IKEA made a smart air quality sensor to track indoor pollution

Vindstyrka has a tongue-twisting name, but might improve your health.

IKEA already has a side table that doubles as an air purifier, but
now it has a way to gauge just how clean that air really is. The home
store has introduced a smart indoor air quality sensor, the
Vindstyrka, that gauges particulate matter levels (those smaller than
2.5 micrometers), humidity, temperature and the load of gaseous
pollutants. Ideally, you'll know if your cleaning or cooking habits
are making you sick.

Vindstyrka works by itself, but it unsurprisingly becomes more useful
when connected to IKEA's Dirigera smart home hub. You can check air
quality through the company's app, and have the monitor control other
devices. It can tell a Starkvind purifier to ramp up the fan speed
based on particulate levels, for instance.

IKEA plans to release Vindstyrka in all its markets starting in
April. The company hasn't revealed pricing as we write this, but the
feature set suggests it will be more affordable than high-end air
quality monitors (such as Airthings' $299 View Plus) that also track
CO2, radon and air pressure. It may be a viable option if the
temperature and humidity sensors built into your smart speaker aren't
enough.
