Oh I didn't realize that worked with home assistant. It's a little different than a Geiger tube, that device uses a PIN diode and reacts to radiation interactions with the diode itself. Accuracy isn't great for dose but probably decent enough. Sensitivity is very very low, takes a while to get a reading. In theory it should be able to handle high dose rate levels but the spec sheet says it only measures to 1 mSv/hr which is pretty low, I don't know why. Their radon sensor is a different sensor tech, and CO2 and such is standard stuff pretty easy to implement.
