IKEA has announced the VINDSTYRKA smart air quality sensor. The announcement is coming weeks after the product was leaked. The smart air quality sensor can monitor PM2.5 air levels, temperature, and humidity in a room. It comes with a companion app and it can be integrated into the smart home ecosystem. Although specified for launch in April, the gadget is already on the shelves in Germany.
We saw leaked photos earlier this year of the IKEA air quality sensor. It can detect PM2.5 levels, dust, and ash particles that could be inhaled. It can also measure Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) which estimates the volume of gaseous pollutants in smoking or cleaning products. The IKEA VINDSTYRKA detects humidity and room temperature. The readings are displayed on a screen with red, yellow, and green lights showing the air quality.
The VINDSTYRKA can be linked to the IKEA DIRIGERA hub. Furthermore, you can track the readings in the IKEA Home smart app and trigger other gadgets in the IKEA smart home ecosystem. The air purifier can be set to switch on when a certain PM2.5 threshold is reached in the room.
The VINDSTYRKA air purifier has been spotted on shelf listings in some locations in Germany. However, the product will be released in April 2023. There are still some details lacking for the IKEA air purifier. The IKEA VINDSTYRKA air purifier is priced in Europe at 39.99 Euros ($43). We expect more details, including pricing in other markets to surface as we inch closer to the launch.
