For realtime consumer indoor air quality sensors, I like both the Speck sensor (www.specksensor.com) and the Foobot sensor (www.foobot.com).  For the 2018 DataTip research study, we’re using Foobot because it detects both PM2.5 and tVOCs — we especially need the tVOC data.  Foobot connects to cloud servers via wifi, and there is an IFTTT applet that will move a snapshot of data to a Google Drive spreadsheet every 5 minutes.  Each snapshot of data includes a timestamp, global pollution, PM, tVOC, CO2, temperature, humidity.  Foobot also has an API, which we use to copy 24 hours of data into a database once per night.
