Probably one per room because all the examples at https://github.com/francescopace/espectre/blob/main/CALIBRAT... are about a single room.

Is the author reads this, how does the system cope with multiple rooms in the same house, maybe a two or three storeys house?

    Yes, you’re both correct:

    You need one sensor for each area you want to monitor independently. With devices more capable than the ESP32‑S3, the coverage would likely be greater.

    The ESP32‑C6, in particular, offers significantly better performance. Check out this comparison video from Espressif: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjdpzM6zVJ8

      How about if I want to monitor the apartment as a whole? Would 100m2 be too much for one sensor to handle?

        It really depends on the environment: wall materials, interference, signal strength, and even temperature and humidity all play a role. Honestly, 100 m² is probably too large for a single sensor to cover reliably.

        That said, ESP32 boards are very inexpensive, you can find them online for around €1 or even less.
