IQAir AirVisual Pro

IQAir AirVisual Pro is the professional-grade option in this comparison: laser PM2.5, NDIR CO2, temperature and humidity, with real-time outdoor AQI data overlay from the AirVisual global monitoring network. The outdoor station data is the unique feature no other product here offers — you see indoor vs outdoor PM2.5 in context. Large standalone display readable from across a room. Available from major online retailers at premium import pricing. no smart home integration of any kind — no HomeKit, no Alexa, no Google Home, and no local API without third-party bridging; the most expensive product in this comparison; the outdoor station data accuracy depends on the nearest monitoring station's distance from your location, which may be many kilometres in rural areas; the interface design is functional but dated compared to Awair.

IQAir's AirVisual Pro is the pro-grade pick — a large standalone display readable across a room, laser PM2.5, NDIR CO2, and the unique outdoor AQI overlay from IQAir's global monitoring network. In metro areas the nearest government station is typically within 5-10 km, and seeing your indoor PM2.5 in context of outdoor readings is the only way to make sensible window-open decisions during a cross-border pollution event. The trade is structural: zero smart home integration of any kind. No HomeKit, no Alexa, no Google Home, no local API without a Home Assistant bridge. It is the most expensive product here, and the interface design feels dated next to Awair — function over form, very deliberately.
