Hi There, I’ve been searching around for a device to monitor my workshop for dust in order to control venting. It’s easy to find a stand alone device like this one: > **[Ecoticfate Luftqualitätsmonitor CO2 Messgerät Raumluft Luftqualität Detektor, 8...](https://www.amazon.de/Ecoticfate-Luftqualit%C3%A4tsmonitor-Luftqualit%C3%A4t-Luftqualit%C3%A4tsdetektor-Kohlendioxid/dp/B09TP93Q2W)** > > Beschreibung:Der Indoor Air Quality Monitor verwendet Sensortechnologie, um Familien zu schützen.

I can see IKEA has a low price PM2.5 device, but it seems to have some work done with scripting etc. and I’m sure if it’s reliable? Also I can find a German based device, but the price tag is €250+ and I need two. I will not spend that much… There are many air-quality devices, but the majority does not measure PM (Particle Matters) which is basically dust in the air. However it could also be great if such device measures more than just PM, eg. HVOC, CO2, Temp, Humidity etc. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot ---

The Air-Q has several air quality indicators. Not only PM1, 2.5 and 10, but also CO, VOC, etc And most important: it has a Homey app: > [@\[APP\]\[PRO\] airQ advanced indoor Air Quality meter](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-airq-advanced-indoor-air-quality-meter/52938): > > airQ airQ provides advanced indoor air quality data Supported sensor data (depending on the airQ version): Temperature Humidity % Humidity absolute Air pressure Noise Noise Maximum tVOC SO2 CO NO2 O3 O2 CO2 PM1 PM2.5 PM10 Furthermore the following information is supported: Health index Performance index Virus Free index Dew point Health alarm Virus alarm Performance alarm Fire alarm Gas alarm The following controls are possible from Homey: Sound beeper with duration,… ---

Thanks, it has all the things, but costs €399… That is too pricy for me when I need multiple:-) And honestly, the devices from Amazon in my post does the same, so paying €350 just for interacting with homey is not my cup of tea 🙂 ---

Hi. I was looking for something similar myself and I bought this one: [https://a.aliexpress.com/\_mtkQdUa](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtkQdUa) But it doesn’t measure PM10 ☹ ---
