Airthings Wave Plus works with iOS and Android phones through Bluetooth, Airthings View series devices, the Airthings Hub, and Alexa. That list covers most home setups, but each connection does a different job.
A phone gives nearby detail, the Hub supports remote access, and Alexa fits into a voice controlled routine.
Without a Hub, you can still use the device visual wave indication and nearby phone connection. Waving in front of the monitor gives a color coded status at a glance.
That is handy for a quick check when you walk past it in the room where it is installed.
The Hub is the important option for remote monitoring. Bluetooth only reaches a phone close to the monitor, which limits how you can check readings when you are elsewhere in the home or away.
If remote access matters, plan for the Hub from the start rather than adding it later.
The Airthings 2930 Wave Plus measures radon, CO2, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure. Continuous measuring matters here because radon levels fluctuate daily and indoor air changes through the day.
Six factors in one small monitor give a fuller picture than a radon only device.
It uses 2 AA batteries and has an average battery life of 1.5 years. Battery power means you can place it without hunting for an outlet nearby.
It also means you should factor battery changes into your routine, even though the interval is long for everyday use.
The box includes the monitor, batteries, Quick Start Guide, and Airthings Support. That gives you what you need to set it up and connect it through the Airthings App.
Allow for a 7 day settling period so the sensors can adjust to their new environment before you judge the readings.
This combination suits people who want ongoing indoor air visibility without a cord. It also suits homes where different occupants want to check the same readings in different ways.
A phone, a compatible Airthings device, or Alexa can each play a part depending on how you live in the space.
Which devices are compatible with Airthings Wave Plus?
The main Airthings Wave Plus compatibility connections are a smartphone, Airthings View series devices, the Airthings Hub, and Alexa. These connections serve different jobs, so choosing the right setup depends on whether you want nearby readings, room to room visibility, or remote access.
It also depends on whether you want quick local status or detailed app based history.
A smartphone connects through Bluetooth to the Airthings App. That suits iOS and Android users who want to review readings while near the monitor.
The app gives detailed insights into radon, CO2, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure.
The Wave Plus also gives a color coded visual indication when you wave in front of it. That means you can get a quick status without opening the app or taking out your phone.
It is a simple local check for anyone who passes the monitor through the day.
Airthings identifies View series devices as compatible. The Hub and Alexa are also listed as compatible devices, but each may serve a different role in your wider home setup.
A View device may suit a second location, while the Hub supports remote monitoring and an online dashboard.
Alexa compatibility may fit a home where voice control is already part of the routine. The available information does not describe every command or routine, so think about the exact function you want.
Compatibility alone does not replace the sensors, the app, or the Hub connection.

Does Wave Plus work with iPhone and Android phones?
Yes, Wave Plus works with iOS and Android smartphones through Bluetooth. The Airthings App provides detailed insights into the monitor's readings, while the device itself gives a color-coded visual indication.
Bluetooth is best understood as a nearby connection. You need to be close enough for the phone to communicate with the monitor, so it is useful for checking readings during a visit to the room where Wave Plus is installed.
The Wave Plus measures six indoor air factors: radon, CO2, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure. It is designed for continuous long-term measuring because radon levels can change from day to day.
The Airthings Corentium Home Radon Detector 223 Portable is a different choice for readers who want a standalone screen. It is a black, 1 in deep by 2.7 in wide by 4.7 in high radon detector with a radon sensor and 3 AAA batteries, and its screen shows short-term and long-term readings.
The Corentium Home is not presented as a Wave Plus accessory or compatible device. Choose it when direct readings on the detector matter more than connecting a six-factor monitor to the Airthings ecosystem.
Do you need an Airthings Hub for remote monitoring?
You need the Airthings Hub for the remote monitoring connection described with Wave Plus. A nearby phone can connect through Bluetooth, but the Hub is the relevant choice when you want data access without standing next to the monitor.
