... Are you really using iot for a co2 sensor of all things? It's one thing if your smart toaster fails to start when your car enters the garage, it's another when a device to save your life decides to do an npm update at the wrong time and you go to sleep. For good.

Sitting in an increasingly concentrated puddle of my own CO₂ when I close the door of my small home office is not a life safety issue. It just seems to affect my cognitive performance at some point. If there were CO₂ tanks or combustion in play, I'd be using a proper industrial CO₂ alarm.

This is probably to keep CO2 below 500/600 ppm, not a safety device.

CO2 is pretty safe because your body has a built in sensor.
