Air quality sensors? (lemmy.world)

I had a set of Davis Instruments air quality sensors that I kluged to work with HA. The one I use outdoors is no longer working, so I'm looking for a replacement. Can you recommend any particulate sensors that work directly with HA?

For the DI sensors, they have a local API that I wrote a custom script for that would get the various particulate readings and calculate the AQI. I'm not really in the mood to jump through all those hoops at the moment, so if there's one that runs off zigbee or z-wave?

Seriously*?! Thank you. This sounds odd but I've been looking for something to work where I work. I know nothing, except all the big name vendors are thousands of dollars for "industrial grade" cheap looking sensors. It's been a harsh several meetings with these vendors trying to sell me $4-6k for little shit.

Edit: anyone have ideas for room pressure differential? Like a magnahelic , but digital of sorts?
