Airthings 2950 Wave Radon vs Aranet Radon Plus

Aranet Radon Plus comes out ahead: it earns a higher owner rating, lasts around 7 years per set of AA batteries, displays readings on an e-ink screen, and also measures atmospheric pressure. Airthings 2950 Wave Radon remains attractive for its lower price, 5-year warranty and wider platform support.

The readout and upkeep. The Aranet Radon Plus has an always-on e-ink display and a battery rated for about 7 years, so it just sits there showing radon levels. The Airthings 2950 Wave Radon has no screen, using a wave-activated color ring and the app instead, and its batteries last roughly 1.5 years.

The Airthings 2950 Wave Radon, by far: it supports Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT, and can connect to an Airthings Hub over SmartLink for continuous online data. The Aranet Radon Plus integrates with Home Assistant only, with no Wi-Fi or cloud sync of its own.

The Airthings 2950 Wave Radon carries a 5-year warranty, while the Aranet Radon Plus is covered for 2 years. Both are battery-powered Bluetooth radon monitors that also track temperature and humidity.

Choose Airthings 2950 Wave Radon if you want a more affordable continuous radon monitor, care about the longer 5-year warranty, or want radon data flowing into Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant or IFTTT, optionally around the clock through an Airthings Hub.

Choose Aranet Radon Plus if you want a top-rated radon monitor with a readable e-ink display, years of battery life and an added pressure sensor, and you either use Home Assistant or are happy checking the display and Bluetooth app. It is the stronger pure radon instrument of the two.
