| | RadonAn invisible, colourless, odourless, tasteless radioactive gas emitted from rocks and soil. As radon levels fluctuate daily and can accumulate indoors, the only way to ensure radon levels stay low is through long term radon testing. | Carbon DioxideAn exhaled gas impacting sleep, health, and productivity. Occupancy and daily activities can increase carbon dioxide indoors. Know when levels are high and adjust ventilation accordingly. | Volatile organic compoundsVOCs are chemicals found in everyday items including cleaning products, furniture and paint. Our Total VOC sensor alerts you to high levels of a long list of chemicals. |

Love this thing, it reminds me to go open the window and get fresh air. Called them for suggestions of an air purifier to pair it with, and they gave me options and were super helpful.

We bought this unit as we really liked our first Wave Plus but it really doesnt want to sync or update properly...just when you think it is pooched it starts working agai

Since having this for four months I can say I really do think it was a worthwhile investment.
I live in a smaller 700 sq detached house with a crawlspace so I want to make sure my air quality is good.
I turned my radon fan off to test how the device measures and this device responds, going from green to red, so I know my radon system is working.
I installed a whole house fan a couple of summers ago and I’m also impressed with how fast I can clear out the CO2 levels with opening the living room window and turning on the WHF.
Also using this with a humidifier let’s me fine tune the humidity within my smaller house and make sure it’s not overly humid, causing mold and mildew growth.
Great for any space where you want to accurately monitor what you’re breathing in, thinking about buying another for the bedroom.
The main reason I purchased this was for the radon tester but have have also found the other readings very useful and interesting. Only had this device for three weeks but so far I am very happy with it.

UI is easy enough to use. Multiple contractors I talked to who specialize in radon mitigation systems claim these are very accurate compared to their professional tools when that have compared. Temp and humidity seems reasonably close to my calibrated hygrometer.

I mostly liked everything about this monitor. I noticed our CO2 levels go up but when I open the windows and doors the CO2 levels go back to good. The VOCs come and go and mostly stay low. The Radon level is good so far but it's only been 5 days. They say you should wait 4 weeks to really make sure. The monitor gives you the current level as well as the average levels.

Good detector- i chose this over others because it monitors radon in addition to co2, volatile organic compounds, temp and humidity. They were easy to set up and the app has a nice user interface. I have used this to modulate opening windows, air purifier etc. one qualm which is not trivial is that the syncing mechanism could use some improvement; as standalones, they sync with bluetooth to your cell phone but only when in range, and it can take a few minutes depending on connection. I ended up purchasing the hub, because it made the sync seamless, but cost an extra 99$ and requires an Ethernet cable. I agree with others that the sync process without it was a bit frustrating. Now i am happy with the app and devices, but it took some more setup than i planned.
Set up and use has been very easy. It hasn't been a month yet so waiting to see how it works for us overall (accuracy). So far pleased with ease of use and information.

I had passed a home Radon test years ago with a mail in test. Many neighbors have recently added radon abatement to their homes. I thought I should recheck my levels. I bought the upgraded Waved Plus unit for Radon and VOCs, since I spend lots of time in my basement workshop and also use a lot of chemicals. Super interesting to see the swings in radon levels and how one week it can be low and the next we are flirting with red levels.
I purchased this unit mainly for the radon level. It was showing around 50 pCi/L we had somebody come in and install a radon unit now it is averaging around 1.6 pCi/L it really proved itself to me after I had a unit installed and the numbers changed so drastically. It’s not like I told the wave plus that anything had changed in the house but it detected the change.
I purchased this so I could see whether radon was an issue at my house. Works as intended and has given me the peace of mind I was looking for. No need to send a sample to a third party, data is now just a click away. Pretty great.

Excellent produc
Cumple lo que promete, tiene buen calibre con la calidad del aire .
I had my radon mitigation system installed. I did a before and after check with the lab results. The results matches this little device’s reading.

Highest quality sensor for testing ai
There is no substitute for quality hardware when testing air quality.
It’s not just about good software.
You must have the very best sensor.
This tester is the most accurate of anything available now to consumers other than buying ultra expensive lab equipment.
Great simple set up. App acquisition and setting up the device was super simple. It takes 7 days to calibrate, so no word on actual performance yet.

