Airthings Wave Plus vs GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor

The Airthings Wave Plus wins overall on the strength of its six-sensor spread (radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure), a longer warranty and broader smart home integrations. The GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor holds a higher owner rating, typically costs less, and includes a built-in screen.

Sensor coverage. The Airthings Wave Plus tracks radon, CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and air pressure, six readings in total. The GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor tracks PM2.5 particulates, temperature and humidity, three readings. The Wave Plus covers far more pollutants, but does not track PM2.5 particulates at all.

No. It has no built-in display and instead uses a wave-to-check light that shows a Good, Fair or Poor status in green, yellow or red, with full detail available in the app over Bluetooth. The GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor does have a built-in LED screen.

The Airthings Wave Plus works with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant and IFTTT. The GoveeLife Smart Air Quality Monitor works with Alexa and, via Bluetooth, with Home Assistant, a shorter list.

Choose it if you want one device covering radon alongside CO2, VOCs, temperature, humidity and pressure, backed by a longer warranty and wider smart home support. It suits anyone tracking long-term air quality trends or a radon mitigation system.

Choose it if PM2.5 particulates, temperature and humidity are what you care about, and you would rather pay less, get a higher owner rating and have a visible screen on the device itself.
