Air quality sensors?

Hardware

Are there any air quality sensors that:

  • are locally controlled (not cloud integration) (wifi, Z-Wave, and ZigBee are all fine)
  • measure PM2.5 and VOCs
  • not too expensive (I wanted 2-3 of these)
  • isn’t crap
  • isn’t a time consuming DIY project

I do not need CO2 readings. Not until air purifiers manage to convert CO2 into O2 anyway.

I’ve heard the IKEA air quality sensors are trash, and everything else I’ve seen is either an annoying DIY project or >$200 which makes buying multiples outside my budget.

UPDATE: The key is to find someone selling a ton of Awair Elements at $50, just make sure it sounds normal when turned on.

I am also very interested in this topic.
For me, i love to have as much sensors as possible. Incl. co2, co, o2, pm2.5, pm10, hcho, voc, temp, hum, etc.
But is not a must to have them all. I have a pellet stove in the livingroom so i want to measure what influence this has on air quality.
Love to have a good multi sensor with local readout direct into HA
