Why it matters
The SwitchBot CO2 Detector is a CO2 monitor.
CO2 is the best everyday signal of ventilation: outdoor air sits near 420 ppm, and indoor readings above about 1,000 ppm mean the room needs more fresh air.
Price-wise it sat in the cheapest third of the 11 co2 monitor models we cover when we checked; the button shows today's price.
It qualifies for our lists Best CO2 Monitors for Home, Best Air Quality Monitors, where it is ranked against every model that meets the same rule.
The listing gives dimensions of 3.62 x 3.62 x 0.98 inches.
