Airthings View Plus

If you want the most complete picture of your home's air quality in a single device, the Airthings View Plus is in a category of its own. It measures seven different parameters — radon, PM2.5 (fine particulate matter), CO2, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure — and displays them all on a built-in color e-ink screen without requiring your phone.

For families dealing with allergies, asthma, or general health concerns, the PM2.5 and CO2 readings are particularly valuable. PM2.5 reveals whether cooking, candles, or outdoor pollution is affecting your indoor air. CO2 levels indicate whether a room is getting adequate ventilation — levels above 1,000 ppm in a bedroom or living room typically cause drowsiness and cognitive impairment even when you can't detect anything is wrong.

The device connects via Wi-Fi to the Airthings for Business dashboard (or the consumer app), where you can set custom alerts, view historical trends, and export data. The e-ink display updates regularly and is readable in any lighting without being an intrusive glowing screen.

For anyone who wants to understand and actively manage their home's air quality rather than just testing once, this is the system we'd choose first.
