'Raspberry PI and co2 sensor (CCS811)
Hello dears Stack Overflow Community, I'm Firas and I'm doing an apprenticeship in System integration, and I have a project to build Co2 Sensor with raspberry Pi, so I was planning to connect it with azure so I can analyze the data there and maybe set a trigger alarm to notify me per Email or ms team channel when the co2 concentration in the room become high, but my problem is when I calculated the price in Azure, the estimated price was high (around 139 Euro per month). Does anyone here have experience in those type of projects and is there other way to implement the project "in cheaper way", I will be very thankful if someone can guide me and give me suggestions and solutions. Thank you very much in advance 🙂

Why don't you deploy an "alarming system" on RPI itself?
(If you don't want to use rpi, I highly recommend Scaleway Stardust as a solution. It's only about 2.5 EUR per month)

Consider using Azure IoT Central. It is free up to 2 devices: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/iot-central/
There is no E2E sample from a Raspberry Pi co2 sensor to Azure IoT Central that I know of. But you can start by using the Python Sample here and then add the libraries responsible to read the data from your Co2 Sensor.
