If the device worked with ZigBee, I would get it immediately. However, it seems to support only WiFi, which means if someone gains physical access to the AirQuality monitor (which isn't exactly difficult since it is placed outside), they can potentially extract the WiFi password and gain full access to my network.

Yes that's a good point.

It probably makes sense to put it on a separate WiFi network (or a guest network) if access to the monitor is possible for unauthorized persons.

Definitely recommend a separate 2.4ghz N-mode only wifi with separate passphrase and client isolation on a different vlan with routing only out to the internet for all IoT stuff.

I'm curious, why N-mode only? What is the issue with a/b/g?

A huge problem with ZigBee is that it's not OpenSource-friendly. The tools are proprietary and devkits are pretty pricey.

I keep my sensors on a separate network. There's very little they can do.
