It was originally developed for the [Chaos Communication Camp 2023](https://events.ccc.de/camp/2023/infos/) where we ([@romses](https://chaos.social/@romses) and [@foosel](https://chaos.social/@foosel)) deployed a small army of 10 Datenzwerge across the camp grounds: Happy, Doc, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy, Nerdy, Kinky and Hefty[^1]. Since then, Doc has gotten a new home at the CERT and the official Datenzwerg family now consists of Bashful, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Hefty, Kinky, Moopsy, Nerdy, Sleepy and Sneezy.

The Datenzwerge also made a reappearance at the [37c3](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/infos/index.html), the [GPN22](https://entropia.de/GPN22) and the [MRMCD 2024](https://2024.mrmcd.net/de/). They are currently deployed at [38c3](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/infos/index.html).

The Datenzwerg consists of a 3D printed gnome body, a custom PCB with an ESP8266 D1 Mini microcontroller board, a BME280, SGP30, UV and sound sensor and an optional 18650 battery. It's powered by [ESPHome](https://esphome.io/) and sends its data to an [InfluxDB](https://www.influxdata.com/) instance. The firmware currently logs temperature, relative and absolute humidity, air pressure, dew point, UV index, eCO2, TVOC and sound pressure.

In our tests, a Datenzwerg without TVOC sensor seems to last between three to four days on a single charge of our 18650 LiPos that range from 1600mAh to 2800 mAh. This obviously depends on the cell capacity but also temperature and other environmental factors.
