## Overview

The DEVMO PMS5003 is a high-precision digital laser sensor designed to measure particulate matter concentrations (PM2.5 and PM10) in the air. Operating on a 5V DC supply with a maximum current of 120mA, it outputs digital data compatible with Arduino platforms, enabling real-time air quality monitoring. Its measurement range covers particles from 0.3 to 10 microns, making it ideal for indoor environmental sensing and DIY air quality projects.

## Description

Circuit Attentions1) DC 5V power supply is needed because the FAN should be driven by 5V. But the high level of data pin is 3.3V. Level conversion unit should be used if the power of host MCU is 5V.2) The SET and RESET pins are pulled up inside so they should not be connected if without usage.3) PIN7 and PIN8 should not be connected.4) Stable data should be got at least 30 seconds after the sensor wakeup from the sleep mode because of the fan’s performance.Installation Attentions1) Metal shell is connected to the GND so be careful not to let it shorted with the other parts of circuit except GND.2) The best way of install is making the plane of inset and outset closely to the plane of the host. Or some shield should be placed between inset and outset in order to prevent the air flow from inner loop.3) The blowhole in the shell of the host should not be smaller than the inset.4) The sensor should not be installed in the air flow way of the air cleaner or should be shielded by some structure.5) The sensor should be installed at least 20cm higher than the grand in order to prevent it from blocking by the floc dust.6) Do not break up the sensor.7) M2 self-tapping strew should be used to fix the sensor but it should not be deeper than 5mm into the sensor.Other Attentions1) Only the consistency of all the PM sensors of PLANTOWER is promised and ensured. And the sensor should not be checked with any third party equipment.2) The sensor is usually used in the common indoor environment. So some protection must be added if using in the conditions as followed: a) The time of concentration ≥300μg/m³ is longer than 50% of the whole year or concentration≥500μg/m³ is longer than20% of the whole year. b) Kitchen c) Water mist condition such as bathroom or hot spring. d) outdoor

Review: I’ve been experimenting with a variety of air quality measurements/sensors for some time, this has been my first foray into Particulate Matter. •Build quality The unit is a solid block. Made of formed sheet ali with minimal cutouts for the connector, exhaust and the fan. I kinda like the fact they left the protective blue film on, it’s no worse than a powder coat and can easily be removed if you prefer silver :) It’s not especially light nor heavily, and nothing seems to move or rattle inside. There is no quick facility for cleaning the unit, and with no pre-filter before the fan it is quite conceivable that it will eventually become clogged with larger clumps of dust. It could be argued that this unit is a consumable part, however the datasheet recommends additional protection in certain circumstances. There only provisions made for mounting the unit are four holes for M2 self-tapping screws. •Interface The connector is slightly recessed into the box. It is a type unlikely to be available in a hobbyists collection, but a terminated (on both ends) length of alternating red/black ribbon cable is supplied, giving you one long or two short adapters to Mini-PV or another popular connector type. (Just beware, depending on the end you use, Vcc may be black and GND may be red. Mark your connectors.) Power is 5V and GND. Did not test for reverse-protection. Communication is over 3V3 UART by Tx only or bidirectional, baud 9600. •Operation For continuous operation you only need the sensor Tx wire to get data out. To preserve the longevity of the laser diode ESPHome recommends connecting sensor Rx too to put the sensor into sleep mode between measurements. •Integration with ESPHome Once UART (with optional mcu Tx) is setup, just use the PMSX003 platform. This exposes PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 sensors to Home Assistant. If you’ve got sensor Rx connected to mcu Tx and setup under UART, then you can add an update_interval under the sensor platform config. This will switch off the laser diode and fan in between taking readings, thereby extending their lifetime. •Quality of the data Indoors with no particular activities occurring, readings are pegged at zero. Maybe this is true and I live in an ultra clean house, I don’t understand PM measures and levels enough to comment other than to say it’s mostly reading zero. Activities such as cooking, incense-burning, aerosols and to some extent using steaming hot water, cause a definite spike in readings, with a sharp rise and an exponential-like decay back to zero. Readings in the 10s of µg/m^3 are common for such activities, with readings in the 100s being particularly noticeable to human senses. Given the resolution of this sensor is only 1 µg/m^3, and normal levels are so low, you don’t get a whole lot of resolution. Maybe this could be good next to a busy road/in a workshop/other polluted area (will try this and update review with my findings), but I feel it’s largely unnecessary at home. •Comparing data to TVOCs and eCO2 For testing I have this sensor running next to an ENS160, and there are definite correlations between the data in most circumstances, but they’re obviously not interchangeable. TVOCs and eCO2 values are never at zero and often read relatively highly even though there are no Particulate Matter detected. •Conclusion Not knowing enough about Air Quality and Particulate Measurements I really can’t say if this is a good sensor. But as a hobbyist, if you’re interested in seeing this data, this is a good value and easy to use option.
Review: I had one of my Purple Air PA-II sensors go bad -- I couldn't really decide which one it was, just that the two sensors in it had diverged from one another. Cleaning the sensors didn't help, so I decided to replace both. I liked that these sensors came as a pair, as I hoped that they were very close to each other in time of manufacture, and would work very similarly to each other. Looking at serial numbers, the devices delivered to me were made on the same day (2022/04/09), and were 270 units apart in production order. I disassembled my PA-II (which was an older unit not designed for user replacement) with no difficulty, removed the old sensors, and installed the two new ones. After reassembly, the PA-II powered up with no issues. I did notice at first that the new sensors were reading farther apart than I expected, but over the course of the next few days, the difference closed. Now, they read right on top of one another, just differing in random noise. My statistics are showing an average of 0.3 ug/dl difference between the two sensors over time. I certainly have no scientific way to calibrate them, but both devices are reading in-line with other AQ sensors in my area.

*by S***. on 27 December 2025*

Nice unit and has been working solidly. Reacts quickly and accurately to environment changes. I'd love to give it 5 stars except for a manufacturer issue. This choice is made by Plantower not DevMo, all the pms5003 appear to have the annoyance which is... The connector is small (ph or gh?) and recessed, requiring one to push the connector in with a fingernail or tool. The wires are very light gauge. All together it's terribly easy to damage this wiring harness. There is no retaining clip on connector which is a bad choice for anything with moving parts. While the unit's vibration is virtually undetectable, that connector is still bound to work loose. It fell out often during prototyping. And, while most of us are used to ignoring color code, the wiring harness is alternating black/red ribbon and the connectors pin orientation was difficult to determine. Out of the box VIN is a black wire and GND is a red wire which cast a lot of doubt during the initial hookup. A better connector, some respect for wire colors would be really nice. There is a very inexpensive breakout board for these that will save you some headache (I still hate the tiny recessed unretained connector). I'm very happy with the unit except for the connector and wiring.
