Airthings Wave 1st Generation - Smart Radon Detector with free app – Easy-to-Use – Temp and Humidity – Accurate – No Lab Fees – Battery Operated

My home was built in a new development in 2017 with a passive radon mitigation system in place (passive is useless at reducing radon, but at least much of the infrastructure is in place to facilitate activating later). Some in the neighborhood claimed to have high radon levels, while others claimed they're low. Since I planned to finish my basement, make it liveable, and have one of my kids' bedrooms down there, I wanted to know for sure, wanted to monitor over time, and didn't want to pay for testing, wait for results, pay again, wait again, and pay for someone to activate my mitigation system, so I bought this device.I quickly learned that I have high radon levels that fluctuate based on a variety of conditions throughout the year (e.g., snow melt and rainfall saturate the earth and put pressure on radon gases to find an escape...into my home). I kept monitoring the levels while making plans to install a radon exhaust fan in my attic on the passive mitigation system (fan creates a vacuum, pulling radon up and out of the roof). The device connects to your phone via Bluetooth and there's a simple user-friendly app where radon levels, humidity, and temperature are all tracked over time. If you fail to connect for days or months, the device stores the measurements and you still get them the next time you connect.After installing the fan, I could see in the app the immediate and sustained drop in the radon levels, dropping from red (dangerous levels) down to green (safe levels). Now that the fan is installed, I can still track levels and fluctuations and will know when the fan requires swapping out when levels increase.Beyond this, I've shared the device with a few neighbors, finding out houses right next door have low levels without a fan, while others throughout the neighborhood have high levels. I shared with my parents in one of their homes, then another when they moved.Admittedly, the device is a lot more expensive than a one-time test, but it provides peace of mind and an understanding that a single test will never legitimately provide. Plus, you can share with neighbors and family members to keep them safe as well. I keep the device on my son's dresser, so he can wave his hand over it to see the levels illustrated in colored led lights. That's right, I failed to mention that you can merely wave your hand over the device to get red, yellow/orange, or green lighting responses based on radon levels. The blue indicates it's processing or lost connection to your phone.I've been using the device for around six years and it still works great! Highly recommend!

Seems to work ok, but the bluetooth range is very limited, if it works at all? I was foolish enough to order 2 of the units as one has been a problem from day one, and now it goes through a set of batteries in a day or two? Emailed tech support and all they see is it syncs to their database each time I put new batteries in and they are good with that. I would not buy this model again for any price! I have one to give away that eats batteries!

This product will give home owners absolute assurance that radon mitigation systems are working. As a bonus, this device actually comes with three sensors; radon, temperature, and humidity. All three sensors appear to be accurate as compared to data from other sensors. But this product allows the user to see both the real-time values as well as a graph of historical data with averages over various time ranges for each of the three sensors. The Airthings Wave App for Android and iOS devices provides the means to access the sensor data that has been collected. The App allows the user to configure each Airthings Wave sensor (perhaps one in the basement and one on the first floor) so that collected data is clearly distinguishable between sensors. The App on the mobile device becomes the gateway so that sensor data can be viewed anytime and from anywhere on the 'Dashboard' from the Airthings website. The App was successfully installed on both Android and iOS devices and provided a means for seeing the sensor data on the mobile device or the Dashboard. The included picture clearly shows how a radon mitigation system reduced radon levels from 10.5 pCi/L to less than 0.4 pCi/L. You will get accurate measurements from this device and the access to the historical data by either the mobile App or the Dashboard on the website makes this product a very worthwhile purchase. I can't imagine going back to spot-check type measurement products after having used this product for just one week.
