Air quality sensor

« Best Buy Tips overview

This 6-in-1 sensor can detect six environmental parameters:

  • Temperature
  • Humidity
  • PM2.5
  • VOC of poisonous gas
  • Formaldehyde (not really accurate)
  • CO2 (not really accurate, then you need a dedicated one)

All these values can affect the health of your home environment.

Normally, you would need a separate sensor for each parameter.

Because the price is low, there are some downsides in sensor precision: the formaldehyde and CO2 readings are not as accurate as dedicated sensors. For the other parameters, it is a good overall air quality sensor to show whether you need some fresh air indoors.
