These are all of my current environmental monitoring stations and my Geiger counters that are submitting readings to online services such as radmon.org, the ESPGeiger network, GMC map, my webserver and Home Assistant, except for the radon monitor, that records only to my webserver and Home Assistant. All use ESPGeiger except for the Radspod One (OG) station (my first) which uses RadLog Pro from radmon.org, and I keep it simply because I am a die hard Radmon fan. It receives the CPM using the UDP TX/RX protocol in ESPGeiger firmware.

Radspod One
The very first Geiger counter I connected to the internet back in 2016. It ran for years then finally crapped out in late 2024. It was serviced and ESPGeiger was fitted. It has been golden since. Read about it here and here.
This lives outside at the end of my garden fixed to my workshop.
|
Radspod Two
A GK Radmon kit I purchased and built some years back. I rolled my own firmware and it sat like that for years. Then I modified it to run ESPGeiger. Read about it here.
This lives on a shelf, near the window in my lab.
|
Radspod Three
A nice and unexpected counter. Cheap with a nice electronic design and features. This one sports an ESP-12F module (ESP8266) hanging off the back of the MCU PCB and runs ESPGeiger. Read about it here.
This lives on my desk, at my office in Lytham Saint Annes.
|
ESPGeiger HW 003
One of the first prototype versions of the ESPGeiger HW, given to me by Steadramon to evaluate and offer feedback. It's a nice counter especially with the recent ESPGeiger firmware updates. Read about it here.
This lives over in the corner of my lab, near my collection of sources and specimens.
|
ESPGeiger HW 004
To do. Another ESPGeiger HW, the 004 version. Some updates to the PCB, but apparently not ready for production, yet. The ESPGeiger Log below is mirroring the readings from the counter using UDP. Read about it here.
This lives currently on my desk as I have been using it to test the firmware.
|
Radspod One (OG)
The same Radspod One counter from above, but reporting to a separate system. This also pulls some data from radmon.org when the page is loaded. This isn't always reliable, so you may need to refresh once or twice. This uses Radlog Pro with readings received from a Wemos D1 Mini, running ESPGeiger UDP RX.
|
Yaorea YRG01
This is the first Yaorea YRG01 I bought. I liked it so much I bought more. This is also the first YRG01 I modified to run ESPGeiger firmware. Read about it here.
This lives on my drawers in my bedroom.
|
Splendid Counter
Why do I call this the splendid counter? Because it is just that, splendid. It is basically a DIYGeiger GK 5.5 or thereabouts. Based on that circuit. I use it for testing and also learned a lot about the HV PSU and detection principles. It's a good circuit but should probably now be updated for PWM from an MCU instead of the old triple-nickel timer ic. This is also connected with ESPGeiger
This lives on my desk in my lab.

AEG Test Hound 3699 Radon detector
After having to assess the radon levels at a certain site I got interested in radon. I purchased this device and found it was easily hackable. I hung a Wemos D1 Mini off the back, rolled some code and now have a cheap radon detector reporting to my back end (🤣 no pun intended!) Read about it here.
This lives next to the Yaorea YRG01 in my bedroom, but I do move to other sites occasionally as I don't suffer with much radon here at home.
