Re: [mh] carbon monoxide detector

[Joel D. <jr...@io...>]

The modules provide a contact closure in an alarm state, so something
like a Weeder DIO module could be used.

For a CO ppm, you might be better off with one of the plug-in CO
monitors that has a ppm display.  You'd have to hack it a bit to
get the ppm value from the display driver, but that's probably
fairly straightforward.
