FAQs

How often does the Wave Mini take readings?

The Airthings Wave Mini takes readings every 5 minutes and stores them. Data is synced to the app via Bluetooth when within range.

What is a VOC and why is it important to monitor?

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) are gases emitted from various household products like paints, cleaning supplies, and furniture. High levels can cause headaches, nausea, and long-term health effects. Monitoring VOCs helps identify sources and improve ventilation.

Do I need an Airthings Hub for the Wave Mini to work?

No, the Wave Mini can function independently and sync data to your phone via Bluetooth. However, an Airthings Hub or View series monitor is required for Wi-Fi connectivity, remote access, and long-term data storage.

How long do the batteries last?

The included AA batteries typically last for about 14 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Can I see historical data with just the Wave Mini and the app?

You can see trends and recent data directly in the app. For comprehensive historical data analysis and long-term storage, an Airthings Hub or View series monitor is recommended.

What does the color indicator mean?

The color indicator provides a quick visual cue: Blue indicates good air quality, Yellow indicates moderate, and Red indicates poor air quality. The specific thresholds are configurable in the app.

Does the Wave Mini measure CO2 levels?

No, the Airthings Wave Mini measures VOCs, humidity, and temperature. It does not measure CO2 levels. For CO2 monitoring, consider other Airthings models like the Airthings View Plus.

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device. Move your mobile device closer to the Wave Mini. Restart both your mobile device and the Wave Mini (by removing and reinserting batteries).
