Works as stated but PITA to setup with the app
It works well for its purpose but I just want to share my experience setting up the device once I got it. I currently live in Guam and they shipped the item to me with no problem. It actually came in earlier than expected. I am pretty tech savvy when it comes to gadgets but I got pretty frustrated setting up the device with the airthings app. Let me explain, I was setting up the app and I chose Guam as my country since I live in Guam. But then it won’t let me finish the setup since my region is not supported. I checked on the website and it was stated on there that they only ship to regions that are supported by the product. They shipped it to me so I thought our region is good to go. It won’t let you change your region once you started the setup process. I had to delete my account and create a new one. On my second try I went ahead and use United States as my region and it worked. It let me through all the way to connecting to my wifi but when I got to the part where I need to pair the device it won’t connect to bluetooth. I did some troubleshooting and went into my bluetooth settings and forget device and setup bluetooth again and that worked. i was able to pair the device then entered the device ID and was able to set it up. When came to set it up as a hub it had a hard time connecting to my wifi network after a few tries and some more troubleshooting it finally connected to my wifi. It took a lot of trouble shooting on my part. So if you’re new to this smart home tech stuff you might get frustrated like me. I just want to share this experience and hopefully it will be helpful to someone who will buy this item in the future.

Great pollution (CO2 and VOC) detector, with room to improve software
The AirThings 2980 is a great air pollution and indoor air quality detector. If you are looking for something “that just works” and has “remote monitoring” capabilities – this is the product for you.As a nice bonus, it will display the indoor temperature, humidity, and optionally outdoor weather/temperature (with a caveat here – the outdoor information simply does not refresh timely to be reliable – see bellow for information on this.)The primary detection for the 2980 is CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and VOC (volatile organic compounds) with PM 2.5 (Particulate Matter) — the 2.5 referring to the microns of tiny droplets, which are about 30 times smaller than human hair. In layman terms, it is air pollution from things like cars/exhausts/flames+fires and other toxins (ie: frying pans emitting gasses, chemicals from paints, seals, etc) that cause health problems with long term exposure. This includes everything fromThe product works by detecting PM at 2.5 microns, and displaying the value on the screen, along with optionally displaying the indoor temperature, indoor humidity, and outdoor weather+temperature. The device also has a “near field” motion sensor, which triggers as you wave in front of it in order to display a an easy to understand visual “red”, “yellow” or “green” color, so that you can easily tell the quality of the air (see screenshot for chart). This summarizes as anything less than 10 uq/m3 (microns) is “green”, and between 10-25 is “yellow”, and above 25 is “red”.In terms of the Hardware itself – it is nearly perfect. It detects and updates the pollution very accurately and in semi-real time. The main point here is that you don’t care about any specific “point in time”, but in the overall longer term exposure. The e-ink display is very well executed, and is both battery efficient and bright/clear to read. The device also supports both battery operation (on six AAs) or via USB-C — which also turns it into a “hub” for other Airthings devices.Where the device could use some more work is on the software. There are two aspects to this:The first is the “firmware” essentially. Specifically, the device connects to your wifi to both upload the data to the app and to pull the weather/outdoor temperature. The limitation here is that it is trying to conserve power and thus the outdoor temperature and weather is wildly delayed and thus inaccurate. To the point that after 3 days I decided to turn off the display all together.The second is the “phone app” software. While the reviews do not reflect this, the app (iOS at least) is actually good. While not perfect, and it does lack a few small things, it is far better than most IOT/OT type devices (doors, windows, sensors, etc). The app gives you at a glance your devices, and when you select it, you are given a quick view of PM, indoor humidity, and indoor temperature. The app allows you to customize the “firmware” portion of how things are displayed, but showing 2 values at any given time (ex: PM and Indoor temperature; or PM and Indoor Humidity; or Indoor Temperature and Indoor Humidity). When you “swipe” in the air in front of the device to trigger the proximity sensor, it will always show you the PM value and the red/yellow/green color. The App also provides historical data in charts. From what I saw, the company does seem to offer an API and they do have an official GitHub API integration repository, with examples in Node and Python.Overall, I am very happy with the devices, and I would very much recommend this as a solution for anyone looking to get both accurate readings and a way to get this information “remotely”.

Very accurate and useful for improving your indoor air quality
I own several air filters that I have placed in various parts of my home, but I don’t run them all the time because I’m trying the make the replaceable filters last longer, and I also want to focus on cleaning the rooms where my family spends most of their time or the rooms that have the poorest air quality. Unfortunately this is not easy since only one of my air filters has a digital readout that gives me a good idea of the air quality in that room. The other units I have give me little useful information other than when the filter needs to be changed. So I ordered this air pollution monitor from Airthings to allow me to take accurate measurements in each room of my house, so that I can determine where I need to focus my attention. So far it seems to be quite accurate, and it has really helped me decide where and when I should be using the air filters I have. You can customize the display to tell you which 2 out of 4 possible values you want to monitor. I have mine set to show me the PM 2.5 value and the humidity. If you look in the app you can see all values including the temperature and how the values have changed over time. The monitor can be powered either by 6 AA batteries (included) or with a USB-C cable (also included in the box). Since I move mine around from room to room often, I keep it on battery power. So far I am very happy with this monitor and would recommend it to anyone who cares about breathing cleaner air. It does exactly what I need and is making a difference in my family’s overall health.

Product included 6 dead batteries
It’s a good product, but the device came fully loaded with batteries and a message to replace them. It’s one thing to not include batteries, but basically saying “here, you throw this out” is insulting.