Controlar el gas Radó
Calidad de fabricacin y una app muy fiable y potente
C’est le deuxime Wave Plus que j’achte. Le premier est all au sous-sol pour le radon. Le second dans mon bureau qui n’est pas bien ventil pour le CO2 et les particules en suspension (COV).
Quand on ne sait pas, on ne peut pas prendre action. C’est ce que l’appareil me permet de faire: mesurer pour prendre action.
L’appareil fonctionne batteries, qui sont fournies. Tout le monitoring et la gestion se fait par l’entremise de l’App qui communique avec les appareils par bluetooth. La porte est trs bonne. Dans ma maison, je peux obtenir la lecture des deux appareils de n’importe o.
L’appareil mesure la temprature, le taux d’humidit, le taux de CO2, de particules (COV), de radon et la pression athmosphrique. Il est possible de consulter des graphiques de l’historique des mesures.
La mesure de la temprature, de l’humidit, du CO2 et de la pression atmosphrique est rapide. L’appareil a besoin d’une semaine de calibrage pour mesurer les COV et le radon, et la mesure du radon semble tre une moyenne mobile sur une priode de temps plutt qu’une mesure unique.
L’appareil a la taille d’un dtecteur de fume, et peut tre fix au mur avec des vis, ou simplement dpos sur une surface.
Quelques constats depuis le dbut de l’utilisation:
– La concentration de CO2 dans une pice du sous-sol ventil par changeur d’air de 15’x28′ est gnralement autour de 600ppm mais augmente rapidement au-dessus de 1000ppm lorsqu’une personne s’y entrane pour seulement 30 minutes, ou que plusieurs personnes occupent la pice pour une heure. Cela m’a amen maintenir l’activit de l’changeur d’air tout l’hiver pour maintenir une meilleure qualit d’air.
– L’utilisation d’un foyer lectrique augmente radicalement la prsence de COV dans l’air.
– La mesure de radon varie normment selon la temprature extrieur, les chutes de neiges et la pression athmosphrique mais la concentration demeure scuritaire dans le sous-sol et ne ncessite pas d’autres actions.
– La concentration de CO2 dans mon bureau non-ventil est constamment en haut de 800ppm, et m’a amen ouvrir la fentre plus souvent et envisager une solution de ventilation permanente.
This is easy to use and gives lots of information. Bought it to monitor radon in our basement but it also measures several other things. While it seems accurate (temperature registers very close to nearby thermometer) there's really no way to really know unless you compare it to several random lab tests ($$$$). It tracks data, forms graphs and sends it to your phone. Really easy to use and, if accurate, really good product.

We have a couple lab readings over a couple years that were not consistent (2.3, 4.1) so I wanted something that would give me more data. This is exactly that. The fact that it doesn’t connect to my home network is fine with me…I just go to the device from time to time and it uploads the data that it’s been keeping.
I am able to now read the data and determine what is realistic for my basement. I’ve found that the pressure and the radon seem to be in somewhat of a sync. When pressure is low, radon is high. That reconciles with what I read online – the lower pressure in the house “sucks in” the radon through the foundation cracks.
The device serves the purpose that I desired from it. No issues, no frustrations, no other expectations. I’m so happy I got it so I can feel more informed when “mitigators” discuss my needs.
When you buy these things you are always suspicious on how well the sensors would work on a consumer device. Well, I am quite convinced that here the sensors do work and are fairly sensitive. The temperature and CO2 readings are in line with other monitors I have had in the past. I was most interested in the VOC sensor. What did it detect (if anything)? I accidentally put an alcohol infused wipe next to the Wave and it’s VOC reading almost immediately shot up. A few days later (already on purpose) I put a benzalkonium chloride infused wipe next to the device and again the VOC sensor detected it almost immediately. The color light is quite useful as a quick indication on when you need to air the room. Unfortunately with modern well-insulated windows air quality quickly becomes poor and you need to air often. Overall I would recommend this device, even if it is fairly expensive for a consumer device. It is the most comprehensive air quality monitor that I know of today.

Indispensable -
I purchased 2 of these units plus the hub to place in our long, narrow apartment. We have a family of 4. After purchasing the first unit, I was shocked at the level of CO2 in our apartment. As with many apartments we have radiator heat and no mechanical ventilation of outside air.
Now, after using these units through the winter, we’ve discovered that we can not EVER close the windows entirely without experiencing a rise to the red zone of CO2. It’s clearly working well since both units at opposite ends agree but at different exact readings, and levels go down once we open windows, and sometimes we need to use a fan to ventilate further. We’ve also noticed an improvement in our quality of sleep, though we do need to use a good feather duvet as the rooms are a bit colder.
Modern insulation should not be used in any residence that does not have a mechanical air exchange system. While it does conserve energy, also the buildings cannot breathe or ventilate themselves. Opening a window for 10 minutes is useless because the CO2 soon rises to dangerous levels again. Ours have spiked at 1200ppm if we don’t leave windows open several CM.
