Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Pro. Since I have it running in my sleeping room, I don't have a clogged nose at night anymore.

This model was among the best air purifiers in a Stiftung Warentest comparison.

I was hesitant to get it because of Xiaomi and internet connectivity, but I've set up my cable router to block all outgoing traffic from the device.

It also integrates nicely with Home Assistant, so I have Realtime and historical particle and temperature data for my smart phone.

Is there a router you use that makes this easy and isn’t just as compromised as the air filter?
Doesn’t your phone send out anyway the data that the air purifier couldn’t?
OP used home assistant [0], which is a FOSS you run on your own server directly talking to the purifier over LAN.
