Particulate matter sensors measure the amount of very small particles in the air. A short introduction how these sensors work can be found on [Open Home Automation](https://www.open-homeautomation.com/2016/07/19/measuring-air-quality/).

Cheap LED based sensors usually use a GPIO interface that is hard to attach to computers. However, there are a lot of laser LED based sensors on the market that use a serial interface and can be [connected to your Home Assistant system easily with an USB to serial converter](https://www.open-homeautomation.com/2016/07/20/connecting-an-particulate-matter-sensor-to-your-pc-or-mac/).

At this time, the following sensors are supported:
|
|
|
|
* oneair,s3
|
|
* novafitness,sds021
|
|
* novafitness,sds011
|
|
* plantower,pms1003
|
|
* plantower,pms5003
|
|
* plantower,pms7003
|
|

To use your PM sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
sensor:
|
|
- platform: serial_pm
|
|
serial_device: /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
|
|
name: Nova
|
|
brand: novafitness,sds011
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **serial_device** (*Required*): The serial port to use. On *nix systems, it can often be identified by `$ ls /dev/tty*`
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): The name displayed in the frontend.
|
|
- **brand** (*Required*): Manufacturer and type of the sensor.
