We added many components that are not strictly needed to measure air quality but make the device an interesting platform for custom projects. Also, the enclosure is more premium, being made from aluminum. Finally, IKEA can leverage economy of scale and probably gets a much better price on most parts.

Any co2 measuring device costs at least 70$. All devices i know with internet connectivity costs 150$+.

My Qingping Monitor Lite with SenseAir S8 co2 sensor, pm2.5, wifi, and oled display seems to be accurate enough and was only $45.
