I was surprised to learn that the Airthings Wave Plus ($180~) doesn't measure PM2.5. It is cool that it does Radon and VOCs which this cannot do.
This seems like it could either compete OR complement an Airthings Wave Plus for like 35% of the cost. Since they both offer different and overlapping data.
I wonder what you'd need to do to get Radon and VOCs too in this solution (essentially match and exceed the Airthings Wave Plus)?
Last time I looked into gas sensors (for measuring SO₂ and NO₂ which reach extreme levels in my area), they were $100+ each, depending on the gas it's measuring.
Have you looked at the View Plus (€300-ish)? It has PM2.5, CO2, radon, humidity, pressure and temperature. Also I believe it has multiple of some of the same sensors for better accuracy.
This thing looks amazing, and entire first batch is sold out!
Definitely going to pick one up when they are available. I might save a few bucks diong the DIY route, but at the end of the day, I would just buy 3-4 more shares of a vanguard thing, and have to tinker/maintain a grafana dashboard, where this thing is probably getting new apps/updates/features monthly.
