Same. I've been a huge Home Assistant fan and minor contributor for many years. My house is among the smartest houses I've ever heard of. HVAC control, security system, air quality monitoring, multi-site IT systems monitoring, lighting controls (including LED strips that update to the right color scheme for the next holiday), whole-house networked audio (including streaming off-site if connected to the VPN), on and on. All self-hosted, on-prem, zero cloud, coordinated by Home Assistant. Offsite notifications via email, offsite control and monitoring via my Openwrt router's VPN server.

Have your written up your implementation? What type of air quality sensors have you used and how are they integrated into the home’s behavior?

  +1 for the air quality sensors question. I only found 1 for CO2 levels, and it is not connected. And even that one costed $120.

    Tuya Zigbee air quality sensors on AliExpress start around $20. I can't speak to their accuracy, but they are supported by Zigbee2MQTT and provide a CO2 reading. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS0601_air_quality_sensor.html https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS0601_air_quality_sensor...

  I have done a bunch of writeups, in this category [1] The weather station post in particular with the sensors is here [2] [1] https://partofthething.com/thoughts/category/electronics-and-physics/home-automation/ https://partofthething.com/thoughts/category/electronics-and...
