#Recommendation between Airthings, Airgradient and other indoor air quality devices?

I am working about 10 hours a day from a small room with windows that are opening to a bigger street. I am wondering if there is any point for me getting an air sensor and check the air quality inside the room and when needed open the window (tradeoff being the noise). Or this is too overkill for such a usecase to have an air quality sensor. The room has two laptops, one big display a bunch of lights for plants that are in the room and some overhead defuse lights for meeting. I have a HA yellow if that matters and live in the Europe

I always recommend people checking their air quality when working from home. The most important is CO2, this is not something you can feel, except you might feel tired / exhausted. Temperature, VOC, humidity etc is nice to have, but not something you need. I also work a lot from home, and I control my ventilation with my Airthings Wave Plus.

I have both. Regarding air quality: AirGradient has particulate matter PM sensor, configurable OLED display and is USB powered, and Airthings Wave+ has Radon sensor, no display, and is battery powered. Both are quality devices. For the sensors they both have (CO2, VOC, Temp, Humidity) they tend to agree with each other. The Airthings View Plus has Radon and PM 2.5 but is expensive. If you don't need Radon monitoring , get the AirGradient. It's available in easy to plug together inexpensive kit
