I had to read the headline three times before it made sense.
... It wasn't worth it.

I hope it emits a loud buzz or beep with every emission. Or maybe an automatic "excuse me"
My first thought
I'm dreading buying new appliances due to internet connectivity. My clothes don't need microchips.
Sounds interesting and entirely unaffordable.
Sensors that track gasses are incredibly cheap. I can build a VOC, CO2, PM2-10, CO, Smoke, etc for about $50 from parts on AliExpress. A sensor that tracks just hydrogen should be way less.
Edit: ~~methane~~ Hydrogen
You have any guides about doing that? My landlord says I have enough ventilation flow, but the only way I can get a good night's sleep is by having my windows open, even when it's -10 outside.
It might be cheap to build yourself then but cheap parts have rarely deterred a capitalist.
Is this accurate enough? I feel like we already have consumer devices that would not take much modification to get a much closer look.
