What the differences mean

Remote access

The Airthings 2989 View Radon is on Wi-Fi, so alerts reach you anywhere out of the box. The Aranet Radon Plus is Bluetooth only: remote access means Home Assistant with Bluetooth proxies, otherwise you read it with a phone nearby.

Battery life and power

The Aranet Radon Plus is rated for 7 years on two AA batteries. The Airthings 2989 View Radon gets 3 years from six AA cells, but it can also run from USB-C and skip batteries entirely.

Smart home

The Airthings 2989 View Radon works with Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. The Aranet Radon Plus works with Home Assistant only, so voice assistant households lose the ability to ask for the radon level.

Warranty

Airthings covers the Airthings 2989 View Radon for 5 years, Aranet the Aranet Radon Plus for 2.
