Dissapointed
I own a fleet of the traditional Awairs which I love; they're accurate, provide great feedback, and are aesthetically pleasing. I had high hopes for the Awair Glow and figured they'd make great additions to my already decently sized collection of air monitoring products. Unfortunately, this line is inaccurate across all metrics leaving them useless for home monitoring or automation. I ordered three and had the following problems: 1) One device's CO2 measurements were roughly double the present CO2 numbers. 2) All devices' humidity measurements were off by 5-10%. 3) All devices' chemical measurements were off by 100-200 ppb. 4) All devices' temperature measurements were high by around 2-4 °F. To test this, I plugged all three into outlets that were no more than 3ft apart from each other and let them run undisturbed for a few days. Additionally, I had three traditional Awairs, one Ecobee 3, and one Ecobee sensor right next to them as control units. As expected, the control units were all within a reasonable margin of error from each other. Unfortunately, none of the Awair Glows were close. To be certain, I hard reset each device and reran the test. I got the same results. I’m dissapointed these didn’t work out because they really are attractive units with a solid build quality. Hopefully Awair brings things back around with their next iteration.
