Netatmo Air Quality Monitor review
Netatmo Smart Indoor Air Quality Monitor (NHC-UK)
By Tom Calder
The cheapest genuine CO2 monitor here, and the only one that also measures noise — a real differentiator in a home office or a room next to a busy road. It is old hardware for the money, it has no screen, and it is mains-only, so it goes dark the moment the power does. Its "Asthmatic", "Baby" and "Family" app profiles are adjustable alert thresholds, not health features, and should not be read as anything more.
- Best for
- A cheap, permanently plugged-in CO2 reading in a room where noise levels are also worth knowing.
- Skip it if
- You want a CO2 figure you can read at a glance without your phone

What we like
- Cheapest route to a real CO2 reading at the keenest UK sellers
- Noise-level sensing that nothing else on this page offers
- Wi-Fi straight to the app plus Apple Home compatibility, with no hub to buy separately
Worth knowing
- Mains-only via USB adaptor with no battery, so it stops working in a power cut
- No screen — readings live in the app, with only a colour-coded LED on the device itself
- Apple Home compatibility is a platform feature, not a safety or accuracy credential

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if you want a CO2 figure you can read at a glance without your phone — the Aranet4 Home has the display for it.
