I'm glad a known brand is taking this line of product.

I am unsure about IKEA quality. I'd like to see someone like Apple (or Google or even MS take this up)

I question IKEA because they are all over the place quality-wise. Some things are built with quality in mind, whereas others are semi-disposable and I cannot tell what this will be. Will it require and enable periodic recalibration?

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.

measuring CO2 is more expensive than CO, a decent sensor alone would cost more than $20

I have their previous air monitoring device (just displays a range of color from red -> orange -> yellow -> green), and regularly compare it to the air quality display of a Sharp air purifier in the same room.

It's no scientific measurement, but both devices seem to be mostly reacting the same. There's some time lag between the two, and the air flow seems to impact a lot of what they'll detect (the air purifier is more stable in that respect as it's the one creating the airflow), but the IKEA sensor doesn't seem to be too bad in that respect. At least I haven't seen the SHARP one go berserk while the IKEA sensor stays green, if that's what you would be fearing.

So most air quality monitors need to be "cleaned" and recalibrated by cycling them in a clean air enviro for a few mins, especially if they have been exposed to high levels of pollutants otherwise they may be "off" in their measurements.

Anyhow, it's worth giving them a try it seems.
