Any recommendation for air quality measuring?

Hello everybody!
Can you guys recommend me any air quality measuring devices compatible with HP 2023, I need to monitor VOC and CO, thanks!

Do you want hese in one device?
Because most are (T)VOC òr CO.
I haven’t found a combined one.

Or do you mean CO2? Because you probably want to place a (T)VOC sensor in another place than a CO sensor.

If two separate devices will do; search for VOC or CO in the Homey Appstore and you will find multiple.

Thanks for reply, yes, in 1 device, sorry, I need CO2 sensor and TVOC in one place, I know there is many out there, just wanted to know what are other people’s experience with them, using Homey

Netatmo Home Coach, works very well :grinning:

Thanks, I already bought Qingping Air Quality Monitor and very happy with it, I’m sure Netatmo is great device, but I want to monitor PM 2.5 and tVOC too, the only problem I had is that I can’t get the readings from my Quingping device on my HP 2023, but I guess its fixable and matter of time.

I can definitely not recommend Netatmo. Their devices are very unstable. they loose radio contact now and then and in a homey flow where they eg. control windows its pretty catastrophic.

Never had a problem with them, I have 4 in my home all stable.

Which IKEA app do you use for connectie with Homey ?
Do you require the IKEA gateway for this?

I can also recommend NOT using Airthings devices. They refuse to connect to Ubiquiti network equipment. The CO2 measurements are self calibrating which means they are wildly wrong unless you actually put them outside for half a day per week. (In winter when I close my windows they are usually 200 ppm higher than my manually calibrated sensors which are usually within 50 ppm of each other.) And I failed to reset their connections recently so now they’re pretty much bricks. A huge waste of money.

I have the Air Gradient devices that integrate with Homey. Very pleased with them.

Thanks for replies.
I’ve got few Quingping devices, everything works great, sensors very accurate, I love those, the only hassle is to setup MQTT and connect them to Homey, but once done, you can forget about it, all works great.

Hello!
Qingping air monitor products are quite easy to integrate with Homey and are very reliable.
I have two Air monitor 2 that I have perfectly integrated on my HP3.
I contributed to improving the implementation
