT. To connect to Home Assistant via MQTT, the sensor must be linked to an MQTT server (this can also be accomplished through REST without an MQTT server, as detailed later in this manual). Slide the button labeled "Connect to Home Assistant / Domoticz"...

- Page 22 Smart plug control The MoreSense MS-05 possesses the capability to regulate Smart Plugs according to CO2 levels. These devices are inserted into wall sockets, allowing for the connection of various plugs. The smart plugs must support control via WiFi using HTTP GET commands. For instance, it is feasible to manage an extraction system that activates solely when CO2 levels exceed acceptable thresholds.
- Page 23 Sensor page On this page, you can adjust various settings of the sensor. Always ensure to save the changes by clicking the "Save & Reboot" button. The modifications, with the exception of forced calibration, will only take effect upon rebooting the sensor. Automatic self-calibration The Sensirion SCD40 features automatic calibration, which is enabled by default.
- Page 24 CO2 forced calibration value The sensor can also be calibrated based on a reference value, for example, from another sensor known to have (relatively) reliable values. Enter the value and click "Calibrate" to do this. Keep in mind that the sensor needs to be in a stable environment for some time.
- Page 25 On this page, you can perform a firmware update. Firmware updates for the MoreSense sensors are regularly released with bug fixes and additional functionality. If you are subscribed to the MoreSense newsletter, you will be notified of new updates. You can also check moresense-nl.com and download updates from there.
