Creosote VOC monitoring
Rarely write reviews but this device is a game changer. We bought an old house with a creosote foundation. There was a noticeable odor in the home. Bought this and the hub the VOC info is invaluable. We did renovations and anytime painting or new furniture came values would spike. Humidity levels similar to what thermostat read. Immediately bought a second unit for bedroom and one for crawlspace. Note there is a mini version that is half price for areas that don't need radon monitoring; we used that in our crawlspace. Highly recommended.

Everyone should own an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitor
First of all radon is no joke. I learned about radon many years ago when I moved to a state/county that is classified as EPA's Zone 1 for radon risk. I knew nothing about radon back then however the city/county did a fairly good job educating people about the dangers of this gas. One day I saw this big "Got Radon?" sign by the side of the road with a website to learn more about it. I was curious and followed through. What I learned was very concerning and questioned why I knew about the "dangers" of "mold" and not about a RADIOACTIVE gas that was lingering around my house. I think the answer is that we are obsessed with things that have short term impact but tend to bury our heads under the sand when we need to look ahead in the future 5, 10 or more years. We simply like to think the problem is not there because it is difficult for our brains to register the danger without immediate threat (like a scratchy throat).To cut the story short, I bought a radon test kit and the results came back at 10 PCi/L. We immediately took action and installed a radon mitigation system. Learning that radon levels can fluctuate I always dreamed of having a device that could constantly measure the levels of radon inside our house. Therefore I was thrilled when I found the Wave while browsing for IAQ monitors. We have own the device for a couple of months now, so sharing our thoughts:1) This is a CONSUMER GRADE device, therefore users expectations should be accordingly. The value of owning this device is not to have a measure comparable to professional grade equipment but to have a close idea if you have a radon issue (consistent measures above the recommended threshold taken over a long period of time) or if your home is ok (consistent measures below the recommended threshold taken over a long period of time). This device will show you just that. In terms of accuracy of radon measurements, although we have only been measuring for a few weeks, we now live in an EPA Zone 3 county and we have seen Wave levels consistently measuring below recommended threshold.2) This device measures CO2 (carbon "dioxide") not CO (carbon monoxide). I read some reviews about people's CO alarm not sounding when the Wave was registering high levels of CO2. Well, these are 2 different things.3) In terms of temperature and humidity, we own several monitors in our home. Wave's measurements are comparable to these devices. I would say the wave is consistently 1 or 2 degrees above the cheaper "accurate" devices we have in the house. Same for humidity %4) VOCs measurements are very impressive. We can immediately see the changes in results even with subtle things like sweeping the floors or bringing a box inside our home with things that had been in storage. We just bought a few Wave Minis to place them in the bedrooms as well. This monitor has helped confirm that passive and active ventilation are key to keep VOCs levels below recommended thresholds!5) The app works well and is pretty user friendly. We had no issues downloading or using the app in our phones or iPad. Also, no issues registering the device. I think the level of information is what we need and it is great to have access to historic data.6) Finally, this device requires CALIBRATION. The instructions clearly state that you need to place the device in its intended environment for 7 days to allow for proper calibration. We did exactly that and it seems to be working just fine.Overall highly recommended if you want a comprehensive view of the quality of the air you are breathing inside your home. I am hoping 5 years from now Indoor Air Quality equipment will be required, as smoke detectors are today.

Needs the hub to be Alexa compatible.
It works BUT in order to make it Alexa compatible you need the Hub.

Works great.
Saw the mix of reviews, and Amazon sometimes weirdly groups reviews across products. This is for a Wave plus (gen 2) received in Feb 2021.Works great overall. Unbox, pull battery tab, create account at airthings.com, install app on my Pixel 4XL, and it worked. They mention in the docs, apps, and website that the baseline can take up to 7 days for accuracy. Note that this device will upload data to your phone through bluetooth (BLE actually) and your phone can upload to the cloud. But if you are not close to the device you can't read it. They have a github (github.com/airthings) if you want to pull data with a Raspberry Pi or similar, or buy the airthings hub (they have a package) which will upload for you via wifi. Do not buy this without A) just wanting to check occasionally from your phone physically close by B) buying the hub or C) planning on tinkering with a Raspberry Pi.My family had been sleeping more than usual, sometimes couldn't find the right word, etc.Part of the reason I bought the sensor is that I had also noticed the plastic on top of my water heater had been melting. Further investigation let to me noticing the water heater exhaust got quite hot when the furnace was on. Turns out hail damage had blocked my furnace exhaust and the exhaust was pumping into my basement (via the water heater exhaust) and the pressure was forcing the basement air (full of burned natural gas and radon) into my living space.Turns out I was getting CO2 readings in the 1500-2000 range which can cause drowsiness, and I only recorded for one night, I suspect over the last months there might well have been higher readings, sometimes the family would sleep for 15 hours without being particularly behind on sleep.After I fixed the exhaust the numbers dropped quickly from the red, through the yellow, and into the green (see the attached picture). Similarly the radon dropped quickly as well.I just bought a new house and paid for a professional radon testing. It tested at 9.8, I bought two airthings and put one in the room with a sump pump and one just outside. They tested at 11 and 9 respectively, so that checks out. Keep in mind the radon sensors are slow to respond. I paid for mitigation of the sump room and was very pleased at the result, see graph.Recommended.Be careful out there and make sure your furnace (and anything else that burns natural gas) exhausts well. I also liked the notifications to open windows (CO2 or radon), hang laundry to dry instead of using a dryer (humidity under 25%), etc.
