Who else is in the path of smoke from the Canadian wildfires? I'm just north of Baltimore and this is my Alexa air quality monitor inside the house in the kitchen.
Wait better question is how did you get that into Hubitat?

Looks like it may be time to start running some air purifiers. Over 200 is a ruff time for pretty much anyone and that is inside. So far it hasn't reached the Carolinas. My outdoor sensor still shows around 20-30 2.5ppm most of the time.
Govee has a few that can be integrated with hubitat.

Is it local on Home Assistant?
What sensor is it
Upstate NY was pretty bad.
Played golf last two days and could feel it.
Just stuck my head out the door-not as stinky.
I haven't been following the news-have the fires abated?
Maybe we're on the trailing edge of the plume.
Govee air quality monitor, air purifier, or both?
It's an Alexa's sensor so I would assume it's not local.

Well just looked it up and it appears they are still burning but we should start to see better numbers this weekend as the direction of the plums will change.
Reminds me of fires in the late 90's in Florida. The office i worked in had to litterly calk around any seal they could to make the place workable. They even seal our patio door. Sorry for anyone impacted.
I think all of their air purifiers can be integrated. I know the ones i have can with my Govee integration. They use the Cloud API.
They only have one air quality monitor and I don't have it to know foe sure. Depending on how it presents information it may be able to be done though. I would just need the aprox $60 (42 right now actually) to get one to test and code for it if possible. If some does have one though i can give them directions on how to validate if it is possible.
Some 150 miles south of Baltimore, here. Indoor AQI is ok, but outdoor is orange. Going into red alert, later on, from what I've heard.
This is in my living room, but with the cooler days have had the windows open.
I don't know how much I trust the AQI it generates, but this is the highest I've seen PM2.5 since I got the sensor (Ikea sensor paired to hubitat) Bonus it works as a zigbee repeater!
Pittsburgh area here.

I use the AirThings air quality monitor which is cloud integrated. Works great!
I have the Indoor and Outdoor Air Gradient monitors. The nice about them is they are open source so it doesn't take much to have them update Hubitat via Maker API. I have the indoor one doing that already, I haven't taken the time to get the outdoor one doing that though. Maybe I will go after that this weekend.

This is what Ecowitt said was going on inside my kitchen yesterday afternoon. Wouldn’t usually look like that unless we are cooking or doing something else that kicks up a lot of particulate matter.

Y'all need to google "Corsi-Rosenthal Box".
Perhaps i shouls say has had minimal impact on the Carolinas. Here is the graph from AirGradient Online Dashboard for my Outside and Inside sensors.
Outside Sensor:
Seems to have maxed out yesterday around 60 in the am. Also since i first responded it has jumped by about 20ppm
Indoor Sensor:
Fortunately it has stated in the green. This is a far cry from the 200 the OP mentioned and that was my point. The fact my sensors never broke 62 means the impact here atleast hasn't been to bad. I suspect all of that that in yellow on that image though, may be elevated from where it would be without the wildfires up there, it isn't much.

I'm in Pittsburgh. So far my kitchen sensor is still showing 0 (good) on the index.
