Airthings monitors indicate good/fair and bad air quality with a light color.

The Wave Plus

GREEN: All sensors indicate good air quality πŸ˜€

YELLOW: One or more sensors indicate fair air quality 😐

RED: One or more sensors indicate poor air quality 😣

Temperature does not affect the color of the light

Simply move your hand in front of the device and the ring lights up with the corresponding color.

The Space Pro (formerly known as β€œView Plus”)

Good levels 🟒

If you wave across the display and all sensors are within "good" levels, you will see "Your Air is Good 😊" and a green light:

Average 🟠or Poor πŸ”΄ levels

If a sensor breaches one of the thresholds below, you will see a black notification dot at the top of the display on your Space Pro monitor, indicating one or more sensors has entered into "average" or "poor" air quality levels:

Simply wave across the display to view which sensor has breached a threshold. A yellow or red light will show above the display to indicate whether levels are "fair" or "poor". If more than one sensor has average or poor levels, the screen will automatically cycle to show you the rest of the sensors.

NOTE: Temperature threshold breaches are not taken into consideration and do not influence the color of the Space Pro monitor. However, you will see a small color dot beside temperature in the app if the temperature is above or below the recommended threshold.
