I operate a rooftop solar power station. While I have scripted all the individual components like battery management, Inverters and the various sinks (for where the power goes when it’s not needed immediately) using Grafana to get alerts, I use automation to activate the various scenes and settings to maximise the useful power I get from the system.
have a look at Shelley smart devices. They have a wifi button that’s fully compatible with Home Assistant. Not the cheapest in the world but the quality is excellent. No Zigbee needed.
you might have to install OSMC in a proxmox virtual machine if you can’t do a bare metal install.
i’ve got one and hacked it with an ESP32. it’s awesome, but it’s not a CO2 sensor, it detects fine particles in the air.
do you have a gas meter? surely it would be simpler to capture the operation of the meter either electronically if it’s a smart meter or optically if it has a moving part or dial?
Even if your heating is gas it should be possible to disaggregate that usage by measuring the consumption over a minute or so.
