2950 Wave Radon - Smart Radon Detector with Humidity & Temperature Sensor – Easy-to-Use – Accurate – No Lab Fees – Battery Operated - Free App

The Airthings 2950 Wave Radon is a great investment for monitoring indoor radon levels. It’s easy to install—just place it in the desired location, sync it with the app, and start tracking. No complicated setup or wiring needed. The device seems fairly accurate, providing both short-term and long-term radon readings. While no consumer-grade monitor can replace professional lab testing, the results have been consistent and responsive to changes in ventilation and weather conditions. The app is user-friendly, displaying clear data trends and sending alerts if levels get too high. The wave-to-check feature is a nice touch—just wave your hand over the device to get an instant status update via a simple color-coded LED light. Battery life is solid, and the Bluetooth connectivity works well. Overall, this is a reliable, well-designed radon monitor that offers peace of mind without the hassle of constant manual testing. Highly recommended for homeowners looking for an easy way to keep an eye on radon levels!

I’m really happy with this sensor. It works well, ties into Home Assistant without any hassle, and you don’t need the app if you’re using it that way. Setup was easy, and the readings were accurate enough to show me that I actually needed to start mitigation. It’s been a great addition to my smart home.

I've had a home office in the basement for years, but due to Covid found myself spending more time down there than ever. A month or two into lockdown I seemed to be having shortness of breath issues and thought for a while that my mind was just playing tricks on me, "do I have the sickness..."? Well, I let that go for a while and when it didn't get better I did some research and decided to check my radon levels. I started with a mail in 3 day charcoal kit which came back somewhere in the low 4 range, not great, not terrible either since 4 is the recommended max level. Finding out that radon can vary over time, I decided to buy the Airthings Radon sensor. Overall, setup was quick, I agree the bluetooth design is a little annoying, but I've never had an issue syncing as long as I was in the normal 30foot range that bluetooth has. It doesn't sync in the background, only when you open the app. A WiFi option would be nice, but that would require a power cord, and I did appreciate that I could move this device around to several locations in the house which was easy with it being on batteries. Accuracy: After the 48 hour "acclimation" period, I saw the reported radon levels come right into line with the lab report. Then it kept climbing, then it dropped to almost nothing back in the green range, then back to red. Over and over every 2-3 days I'd be green, red, green, red, and I started to wonder if it was just a gimmick to make it look like it was doing something. It did seem to change with weather, but I could never put my finger on a pattern as the weather is always changing. Then I moved it from the basement to the main level for a few months, and the average was slightly lower, but I still bounced between acceptable and unacceptable levels. Finally, somewhere in the process I got actual Covid, got over it, and felt pretty much the same as before but I started to notice I felt better when I wasn't at home. We traveled for Christmas and had a vacation or two since someone has to keep the economy going... So I finally decided to install a radon fan on the passive pipe which was installed on our house during construction as required by code these days. The Airthings device had no way of knowing I just installed a fan, but it clearly picked up on the environmental change. In the screenshot you can see the radon level fall off a cliff and flatline in the green. In short, I no longer question if it was actually measuring anything, this thing works! I was surprised by the variability in radon levels over time, and I'd recommend anyone who's concerned to get a sensor like this. Go ahead and get a lab test as well just to confirm the sensor is good any working, but I do think there's a delay between your radon level and when it shows up on the sensor. This is surely why they tell you to wait 48 hours after setup before looking at the reading. I tried many times to open a window in my office when it turned red and never saw a blast of fresh air to make a difference. I'm not a physistist, but the sensor probably takes time to absorb or react to the radon, so let it sit and watch the trending over time. It's only been a week since installing the fan, and maybe my brain is giving my lungs a placebo effect, but I feel like it's made a difference.

We've been using the Airthings 2950 in our home, and it has worked well for monitoring radon levels. The readings do fluctuate, so we're not entirely sure about the device's accuracy, but the levels were definitely high enough to warrant a mitigation system. After installation, we saw a sharp drop-off in the readings, which has been reassuring. Overall, this device has been a useful tool for understanding our home's radon levels.

The report from a single use radon test included a recommendation for long term monitoring. This device accomplished that and showed how levels change over time. It is easy to set up and the app to read the unit gets 5 stars also.

My fiancée was doing some tidying in the basement at our house and noticed the red ring. She was not familiar with the device, but texted me to let me know about the indicator light. When I got home, I again saw the red ring and connected to my phone via the app and it showed the radon level as high. We have a radon mitigation system, so this was concerning. Upon investigation, the power had been turned off to the radon fan during an internet install a few days prior. Once I turned it back on, the levels kept dropping according to the Airthings app, until we were back down to baseline. This showed that 1) The initial inspection for our home which showed radon was correct; 2) The Airthings Radon detector worked as expected to notify us of elevated radon levels; and 3) The radon mitigation system works! Very pleased all around

All seems to be going well at the moment and getting different readings if you’re in an area that recommends Testing it’s one way to monitor the levels in your house. Peace of mind.

Ottimo strumento, permette di seguire il livello del Radon quasi in tempo reale. Si possono controllare tutte le oscillazioni nel tempo e nello spazio e vedere l'effetto dei provvedimenti presi per ridurre la radioattività o vedere come variano i livelli da stanza a stanza.

My Experience Using This Product I purchased the Airthings Wave Radon detector because I wanted peace of mind about indoor air quality, especially radon levels in my basement. Setup was simple—insert the batteries, download the app, and pair the device via Bluetooth. The LED ring indicator is a nice touch; a quick wave in front of the device gives an instant color-coded reading (green for safe, yellow for caution, red for high levels). Advantages Accurate Monitoring: After a few days of calibration, the readings stabilized and matched what I expected based on local radon maps. It updates regularly and provides long-term trends, which is essential for radon monitoring. Extra Sensors: The humidity and temperature readings are a bonus. I used this data to adjust my dehumidifier settings in the basement, which helped reduce moisture and improve air quality. No Lab Fees or Hassle: Unlike traditional radon tests that require mailing samples to a lab, this device gives continuous readings without extra costs. App Integration: The Airthings app is intuitive and shows daily, weekly, and monthly averages. I set up alerts so I’d know if radon levels spiked. Where It Was Useful Basement Monitoring: I placed it in the basement where radon risk is highest. The device helped me confirm that levels were safe most of the time, but I did notice slight increases during winter when ventilation was reduced. Home Office: I temporarily moved it to my office to check humidity and temperature trends. It helped me maintain a comfortable environment for work. Seasonal Changes: During colder months, the readings showed higher radon levels, prompting me to improve airflow by opening vents. Overall Opinion The Airthings Wave Radon detector is an excellent investment for anyone concerned about indoor air quality and radon exposure. It’s easy to use, accurate, and provides valuable insights without the hassle of lab tests. The added humidity and temperature sensors make it even more useful for maintaining a healthy home environment.

works very well, nice app, my phone can connect to bluetooth from across the house.
