Indoor Air-Monitoring Devices

The Airthings Wave Plus Keeps a Constant Eye on Air Quality

The Airthings Wave Plus is positioned as an advanced solution for the home or office to constantly monitor the quality of air to activate purifiers or open windows as required. The unit works by keeping an eye on the temperature, air pressure and humidity within a space, while also detecting VOCs, carbon dioxide and even radon. Tests are performed by the device every five minutes to keeping inhabitants informed of the air quality at all times to make environmental changes accordingly to keep their space fresh and healthy.

The Airthings Wave Plus is best used with the accompanying app, but can also be activated by simply waving your hand in front of it to get a color-based update on the air quality.
