Matter Air Quality Sensors: Sonoff vs IKEA vs LG vs Aqara

A thirty dollar sensor exposed a CO2 problem in my bedroom I had no idea existed, and it completely changed how I automate air quality across my smart home.
If you're building a Matter-based setup and wondering which air quality sensor actually delivers on its promises, this is the only comparison you need.

✅ What PM2.5, CO2, and TVOC sensors actually measure and why each one matters
✅ Matter over Thread vs Matter over Wi-Fi and how your connection type affects automations
✅ The $30 IKEA Alpstuga and why it's the best value in this entire category
✅ Sonoff AirGuard 07P and 08P compared: fast particle tracking vs NDIR-grade CO2 accuracy
✅ LG Air Quality Sensor and Aqara TVOC: when each one makes sense (and their hidden costs)
✅ The Sensereo Airo: the modular dock-and-pod sensor that could change this whole category
