# Ccs811

Driver for CCS811 Ultra-Low Power Digital Gas Sensor for Monitoring Indoor Air Quality
[Datasheet](https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/learn_tutorials/1/4/3/CCS811_Datasheet-DS000459.pdf)
## Installation
The package can be installed by adding `ccs811` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:ccs811, "~> 0.4.0"}
]
end
```
## Usage
### Standalone
```elixir
iex(1)> Ccs811.initialize
iex(2)> Ccs811.read_alg_result_data
%{
eco2: 1529,
error_id: %{
heater_fault: false,
heater_supply: false,
max_resistance: false,
measmode_invalid: false,
red_reg_invalid: false,
write_reg_invalid: false
},
status: %{app_valid: true, data_ready: true, error: false, fw_mode: true},
tvoc: 191
}
iex(23)> Ccs811.read_status
%{app_valid: true, data_ready: true, error: false, fw_mode: true}
```
### With Telemetry
Add to your application initialization
```elixir
Ccs811.start_polling()
```
Which will set the driver to periodically execute a telemetry event named `[:ccs811, :read]`
with a new data map containing values for eCO2 `:eco2` and TVOC `:tvoc`.
## Initialization
both [`Ccs811.start_polling()`](https://hexdocs.pm/ccs811/Ccs811.html#initialize/1) and [`Ccs811.initialize()`](https://hexdocs.pm/ccs811/Ccs811.html#initialize/1) supports additional configuration parameters that can be passed as a keyword list.
### Missing features
- Interrupt based data reading instead of polling
- Configuration for Bus-name (currently it uses the first available I2C bus)