The Wave Plus product information lists the Airthings Hub as a compatible device and describes an online dashboard with advanced analytics. That makes the Hub a better fit for someone who wants to review readings while away from the room or home.
The Hub does not change what the Wave Plus measures. The monitor still uses its radon, CO2, TVOC, temperature, humidity, and air-pressure sensors, and its average battery life remains 1.5 years.
Before buying a Hub, decide what you actually need:
- Choose Bluetooth alone if you usually check readings while near the monitor.
- Consider a Hub if remote access is the main reason you want a connected monitor.
- Consider the View series if you want another compatible Airthings device in the same setup.
- Check the exact Hub and app requirements before installation, since compatibility does not describe every network or account step.
A Hub also adds another device to plan for, so it may be unnecessary for a single room where you regularly use your phone.
Can Wave Plus connect to Alexa?
Yes, Alexa is listed as compatible with Airthings Wave Plus. The available compatibility information does not specify every Alexa command, voice prompt, routine, or display behavior, so confirm the exact function you want before relying on it.
Alexa compatibility may suit a home where voice-controlled devices already form part of the daily routine. It does not replace the Wave Plus sensors, the Airthings App, or the Hub connection used for remote monitoring.
If your main goal is radon screening rather than connected air-quality tracking, the First Alert Radon Gas Test Kit, RD1 takes a different approach. It includes test materials and lab fees, excluding New Jersey state fees, and results are emailed within 72 hours of lab receipt.
The First Alert RD1 is recommended for use only within the United States. It is listed under the EPA radon gas measurement proficiency program, so it fits a one-time screening decision better than a smart-device compatibility plan.
The EPA radon information page explains why testing your home matters.
What role do Airthings View devices play?
Airthings View series devices are listed as compatible with Wave Plus. That means they can fit into an Airthings setup, but the available product information does not identify every View model or explain which readings appear on each device.
Wave Plus is the battery-powered monitor with radon, CO2, VOC, humidity, temperature, and air-pressure sensors. A View device may be useful when you want another compatible Airthings screen or room location, but confirm the exact model's functions before you plan the system.
The monitor measures 4.75 in wide by 4.75 in high and 1.4 in deep. It weighs 7.68 ounces, has a white enclosure, and operates below 85% humidity.
Airthings recommends allowing a 7-day settling period for the sensors to adjust to a new environment.
Use the device in the location where you want ongoing information. Moving it often can make room-to-room comparisons harder because readings reflect the monitor's current environment.
Which setup should you choose?
Choose Wave Plus with Bluetooth if you want a battery-powered monitor and usually check readings from nearby with an iOS or Android phone. The visual wave indication also gives you a quick local check.
Choose Wave Plus with a Hub if remote monitoring is the deciding feature. The Hub is the connection tied to remote access and the online dashboard, while the phone remains useful for app-based details.
Choose Wave Plus with compatible View devices if you want to build an Airthings setup across more than one device or location. Confirm the specific View model before ordering.
Choose Alexa compatibility only when you have a clear voice-control use in mind. Alexa is named as compatible, but the available information does not promise a particular command set.
If you are comparing the monitor itself with another Airthings model, read our Airthings Wave Plus review. If the device is already connected but not reporting as expected, use Airthings Wave Plus troubleshooting.
What should you check before buying?
Check your phone platform, your need for remote access, and the Airthings devices you already own. Bluetooth covers nearby phone access, while the Hub is the key choice for remote monitoring.
Also decide whether you need six indoor air measurements or only a radon result. Wave Plus measures radon, CO2, VOCs, humidity, temperature, and air pressure; the Corentium Home focuses on radon readings with a built-in screen; the First Alert RD1 is a lab-based test kit.
The best Airthings radon detector guide can help if you are comparing Airthings options rather than checking Wave Plus compatibility alone.
For most connected setups, choose Wave Plus when app access, compatible Airthings devices, Alexa, and possible Hub-based remote monitoring all matter. Choose the Corentium Home for a simpler standalone radon display, or the First Alert RD1 when an initial lab test is the better fit.
