Review on 🔍 Airthings 2930 Quality Monitoring Dashboard by William Pacino

Not a professional, just a concerned dad who wants his kids to breathe safe air - you have to buy a separate Airthings concentrator for over $70.00 USD to take the app away from home - Levels may be larger than they actually are, which may cause unnecessary worry - Different phones connected to the Wave Plus app will show different results/numbers at the same time. To say I am disappointed with Airthings products would be a gross understatement. The devices I've used are fool's gold with a cheat feature. After purchasing the Airthings Wave Plus device, I read the instructions, activated it and started my first test in my upstairs bedroom. The numbers came in very quickly and the radon and CO2 levels were in the red. With a newborn and a toddler I had to fix this. I ventilated the room and took 1 CO2 detector and then a second one in case the detector was broken. Despite the high level of CO2, the detectors did not work. After airing the room, the numbers eventually went down. I left the Wave Plus alone for a few days. The app showed that radon and CO2 levels remained uncertain at times. The high radon levels in my upstairs bedroom seemed strange, but I've read that radon can actually get into the upper part of the house through the ventilation and air conditioning systems. To test the high levels I ordered an Airthings Corentium (special radon scanner) and 3 sets of lab radon test charcoal to check the levels. Radon fluctuates, but my last long-term test (6 months) in the basement was 2.2 pCi/L. To see how accurate this thing is, over the next 48 hours I set up a table in my bedroom with Airthings Wave Plus, Corentium, Activated Carbon Kit, Ecobee 4 sensor and Thermpro to compare the numbers. I also installed 1 lab kit in the basement to see what the numbers were and if the radon could be traveling up through my HVAC system. ecobi sensor) and another test setup for 48-72 hours. *Results data uploaded for review*I got up every 2-3 hours to help feed the newborn and reviewed the results after -------------------- - - Test 1 (Bedroom) Average Radon Levels: Wave Plus: 3.21 pCi/L, Corentium: 2.07, Charcoal Kit: 2.6 pCi/L Basement Charcoal Kit: 3.8 pCi/L - Average Temperature Levels: Wave Plus 76.3, Thermpro 74.7, Ecobee 4: 74.4 Average Humidity: Wave Plus 37%, Thermpro 33%, Ecobee 4 39% ---------------- --- -------- Test 2 (Basement) Radon Average: Wave Plus: 5.04 pCi/L, Corentium: 3.82, Activated Carbon Kit: 3 pCi/L - Temperature Average: Wave Plus 68, Thermpro 67.9 Humidity average: Wave Plus 38%, Thermpro 32% ------ ------------------- Short term results (48-72 hours) for both Airthings products are ridiculous inaccurate. The best I can say about these products is that they can give you an idea of your radon levels. Wave Plus shows a high value of 0.5-1.5 pCi/L, and at the same time Corentium shows about 0.5 less than a. Wave Plus only seems accurate for temperature. I bought an air purifier that monitors air quality and shows a simple color display: blue (good), yellow (medium), red (bad). If the air purifier was blue, the Wave Plus was red, etc. Given the inaccuracy of the radon results, I trust the air purifier. For less than 7 days trial period, these products are a disaster. It might get better in the long run, but I won't see it happen again. You also have to buy their very expensive Airthings hub to use their app outside the home. The app showed different readings for the same device at the same time. As? Is this product even legal? Has anyone else had this experience?
