While I agree, there's not much available in the market because it's smart. I use it to run automation such as my humidifier, smart plug'd vornado heater, and not-smart-but-still-effective Winix C535 retrofitted with a switchbot. Extra, sure, but it helps my older folks during winter save money for the convenience of never having to get up

Most air purifiers will tell you the quality in each room. Maybe worth $20 imo.

I have one made by "Breathe" that connects to an app and does a pretty good job. The first one I bought would not dim the display when you were not moving (so it was like sleeping with the light on, super bright all night)- motion sensor was bad. But support was great and replaced it quickly without fuss. But that one was $100.

Well.. if people already have the z-wave/zigbee network established, adding a zigbee air quality monitor is only around $15-$20 each... controlling smart and non-smart device through the z-wave/zigbee hub is easy too... Of course, a lot of us already in kind-of amazon eco-system so adding this is easy but I still dont see the high price tag point of it compare to other products with the same functionality and in also very popular platform.

I kinda want one but I don't want to buy devices that are reliant on proprietary protocols. Are there alternatives that are more smarthome friendly?
There're some zigbee air monitor devices available in the market and zigbee is an open source protocol. One thing I want say is i never own zigbee air monitor device as i don't really need one of it.. most of of my AC/heater/air purifier already have their detector/controller and don't need another one. Therefore, I don't have any experience of the quality of these devices.

Can you link some of these devices at the price point? I was only seeing $50+
I have a really cool one with a beautiful display I got from Ikea. I looked at this before but it annoyed me that it has no display. I also have a couple of Dysons and they show the air quality on them.
I've owned this for several years; it's compact and good. two big downsides (1) it does not work with a web interface, only with smartphone app (2) similarly, it does not natively work with screen on an alexa device (which is a bit surprising). the alexa will tell you (or show you briefly) the air quality after a very specific voice command, but it does not display the current air quality natively like a clock or calendar. so i only work this with a smartphone alexa app.
A small screen on it would make a much better device; without it, it is so-so.

They'll show "good", "not very good" and "very bad" and not be very good at that. They're kind of useless.
Any detector worth its salt is going to actually give you the particle counts/specific levels and no regular air purifier is going to do that. My $350 coway air purifier can't distinguish between "kinda moderate" PM2 levels and 10 times the recommended limit.
I have an aliexpress laser detector I bought for $40 years ago and sadly they don't sell them anymore. It specifically used a detector unit that people recommended. Wish I'd bought more than one at the time.

Also, separately, note that it does CO and not CO2.
