It actually "auto-calibrates" itself weekly, which unfortunately isn't up to standards of the Aranet4 device for example. If you need CO2 detection, I recommend people get an Aranet4. They are (in my opinion) the gold standard for CO2 monitoring that I've tested so far.
Is the website served off the device or does AirGradient have access to all your data? And the website is served non-locally? So what happens when AirGradient goes away, how do you get your data then?
You can use their website (I do) or you can put it through HomeAssistant. This way, if AirGradient goes away, I believe everything will still work. As far as I know, YOU own your data, unlike other companies. But for ease of use and default, it's hosted on their side and yes they have access to see it. How do I know? I had an issue recently with mine and they were checking it for me once I gave them the Serial Number. But again, this is my choice, I don't want to set up HomeAssistant and I like their free interface.
@@shawn1869 I have the Airthings device and it depends what you’re trying to measure. CO2? Get an Aranet4. Radon? Airthings is fine and so is EcoQube. Particles? Air gradient is good and so is Airthings. FYI our outdoor air gradient appears to have broken. Waiting to see if air gradient sends a new one or what they’re gonna do.
16% of the Amazon reviews for Air Things say the units break after several months. I usually pay attention to those reviews because fake positive reviews often give a false sense of reassurance. I'm still trying to find an air quality monitor that is both affordable and doesn't break. Even $200 is a lot of money if the thing doesn't last but 3 months.
@@YTSparty After using the AirThings for a while now it's definitely not my favorite. My favorite Air Quality Monitors are #1 Aranet. They make the absolute BEST Co2 monitors, and I am testing their Radon and Radiation monitors right now, review will be up soon. They're awesome. Next #2 would probably be AirGradient. Mostly good, underwhelmed with their CO2 monitoring but the rest is decent. Do have an issue right now with the outdoor unit but working on it. Next would be AirThings, and lastly would be IQ Air, absolutely hated that device (review on channel). You can check our channel for tons of different reviews on these things.
@@Slimothy It doesn't look like the Aranet monitors detect particles. Airgradient does. Fine particles from outside pollution, smoke and dust is my main concern. As an allergy and asthma sufferer, this is what causes me problems, it's always what we can remove from the air with filters.

I understand from other reviewers that you can recalibrate the CO2 sensor yourself. Have you tried this yet? I would be very interested.

Did you try the Air-1 from Apollo?
@@NicksStuff Not yet, they haven’t reached out to us. If they do we can likely review it though!
