Airthings Wave Plus vs Aranet Radiation

The Airthings Wave Plus wins overall on warranty, connectivity, integrations, sensors and alerts, thanks to its six-sensor suite covering radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure. The Aranet Radiation costs less, holds a higher owner rating and lasts longer on a battery, but measures a different hazard.

Scope. The Airthings Wave Plus packs six sensors, radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure, into one unit. The Aranet Radiation focuses on a single hazard, ionizing radiation dose rate and total dose, and has none of the Wave Plus's other sensors.

No. Despite its broad six-sensor suite, it has no ionizing-radiation sensor. Anyone who wants radiation monitoring specifically needs a dedicated device like the Aranet Radiation.

No, both connect over Bluetooth only. The Airthings Wave Plus needs an Airthings hub for continuous, remote data, and the Aranet Radiation relies on Home Assistant for anything beyond checking the app nearby.

Choose it if you want one device covering radon alongside CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure, with support for Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT.

Choose it only if background ionizing radiation, not radon or general air quality, is what you want to monitor continuously. Its lower price, higher owner rating and longer battery life do not extend to any of the Wave Plus's six sensors.
