Awair Element Air Quality Monitor, Indoor Air Pollution Sensor, CO2 Monitor, Temperature, PM2.5, VOCs, Real-Time Tracking, iOS/Android App, Comprehensive Home Air Monitoring for a Healthy Environment

I have had several of these units, some of them for many years. They have been working reliably. The unit looks sleek, can adjust its brightness depending on room conditions so won’t keep you awake annoying lights, and has a fan so it’s actually sampling the air properly. Awair provides an API that lets it connect to home automation systems such as Home Assistant, even if there is no Internet connection available. I have hundreds of her automation devices in my house, and this is one of the easiest to work with. The Awair works well and stores long history, and integration to other apps is possible via their local API. I sometimes wish that it detected a few more properties of air, but that would push the price up and the most important ones are already covered.

This has saved my sanity. You have chemicals in your dwelling but can't convince any else about it? Get this device, please. Analysis the air quality inside your home. Suddenly, you see and know what the problem is your air is; and hopefully Do something about it. Strongly recommend this device. Great after sales support too.👍

This would have been 5 stars but the integration with other apps such as IFTTT, Alexa, etc, has been withdrawn even though it still states on the website and the packaging that they are supported.

Awair Element is exactly what I was looking for. It appears to be very accurate and reactive - the metrics change almost immediately when you start cooking / vacuuming around it. The temperate reading is also very accurate. The app used to set it up also works perfectly fine. Contrary to some other commenters' experience I cannot hear the fan in my meter, it's completely silent.

So good I bought another one! You really have no idea how much air quality can impact your day until you start measuring and making changes. This is a really smart looking but more importantly functional device with a great app to back it up.

Pros: The device can be useful if you’re concerned about poor indoor air quality resulting from substandard home maintenance—for example, if you suspect that negligence in maintaining boilers or hiring unqualified service providers is compromising your living environment. Cons: The device cannot be started without an active internet connection and requires an iOS or Android device for initial setup. It only works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks, which may be considered outdated by some users. The sensor lifespan, potential degradation over time, and overall accuracy are not clearly specified. The recalibration function in the smartphone app does not work as expected. The device must be placed near a power outlet, limiting flexibility in choosing monitoring locations.

I purchased it for home automation to trigger my air filter, but unfortunately this product do not support Google home, alexa or IFFT. Which makes this product worthless comparing the cost. On the box they mentioned it supports Google and Alexa which is a miss selling with wrong information. Awair need to fix this issue.

Bought it hoping for it to work with WiFi / my phone / google home. Had issues connecting to google home, emailed their customer support who said they have now removed support for google home, even though the amazon listing says they support it
