Do these exist? I've found Indoor Air Quality Monitor for apple, but none for Google.
I saw dumb ones for about 40ish. I thought it'd be more useful to have a historical graph.

Good on you for thinking about this.
Most people have no clue how bad our air quality is in summer. And in winter depending on how many neighbours use wood heat.
The cheapest solution is a Dylos air particle monitor from the us. Its not cheap. Once you get one, you'll need a 240v decent air filter. You should get that from abroad too. The prices for Australian made stuff are stupid.
Dylos air particle monitor
The OP seems to want something that connects to Google - I couldn't see that mentioned anywhere on the Dylos web site.
Actually, now I think about it, how does the OP expect the device to "connect to Google" anyway? Maybe they just mean that the device needs to have an Android app? I think I'd rather have something that emitted an audible alert if things got dangerous, like a smoke detector.
Well, I thought OP wants one that works first and foremost. That looks like a consumer grade piece of garbage. The first review on amazon states:
Unreliable readings
Reviewed in Australia on 3 February 2020
It doesn't work. I live in Sydney and we recently had very poor quality due to bushfires. You didn't need a monitor to tell, the sky looked brown, the cars are covered with ash and the smell of smoke some days was very pungent. We have a newborn and decided to monitor the air quality in the house and buy a large airfilter. Air filter has a filtering efficency of 99.7% for particles as small as 0.3um. We placed the monitor in front of the filter as well as outside in a smoky day… Same readings of pm2.5 and always in the green, safe to breathe band. Needless to say that values reported by the media and authorities were quite different. Contacted support and tried to sold us some b******t on how their technology is different and thus we should interpret the numbers differently. Be AWARE that if you trust the readings believing you and your family are breathing safe air it might not be the case.I don't know jack shit about finding an air particle monitor that 'connects to google'. But if OP wants an air particle monitor, for cheap, then they should get a Dylos. It's used by scientists and the state of california to test the air quality outside of primary schools.
If OP wants a toy that makes pretty pictures in google then they should buys something like that.
Actually you're right. I don't need google. I just need an app with history I guess.
And possibly alerts.
Here's one with an Android app, but it's not cheap at $469
Should I assume the various AQM on amazon/ali etc for <$100 don't work despite having claims for accuracy?
Good luck. I had a fair look during the bushfires but the consumer end of market seemed to be pretty much garbage (eg I could put them outside while the whole city was blanketed in bushfire smoke and it was still "green" and "good").
