 Eco_Guard | ESP32 Environmental & Air Quality Monitor Station

Eco_Guard is a compact, portable, battery-powered environmental monitoring station designed for real-time indoor air quality, temperature, humidity, and gas detection. Powered by an ESP32 Dev Board, this station features a 16x2 LCD display, a DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor, dual gas sensors (MQ series / Flying-Fish), a power rocker switch, an 18650 rechargeable battery, a step-up boost converter, and USB-C charging.

Whether you are tracking home air quality, building a weather station, or logging environmental telemetry via Wi-Fi to a web dashboard or Home Assistant, Eco_Guard offers a clean, modular enclosure for your sensor suite!


⚡ Technical Features

  • Multi-Sensor Environmental Telemetry: Front-facing cutouts for a DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor and dual MQ-series gas sensors for real-time air quality monitoring.

  • Clear LCD Readout: Cutout fitted for a 16x2 character LCD screen (I2C) to display live metrics locally.

  • Wireless Data Logging: Powered by an ESP32 Microcontroller, allowing live Wi-Fi/Bluetooth telemetry, MQTT broker logging, or local web hosting.

  • Rechargeable Battery System: Features an internal 18650 Li-ion battery, a TP4056 USB-C charging module, and a DC-DC step-up boost converter module for stable system power.

  • Durable Mechanical Design: M3 heat-set inserts and socket head cap screws ensure repeated opening for battery swaps or sensor recalibration.

🖨 Assembly & Print Tips

  • Print Settings: Print in PLA or PETG using 3 walls/perimeters for clean screw retention.

  • Infill: 15% – 20% (Gyroid recommended for uniform strength).

  • Supports: Minimal supports needed for the USB-C cutout and side rocker switch port.

  • Sensor Clearance: Sensor openings are dimensioned to snugly friction-fit the DHT11 and standard MQ breakout boards cleanly through the top lid.

  • Heat-Set Inserts: Melt four M3 brass heat-set inserts into the corner posts of the base box using a soldering iron (~220°C).

📁 Included Files

  1. Eco_Guard_Base.stl – Lower box housing with battery tray, MCU mount, boost module, and charger slot.

  2. Eco_Guard_TopLid.stl – Faceplate with cutouts for the 16x2 LCD, DHT sensor, and gas sensor probes.

  3. Eco_Guard_Assembly.f3d – Editable Autodesk Fusion 360 source file.

💡 Source Files & Customization

The full Autodesk Fusion 360 (.f3d) CAD file is included so you can adjust sensor cutouts (e.g., swapping for BME280 or MQ-7), resize mounting posts, or change cable routing!
