I got PM 2.5 sensor from Xiaomi for $24.99. I am not sure if it works correctly. It shows 002-003 all the time. https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eu7cPbR

Amazon makes one but to view data, it's app based and that's a dealbreaker for me: https://www.theverge.com/22971411/amazon-smart-air-quality-m...
Yeah, I bought one and am pretty disappointed by it. Not only does the Amazon app suck for looking at the data, but it has CO instead of CO2 for some idiotic reason. At least it convinced me to finally figure out how to get my AirGradient working with Home Assistant.

If you look up a product in the AliExpress app and copy the link, this is what you get. It does not give you any commission unfortunately. So it's not an affiliate link.
I wouldn't suggest it if is like all the crap I have around me. They're wood and metal not electronics and software.
What would your point of comparison be ? I have a bias in that I went for the whole IKEA home automation, and it sure has rough edges, but I also was under the impression the other brands were in a similar situation (perhaps Phillips HUE system has a better reputation at this point ? provided their range of devices is more limited)

That's pretty normal in a home. The sensor of my Xiaomi air purifier always shows similar levels. But one time there was a slight smell of burning outside (a little bin fire 100m away) and it immediately went to 200+ despite there not being visible smoke. Also, my await lite tracks the graph of the Xiaomi pretty well. I guess most fine dust comes from outside. Unless you're frying or 3D printing which elevates levels…
Too bad it doesn’t monitor CO2 as well, but I guess the cost would be pretty different ? Having a screen is still an improvement over their current monitor [0], and the out of the box hub support is sure a plus. PS: to note, IKEA also has a new air purifier[1], but won’t benefit from any auto control apparently. Feels like a missed opportunity.

This looks great. It looks like the existing VINDRIKTNING sensor, but with more sensors and compatible with their existing smarthome hub (which implies Zigbee connectivity, I think). The only question is whether the fan will be as obnoxious as the one in the VINDRIKTNING. It’s audible and constantly spins up and down, so it’s extremely distracting. I often just unplug it for that reason, which is unfortunate.
It's a bit annoying that this doesn't work with the tradfri hub by the way, only the much more expensive dirigera one. Both are zigbee so they both have the technical capability.

So it should talk Zigbee to a Conbee 2 (or other Zigbee hub) and be able to hook into a Matter network ? ... he asked hopefully.
This is in fact what Matter/Thread is supposed to solve with more standardisation.
Check this excellent site for an overview of which device is compatible with this stack (and see what a mess it is!!)

I don't think their macro sized wood and metal is very good so I doubt their microelectronics and software will be any different.
Would you shun Microsoft keyboards because of the direction they took for Windows 11 ? Do you stay away from iPhones because mac Pros are really not a good deal ? Or trust Sony to make good computers because their headphones are really top notch ?
The product looks nice, but the most important question will be whether it works with Home Assistant. I'll pass if it's locked down.
