Airthings 2950 Wave Radon vs Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium

Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium wins the overall comparison with its higher owner rating, dual-band Wi-Fi, 4-inch color touchscreen, broader sensor set and support for every major smart home platform. The Airthings 2950 Wave Radon holds the edge on warranty and alerts, and it is the only one of the two that measures radon.

They are different kinds of products. The Ecobee is a wall-mounted, wired smart thermostat that also monitors VOCs, CO2, temperature, humidity and occupancy and can act on that data by running your HVAC. The Airthings is a portable, battery-powered radon monitor with temperature and humidity, and radon is something the Ecobee cannot detect.

No. Its built-in air quality monitor covers VOCs, CO2, temperature, humidity and occupancy, and it alerts you when air quality is poor. For radon you need a dedicated monitor like the Airthings 2950 Wave Radon, which tracks it continuously and keeps history in the Airthings app.

The Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium: it supports Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The Airthings 2950 Wave Radon covers Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT, but has no HomeKit or SmartThings support.

Choose Airthings 2950 Wave Radon if radon is your concern, for example in a basement or radon-prone area, or to verify a mitigation system. It runs on batteries so placement is flexible, sends temperature, humidity, air quality and low battery alerts, and carries a 5-year warranty.

Choose Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium if you want one wired wall unit that manages heating and cooling while watching VOCs, CO2, occupancy, temperature and humidity, with a color touchscreen and the widest platform support. It replaces your thermostat rather than sitting on a shelf.
