Airthings View Pollution

View Pollution from Airthings is the most advanced indoor pollution monitor measuring PM2.5, humidity and temperature.

More and more people live in polluted cities, asthma symptoms and cases are rising, and wildfire seasons are lengthening. Particulate matter (PM) is the result of many global changes, and the smaller the particle, the deeper it can get into your body. How much PM is in your home? Understand you and your family’s exposure to particulate matter at home with the View Pollution from Airthings.

View Pollution allows you to keep your PM and humidity levels in the optimal zone to fight against asthma symptoms. If you live in a wildfire zone, measuring PM in your home is essential to understanding your exposure to smoke. Keep track of how much city pollution is making it into your home and if your air purifier is working.

All View series products are battery operated or use USB plug, wireless and WiFi-connected, work as a hub, include a customisable display, app (iOS/Android) and online dashboard with full data and reporting.

    Rep, why don't you set the price to $58 so shipping is free? Charging $48 when $50 is the threshold for free shipping is disingenuous.

      Happy to pay 2 to avoid shipping but does it really work? What % of accuracy does it offer? Any reviews or who actually use it in Australia? How can we buy without these information? Why don't you come again with all the information ready? Thanks

    $48 with free shipping (eBay plus) or $43 with monthly $5 voucher.

      Like comment above which is same product but better price, this "deal" is more like marketing gimmick. Rrp is a joke 😂

    Free shipping on Amazon too https://www.amazon.com.au/AirThings-2980-View-Pollution-Noti…

    But seems pretty expensive for something that doesn't monitor CO and doesn't integrate with Homekit

    Similar product from Ikea for $59 or a simpler version for $19 with the same PM 2.5 rating;

      The Airthings View has wifi for cloud logging, the Ikea one needs a hub. It can also run on batteries so you can place it anywhere.

        Hub? Zigbee is much better than wifi, for anyone doing smart-home stuff.
        Has better display, and VOC too.
        To measure PM, you need laser and fan, so not low power like temp/humid sensors. Using batteries is not a great choice - takes six of them!

        The $59 normal price, for a better device, shows how the RRP on Airthings is a joke.

        • eug on 14/08/2023 - 11:19

          Hub? Zigbee is much better than wifi, for anyone doing smart-home stuff.

          Yes. But not everyone wants to set up something like Home Assistant at home. For the rest of the world, they just want to plug something in and have it working right away.

          To measure PM, you need laser and fan, so not low power like temp/humid sensors. Using batteries is not a great choice - takes six of them!

          If you want to measure constantly, yes. But if you reduce the update frequency, the batteries will last longer. It gives you the option of putting it anywhere without needing to run a power cable.

          Six batteries is no problem with the collection of Ladda and Eneloops everyone has now.

    • bargainshooter on 06/09/2023 - 16:08

      The Ikea has been shown to be fairly inaccurate and doesn't appear to use a laser sensor: https://www.airgradient.com/blog/ikea-vindriktning-accuracy/

    PM 2.5 is mostly useless in Australia unless you are trying to monitor air quality from cooking food.

    You need a CO sensor.

      Unless it's bushfire season perhaps.

      • samfisher5986 on 14/08/2023 - 10:56

        Bushfire smoke is very visible, you could better spend your money on something like the Xiaomi Air Purifier which also measures PM2.5

          I love the way my air purifier kicks in every time I'm cooking, gotta love that charcoal taste.

          But it was great through bushfire season. My lungs could tell me the air quality was crap, the air purifier could do something about it.

        • bargainshooter on 06/09/2023 - 16:05

          Rubbish - pm2.5 levels can reach 100s without any smoke visible as is often noticed during "hazard reduction" burns 50km away. We had this occur only 4 weeks ago. Particulates can stay or be blown over in a cloud, the larger particles that make smoke visible can be blown in a different direction or scattered. I often see levels around 100ug/m3 when neighbours light up their wood fire heaters and there's no visible smoke near us.

  • JSONBourne on 14/08/2023 - 10:51

    What's a good CO sensor that integrates with Homekit?

  • djz on 14/08/2023 - 11:33

    I got excited then realised this thing runs on batteries and connects via wifi (so they wont last long!) and it’s very limited in detection ability. No Radeon, no VOC, no CO2, no CO, just PM and temperature and humidity.

    • eug on 14/08/2023 - 12:35

      I got excited then realised this thing runs on batteries and connects via wifi (so they wont last long!)

      There's a USB socket on the back if you want to run it off mains power. The update frequency is increased on USB power too.

      and it’s very limited in detection ability.

      Yeah, looks like they have a plus model that does everything else.

      No Radeon

      Yes you will need to buy AMD model

  • c9 on 14/08/2023 - 11:49

    Just RRP on eBay or amazon. Btw why pay $50 to monitor the air when paying $110 can get an air purifier that fix the problem?

  • GreenLego on 14/08/2023 - 11:57

    How about one of these?

      If you don't need a wifi-connected monitor that links with your phone and can send you air quality notifications, that could work. I do wonder about the accuracy of generic monitors though.

    • daft009 on 14/08/2023 - 13:04

      not saying this one but there are others that look very similar and just fudge the values

      I bought a couple of $40 and ripped them open and unplugged the sensor, it still showed "good" readings

  • Igaf on 14/08/2023 - 12:08

    @ bargaainhunter003 Has it been sold for RRP in recent weeks?

    If not you're breaking consumer law wrt misleading advertising, something EVERY retailer should know.

  • Jdm2me on 14/08/2023 - 12:37

    what sensor is best for house close to landfill?

  • umexcuseme on 14/08/2023 - 12:49

    Even at $58 this is overpriced.

  • navidm58 on 14/08/2023 - 13:20

    with the RRP you can buy an air purifier with a sensor. This device only has PM sensor. There are other devices on Amazon that can detect Formaldehyde/TVOC/CO2 in addition to PM and Temp/Humidity and retail for $40.

    This unit doesn't seem to monitor CO2 levels. CO2 (carbon dioxide) was the main thing we were concerned about especially during lockdown when everyone was WFH. Ended up getting a Netatmo unit and have been using it to monitor CO2 levels at home. We try to keep it under 1000ppm - when this level is exceeded (usually due to overcrowding - when guests come over), we get a notification pop-up on our phones and we ventilate the home a bit more by cracking the window open further.
