Awair Glow is a very user friendly/cheap one: https://getawair.com/pages/awair-glow

It has an app (and an API) and monitors CO2, humidity, temp, and VOCs. I like it a lot. For me, it mostly serves as a reminder to open the door for a few minutes before bed and let some fresh air in.

I have an Awair (the regular one, not the glow), it doesn't work with Ubiquiti wifi gear unless you turn on legacy mode for the access points.

Had I known that before I bought it I wouldn't have done so.

I'd love a good looking consumer device like this, especially if it synced with Apple Health and/or Homekit or otherwise allowed data export, but all (Netatomo, Awair, Uhoo, etc) seem to get very poor reviews on Amazon, often claiming they are inaccurate. Has anyone seen a good comparison of whats out there with a suggestion for the best?

Dhh recommends awair highly. Convinced me to get one, he tested a lot.

Hasn't arrived yet so I can't comment directly

I can also recommend that talk and the Awair unit seems to live up to the praise. I know some might suspect shilling by DHH for this product, but given I owe the last 10 years of my career to him, when he speaks I listen a bit closer than normal.

I've been opening the bedroom window before going to sleep but I wonder if it really matters during a normal sleep cycle.

Thanks for the link. I'm getting one.
