Is the sgp41 tvoc/nox compatible with the outdoor kit

I bought the original outdoor kit a while back and want to add the sgp41 board that its for sale to it. Are they compatible?

Looking at the picture and the KiCad file for the board, both versions look to have an I2C port on the board, but it wouldn’t have a header already soldered. But if you wanted to solder on headers and then add the chip from the store and update the software, it should be possible.

The latest version of the Outdoor monitor comes with one already installed, but also comes with 1 PM2.5 sensor and one CO2 sensor, compared to what you probably have which likely has 2 PM2.5 sensors. So all of the code would be there, but would need a bit of manipulating to combine into exactly what you have.

I also have some ESPHome example files that could be modified to accomplish the same thing.

We needed to make the TVOC module smaller to make it fit into the compartment of the outdoor enclosure.
The new TVOC modules that we sell in our shop do fit now both, the indoor and the outdoor model.

What sort of header is required on the Open Air board for the module to fit? It would appear to require a right-handle socket header, unlike the One board which has vertical socket headers.
