I did it a few years ago, it was very easy to do, and integrated very fine with Home Assistant.

It's not too hard to do, you just have to have the component, and some solder.

The main issue I have is the noise, it is really noticeable (and the sound mode makes it less accurate: https://github.com/Hypfer/esp8266-vindriktning-particle-sens...)

Man I can't wait until someone come with a more user friendly alternative to Home ASSistant.

It's YAML hell. I work with YAML at work and then when I come home I have to fiddle with YAML again.

There are Python, C#, and I believe JavaScript options. Can't totally avoid yaml but you don't have to use it that much.

I set HASS up a year ago or so and it’s been great. Don’t need to fiddle with anything aside from having to migrate when my zigbee stick died.

I can happily report that the Vindstyrka is silent, so it's a reasonable upgrade (also supports Zigbee out of the box).

Anything with a little fan in it won't be silent...

Don't think there are any affordable particle sensors with fan though
