Monitor radon and other dangers in your living room and bedroom simultaneously

Start your indoor air quality journey with monitors that cover two of the rooms where you spend the most time at home. Enjoy broad visibility into your home's air quality in the comfort of your living room. Monitor your exposure to radon, as well as the concentration of particulates and gases, temperature, and humidity – all while spending time with your loved ones. With Wave Plus in your bedroom, you'll learn if your air is sufficiently ventilated and if other invisible factors might be affecting your sleep.

Set the easy-to-read and inobtrusive display to show the sensor readings you check most often. Runs cable-free on batteries for up to 2 years or plug it in - your choice. View Plus can act as an internet hub for your multiroom system to bring always-on access to your Wave monitors.

Check live readings, analyze trends using sophisticated graphs, configure notifications and get air quality tips. Check your live data anytime and receive timely air quality notifications wherever you are. Trigger home automation with IFTTT and use voice commands with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

Wave Plus also now available in new Limited Edition Black

Wave Plus (now in limited edition black) is the bluetooth-enabled, smart monitor with 6 sensors measuring radon, CO2, VOCs and more!

Good, healthy air quality is essential to getting restful sleep at night and being on top of your game during the day. High levels of CO2 in your air caused by insufficient ventilation weaken your ability to focus, make the best decisions, and perform to your potential. Stay in control of your home’s air quality with Airthings Wave Plus, an app-enabled indoor air monitor that measures 6 aspects of air quality including radon, carbon dioxide (CO2), and more.

It syncs live readings with the Airthings Wave app on your mobile device via Bluetooth. Set it on a surface or mount it on a wall, it's battery-powered so there are no messy cables.

About Airthings:

Established in 2008, Airthings is a global tech company led by a team of experienced scientists, engineers, developers and visionaries, with a common goal: to educate on the prevalence of radon, as well as other indoor air contaminants, and develop accessible technology solutions to help people stay healthy.

Every idea starts with a problem: radon testing for homeowners hasn’t improved in almost 30 years.

Several scientists working together at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) saw a gap in the radon market—or more like a deadlock. Traditionally, consumers only had two options: call a professional to test their radon levels, or purchase a single-use charcoal test which was then sent to a lab for the results.

We started Airthings to break free from these traditions and put consumers, as well as business owners back in control of their indoor air quality.

From there, we saw that there were other dangers hiding in the air we breathe, not only radon but other contaminants. We went to work researching these contaminants and finding ways that we could help not only consumers, but offices, schools and HVAC professionals make safer air quality decisions for the masses. We also saw that we could help with energy efficiency.
