10 Must-Have Smart Home Gadgets Redefining Daily Life

9. Smart Air Quality & Wellness Monitors

Clean air isn’t something to take for granted. Smart air quality and wellness monitors (like Airthings or Awair Element) quietly check for pollutants, allergens, humidity, and even CO2—all critical for restful sleep and healthy living. If you or a loved one struggles with allergies, asthma, or worries about indoor air, these devices send helpful alerts and practical suggestions without technical overwhelm. According to recent surveys, over three-quarters of smart home device buyers rate health as a very important factor—and for good reason. Data shows how levels change over time, and many monitors integrate with other devices to trigger fans or air purifiers automatically. Prices start around $70, and once you’ve tracked a week of sleep-quality improvements, you’ll see why wellness tech’s segment is booming.
