Given that people may have difficulty discerning between "I'm working hard" and "I'm having a hit", anything which helps them decide immediately is a good idea...
I've never experienced a CO2 hit, and i've heard various perspectives on how fast it can come on. for those situations where it builds slowly enough to feel and reack to then i can certainly see how having some kind of meter/alarm would be good.

Here's a freebie for the masses:
Put a small temperature probe with alarm (about £12 GBP) in a slim metal basket with slime on the inhale side of the loop - how about under the Tpiece in the counterlung so we don't get a cocktail? Maybe next to the mouthpiece? Maybe just below the cells in the scrubber, but the difference in heat may be too small... Anyway, the alarm goes off when the temperature rises above the normal level of the loop - e.g. the slime touching the probe is reacting. You calibrate to your water temperatures and that's it.
interesting thought, but still not an actual CO2 detector, more like an expanded version of the temp stick. It sounds like it could have merrit, but would still not satisy the folks that want an actual CO2 meter...which i believe is what is actually in the works.
