Qingping Air Quality Monitor Gen 2, Air Quality Monitor Indoor Detects PM2.5, CO2, PM10, Noise, Temperature and Humidity, New Upgraded Alarm Clock Function, Air Quality Tester for Bedroom, Smart Home

Unquestionably better than airthings. Wow. If you’re trying to decide this is amazingly better in so many ways (except lacking radon). The display is awesome and functional and easy. It has alarms, it has air quality and weather and beautiful time clock. The settings are so easy to set up. The cartridge loads in back and is zero noise. And it turns off the screen during sleep hours. It’s very accurate and updates frequently. It’s easy and nice looking to be able to keep it plugged in, and can simply sit on a table or shelf. Beautiful design. Perfect for by the living room or bedroom.

This is a great air quality sensor. I purchased one before my trip and used it on the trip and found it to be very accurate. If I spray some hand sanitizer in about a minute, then the VOC will start beeping.You can set an alert for a threshold for the different air quality categories, which is very handy and then you can tap a button to stop it.One time at night time the CO2 levels got high, so it beeped and so I knew that I needed to open a window. That only happened one time. It has a touchscreen which is really nice and it’s really easy to use right out of the box. The battery lasts probably three or four hours so I usually keep it plugged in and during the day I turn it off which I believe can save the life of the product because when I’m not home, I don’t really need it on so. It has this cartridge that you put in in the back and I’m pretty sure that probably has a life expectancy of that cartridge. Not sure how long it lasts, but I think turning it off during the day when you’re not home can extend the life of the product.It’s easy to turn it off just push and hold the button on the top and you can either reboot it or turn it offWhen I got back from my trip, I purchased another one for the home.You can also program it so the screen turns off between a certain time like when you’re sleeping, but it will still work while you’re sleeping.If you’re concerned about connecting it to your Wi-Fi, then you could just set up a guest network temporarily just so it can do a firmware update which will happen when you get it new out of the box and then it will set the timeAfter that, you can turn off the Wi-Fi really easily in the settings if you don’t want it connected to the Wi-Fi

This is a really nice air quality monitor. It feels sturdy and of good quality. So far, it’s accurate with our air purifier readings. Easy to initially set up, basically, plug in with your own power cube (cable included but no power source), turn it on, and it goes into sensing almost immediately. The manual is rather vague and gives no real details like how to change time to 12H, Temp from Celsius to Fahrenheit, etc. Some Googling did not help much, but exploring the screens and settings finally got me past that hump without any help from the manual. Speaking of the manual, it’s mostly in Chinese. Some information in back section in English. I would not suggest the QR Code for App in manual!!!!!. It’s terrible, tries to get you to onboard all home automation (which I was not going to do for this Chinese Company) and initially would not work except for in Chinese. Finally found the app to use from Amazon info. As “Qingping+”. That helped a lot. Able to check and change information for units by app or on the units very nice, sharp, and nice looking screens. Touch screen works beautifully.

What a disappointment. This is a very attractive device with a very clean interface, an overall clean aesthetic. It's a pleasure to interact with. We were looking forward to having this for many years to better understand our indoor air quality, but it failed in less than a week. Based on other reviews, which I should have considered first, this company needs to up its quality control and build to last. This is the nicest looking monitor I found on the market, and the readings seem accurate, but what good is that if it's not reliable. Ours seems to have been a power management issue as it started to turn off randomly. At first we could get it to turn on by unplugging it and plugging it back in, and finally would not turn on at all, all in the period of a week. Fortunately it was returnable through Amazon so I don't know if they have good customer service or if they would have fixed it. I want to buy another one but not worth the risk.

My family has been struggling with some confusing health issues and has been feeling quite sick often for seemingly no reason. An asthma and dust allergy diagnosis prompted us to do more research into air quality and it quickly became clear that poor air is causing many of our issues. I did a great deal of research and settled on this air monitor based on reviews, specs, cost, smart capability, and app quality. It arrived quickly and I set it up immediately. I was astonished to see that the measurements were extremely high for the three main things this monitor measures. Particulate Matter, tVOCs, and Carbon Dioxide were in the danger zone and we learned that our old apartment doesn't have proper ventilation.This product gave us the information we needed to know to address our health issues. Now we open the windows everyday and use fans and air purifiers to move the air around. This doesn't solve the issue, but does address it daily. I found the display to be simple, intuitive, and easy to read. I also use it as a dim nightlight by adjusting the settings, which is just perfect. The free app works well and gives me the ability to check on things from anywhere. We are not currently using it as part of a smart system, but I am glad that we have that option.The only thing I would like to see changed is the notifications for humidity or temperature. I keep my house a little chilly and the device tells me to turn on the heater at 72F, which is just an unnecessary message. The same is for the humidity, although that makes more sense since it does directly affect air quality. I would prefer to set parameters instead!
