It is 4x more expensive than the VINDRIKTNING but the newer VINDSTYRKA (Zigbee with a display) setup in seconds and just works via zigbee2mqtt.
Guess it depends if you have a lot of ESPs kicking around or can get them shipped with all parts and build for low enough / fast enough to justify it.
I wish either of the IKEA devices measured more. I picked up an Awair Element used off eBay and set it up to provide data locally. The C02 sensor in particular has been really enlightening.
CO2 would be very useful. I picked up two VINDSTYRKA as I have been concerned about PPM counts in the air as we have a few people with asthma. The VOC reading is kind hard to use in HA as it works against a rolling average and a score in a range.
