Hello there! 🫣

I got my Homey Pro today, im new on the forum and i am now looking for a couple of new devices for my home.  
Previously i’ve used google devices for entertainment, IKEA Trådfri for lights and shelly devices as switches and sensors.

- I want to monitor the air quality in 6 rooms. So i’ll be needing a device for that. Since i’ll need 6 of them the most important aspects are **price, reliability and looks.**  
What devices do you recommend?

- I want to monitor my energy consumption a little bit more and also be able to turn on and off dumb devices. i’ll be needing roughly 12 of theese. So im looking for a device for my poweroutlets mainly.  
The most important aspects here are also **price, reliability and looks**  
What devices do you recommend?

Thanks!

Price is high when you need more reliability so based on this and also as I use them myself on my Homey 2016 without any problems for 6 years now I advise.

Point 1 : Netatmo

Point 2 : Fibaro

Very reliable and advanced indoor air quality meter is Air-Q. It is pricy though.

I went with the Aquara Temprature and Humidity sensor. For a week they worked great and the prize is simply amazing. Thanks for the advices, will look in to theese when Aqara lets me down. 🙂

You can use Netatmo for Temp / Humidity and CO2 PPM that is enough for me I think the AirQ is also great but way to expensive for what I need to know.
