I have a Vindriktning with the ESP8266 makeover sitting on the desk behind me, feeding its data into my Home Assistant instance. So far it's working great, except for one annoying detail: I'd much prefer the forced airflow fan to be on at all times, since the constant on-off cycling (around every ~10s) is quite audible and distracting in a quiet environment.

How do you know it is working great? Have you compared it against other known sensors?

"Working great" in the sense that the modification and integration was pretty painless. In terms of output quality, I've only done a few smoke tests (pun intended) - cooking, blowing smoke over the sensor - with decent results.

You can move the fan power to the 3.3v pin on the ESP8266, runs much quieter
