More information
ALPSTUGA Air quality sensor, smart
Displays your air quality at home by measuring carbon dioxide (CO₂), particles (PM2.5), temperature and humidity – helping you make life at home smoother, more comfortable and safer.
Recommended to be used with one of our air purifiers. When it indicates that the air quality in your home is poor, turn on the air purifier to improve the indoor air quality.
Place it in the living room, bedroom or other rooms where you spend a lot of time.
You can also set it to display the time and use it as a clock.

Nice little sensor that works with Home Assistant SarahI was curious about the CO2 levels in various rooms and for the price this was hard to beat. My research indicated it would serve well as more of a general guide rather than precise measurements but I was ok with that. It integrates with Home Assistant easily and exposes all the measurements. I do notice the lights seem to dim with the light, but no light sensor data is exposed. It would be nice if you could choose what info is displayed on the sensor via Home Assistant. White lights on white look nice but two issues: 1) in larger rooms that makes it harder to read from far away 2) white lights aren't great for when you want to sleep. I'm glad I can automate turning the light off entirely via HA otherwise these would be awful for a bedroom. But for a cheap little sensor I am still pleased!
Works great with SmartThingsGlennI've got a SmartThings hub and I have Alexa hooked in for voice control. This works great when connected to the SmartThings hub. I'm up to three of them around the house so that I can keep track of air quality during the wildfire season.
Decent for the priceRyanThis is a decent little Thread air quality monitor for the price, but it has some quirks. For one, it doesn't keep its time or C/F setting following a power cycle (fortunately, it will set the time from the Thread network). The CO2 sensor also seems to be pretty far off. I have better quality CO2 sensors in my house, and this one consistently reads out around 400ppm below my other sensors. Other readings seem fine though.
Works With Home AssistantAnonymousInstalled my two devices to Home Assistant. HA now syncs the time on my network connected ALPTSUGA sensors.
Now I know what I'm breathingFrancisFound out our bedroom was extremely stuffy at night with CO2 going up to 1800 units. The device also warned me when the recent climate crisis triggered forest fires in Canada and upper US states blew thick clouds of smoke at us. The PM2.5 count it measured in our house went sky high.
Perfect deviceKyleI have been using this device since shortly after its launch, and while the stability wasn’t great in the beginning with the updates that were pushed, it has significantly improved.
I am a long-time Home Assistant user, and I was a little bit skeptical of switching from my Zigbee-heavy ecosystem to using Matter devices. But I wanted to get with the way of the future and see what it's all about.
Now, my Matter server is even more stable than the Zigbee server devices, and I love the prices! You cannot find anything anywhere else close to this and cost to quality ratio
Eas of use and works as expected JasonVery simple set up however there are times it's disconnected from the border thread hub needing to unplug the power for a bit.
Five in oneGraceThis device has a C02 monitor, Particulate meter, clock, humidity and temperature sensor. Good value for the price.
Decent valueSamuelThis is a decent value for a basic air quality monitor. It’s small and unobtrusive, and its matter connection works well with home assistant. I’d say the display makes it functionally useless outside if a smart home environment, where you rely on something else to display the data, but it works for my use case.
My biggest gripe is the clock. You have to set it manually with a very unintuitive series of button presses. If it loses power you have to set the clock again. There is no apparent way to set it through your matter connected smart home hub.
Another odd design choice is that you can only turn the display on and off through the smart home hub. No way to do it with physical buttons.
I have 2 of them and the CO2 is off by 400 PPMHaoJust buy a good one. this is not worth your time
Accurate sensor, broke 3 separate timesLoganThe sensor is amazingly accurate, and I loved having it in my room as an alarm clock. However, I went through 3 in like 1 month because they kept boot looping after a few days of being plugged in, resetting the time, brightness, and setting it to CO2 instead of the clock.
Great purchase! Love the clock mode.NeemaI’m using mine as a small clock on my bedroom nightstand that also happens to log air quality and CO2 levels as I sleep. I was particularly impressed that it automatically adjusts its brightness to match the room when I turn the lights down. What a great design choice! It’s clear that IKEA had considered this exact use case. Works with Home Assistant.
Work's as advertisedChristopherDoes what I want, wish it worked with Starkvind.
Get the power cable.ReganUSB-C cables will work just fine too, but this thing needs to be plugged in 100%. There is no battery in it to charge.
Life ChangingJeffreyThis terrifying little gadget taught me that I was killing myself in my apartment with the windows closed. No more! Now I know just how bad it gets when I use my gas stove and set my world and health on fire. Thanks, IKEA!
Great Addition to my Smart homeTomI love these, and have 4 of them running in my smart home. They connect perfectly with Google Home through Matter over Thread and expose all the information I need to keep my family healthy!! The price is perfect as well
Excellent -- once connectedAndrewIt took many tries to get it connected, but I'm really happy with it now that it's set up. This is an awesome little device. I have several of them around the house.
Capable for the price, but some flawsJoshuaFor the price, this is a very capable device. The CO2 readings are imprecise, but are reasonably accurate and useful for the basic purpose of knowing whether to ventilate the room. Competing products with more precise sensors are much more expensive.
The biggest problem is that temperature unit and 12 vs 24 hour time selection do not persist when unplugging the device. The device also offers no way for a Matter hub to read or update these settings, even though the Matter standard does offer a way to do so. Hopefully Ikea will fix this in a firmware update.
Will not Connect to DIRIGERAMartinHub firmware up to date, dozens of attempts. Matter devices get stuck at "checking connectivity to Thread network.
Half-BakedMaxThe alpstuga multi-sensor has some nice features, but there are several design flaws which make it a pain to use. It seems to report temperatures and CO2 concentrations which differ wildly from other sensors, so I'm not sure how reliable the sensors in the alpstuga are. Even worse, when the device loses power, it does not retain any settings. There are some features which should be exposed to smart home controllers but aren't, such as the LED brightness and the ability to calibrate temperature readings.
