Too bad it doesn’t monitor CO2 as well, but I guess the cost would be pretty different ?<p>Having a screen is still an improvement over their current monitor [0], and the out of the box hub support is sure a plus.<p>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.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/vindriktning-air-quality-sensor-60515911/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/vindriktning-air-quality-sensor...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/uppatvind-air-purifier-60498228/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/uppatvind-air-purifier-60498228...</a>
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).<p>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.
I'm glad a known brand is taking this line of product.<p>I am unsure about IKEA quality. I'd like to see someone like Apple (or Google or even MS take this up)<p>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?
What’s the sensor IC? This is just a nice paperweight with a screen if it’s like all to other indoor air quality sensors which are way off and improperly calibrated.
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.<p><a href="https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eu7cPbR" rel="nofollow">https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eu7cPbR</a>