Ich besitze mehrere Luftfilter, die ich an verschiedenen Stellen in meiner Wohnung angebracht habe, aber ich lasse sie nicht ständig laufen, weil ich versuche, die Lebensdauer der austauschbaren Filter zu verlängern, und ich möchte mich auch auf die Reinigung der Räume konzentrieren, in denen meine Familie die meiste Zeit verbringt oder die die schlechteste Luftqualität haben.Leider ist das nicht so einfach, da nur einer meiner Luftfilter eine digitale Anzeige hat, die mir einen guten Überblick über die Luftqualität in diesem Raum gibt. Die anderen Geräte, die ich besitze, geben mir kaum nützliche Informationen, außer dass sie anzeigen, wann der Filter gewechselt werden muss. Also habe ich dieses Luftverschmutzungsmessgerät von Airthings bestellt, um in jedem Raum meines Hauses genaue Messungen vornehmen zu können, so dass ich feststellen kann, worauf ich mich konzentrieren muss. Bisher scheint das Gerät recht genau zu sein, und es hat mir wirklich geholfen zu entscheiden, wo und wann ich meine Luftfilter einsetzen sollte.Man kann das Display so einstellen, dass es anzeigt, welche 2 von 4 möglichen Werten man überwachen möchte. Ich habe mein Gerät so eingestellt, dass es mir den PM 2,5-Wert und die Luftfeuchtigkeit anzeigt. Wenn man in der App nachschaut, kann man alle Werte einschließlich der Temperatur sehen und wie sich die Werte im Laufe der Zeit verändert haben. Der Monitor kann entweder mit 6 AA-Batterien (im Lieferumfang enthalten) oder mit einem USB-C-Kabel (ebenfalls im Lieferumfang enthalten) betrieben werden.Da ich meinen Monitor oft von Raum zu Raum bewege, betreibe ich ihn mit Batterien. Bis jetzt bin ich sehr zufrieden mit diesem Monitor und würde ihn jedem empfehlen, dem es wichtig ist, sauberere Luft zu atmen. Es tut genau das, was ich brauche, und es macht einen Unterschied für die allgemeine Gesundheit meiner Familie.

Provides real time data on items such as humidity and fine particles (PM2.5 and PM1). It is surprisingly insightful. I now see fine particles going up a bit during vacuuming, but shooting up in the graph when we opened a window in the morning. The reporting is constant and realtime. Awesome tool. If you are asthmatic, or just generally concerned about your indoor climate: order it.

Feinstaub ist in letzter Zeit in aller Munde (leider auch im wahrsten Sinne). Wer an verkehrsreichen Straßen wohnt oder wie ich einfach ein absoluter Meßgeräte-Fan ist (das Physikstudium wirkt da nach), der braucht ein solches Gerät.Das Airthings Gerät ist hochwertig designed und wird auf Apple-Niveau hübsch verpackt geliefert. Es zeigt den Feinstaub (PM 2.5), Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit an. Es wird über Bluetooth ins heimische WLAN eingebunden.Was mir gefällt+ Man hat schnell einen Blick auf den Feinstaub, es tut seinen Kernjob+ Problemlose Einbindung ins WLAN über die App+ In der App diverse Anzeigemöglichkeiten+ Gute Ablesbarkeit des Display (ist wie beim Kindle so ein Paperwhite Display)+ Es zeigt einfach die Qualität der Luft über LED (grün, gelb, rot) sowie einen Text an, wenn man mit der Hand nah über das Gerät “winkt”Aber leider fallen mir diverse Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten ein- Die Anzeige lässt sich konfigurieren, aber nicht alle drei Meßwerte anzeigen (Platz wäre ja da)- Die App ist ok, aber so richtig optimiert ist sie nicht- Man muss für die Diagramme (Verlauf Feinstaub) auf die Weboverfläche aus der App wechseln- Per Wink-Bewegung wird ein aktueller Meßwert genommen. Geht, aber man man muss was drüberstreicheln. Ein einfacher Knopf hätte es auch getan- Alexa Einbindung geht, wird aber nirgends erwähnt- Batteriebetrieb finde ich nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Für den Preis sollte ein Akku verbaut sein.- Der Preis ist mit € 200 einfach zu hoch, man bekommt solche Meßgeräte ohne WLAN Einbindung schon für knapp die Hälfte. So teuer kann die weitere Technik wohl nicht seinNoch etwas zur Alexa-EinbindungMan kann den Airthings Skill laden und aktivieren, dann kann man die Feinstaubwerte auch über Alexa abfragen. Allerdings habe ich nirgends einen Hinweis darauf gefunden in der Artikelbeschreibung oder dem Mini-Handbuch. Nur unten auf der Verpackung steht das Alexa-Logo. Das geht besser. Da ich in unserem Haus diverse Echos/Alexas betreibe, ist das für mich eine wichtige Funktion.Insgesamt vergebe ich für das vorliegende Gerät damit mittelmäßige drei Sterne ⭐⭐⭐. Ich setze das Gerät ein, wäre aber aufgrund der Verbesserungspunkte nicht bereit gewesen, für das Gerät € 200 zu bezahlen. Wer mit Feinstaub lokal hohe Probleme hat und sein Lüftungsverhalten danach richten will, für den ist auch der Preis sicher kein Hindernis. Funktional gesehen kann es das, was es verspricht.Ich hoffe, meine Bewertung war hilfreich für Sie 😊
