| Z-Wave smart plug | Partly works Local | Made smart via smart plug or Z-Wave relay plus particulate sensorsSaved copyI really like the Holmes Aer1. Pair it with a smart plug or a built-in Z-Wave relay, and a couple hacked Ikea PM2.5 particulate sensors and you're off to the races pretty affordably. Imo the larger air purifiers that claim to do 1,000 ft². Don't really do that. If you have circulator fans running to kick the air towards the units then maybe. But I personally think you're better off having smaller units in each room. I can also tell you empirically that during the wildfires this summer. That small unit would keep the particulate count in a single digits if I closed the bedroom door. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2023-11 |

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
