Review: Useful information - The information provided by this monitor has been very useful during this worrisome time in Los Angeles. Review: Works as stated but PITA to setup with the app - It works well for its purpose but I just want to share my experience setting up the device once I got it. I currently live in Guam and they shipped the item to me with no problem. It actually came in earlier than expected. I am pretty tech savvy when it comes to gadgets but I got pretty frustrated setting up the device with the airthings app. Let me explain, I was setting up the app and I chose Guam as my country since I live in Guam. But then it won't let me finish the setup since my region is not supported. I checked on the website and it was stated on there that they only ship to regions that are supported by the product. They shipped it to me so I thought our region is good to go. It won't let you change your region once you started the setup process. I had to delete my account and create a new one. On my second try I went ahead and use United States as my region and it worked. It let me through all the way to connecting to my wifi but when I got to the part where I need to pair the device it won't connect to bluetooth. I did some troubleshooting and went into my bluetooth settings and forget device and setup bluetooth again and that worked. i was able to pair the device then entered the device ID and was able to set it up. When came to set it up as a hub it had a hard time connecting to my wifi network after a few tries and some more troubleshooting it finally connected to my wifi. It took a lot of trouble shooting on my part. So if you're new to this smart home tech stuff you might get frustrated like me. I just want to share this experience and hopefully it will be helpful to someone who will buy this item in the future. ## Features - INDOOR AIR QUALITY MONITOR: Stay in control of your indoor air quality and keep pollution out.

Unfortunately this is not easy since only one of my air filters has a digital readout that gives me a good idea of the air quality in that room. The other units I have give me little useful information other than when the filter needs to be changed. So I ordered this air pollution monitor from Airthings to allow me to take accurate measurements in each room of my house, so that I can determine where I need to focus my attention. So far it seems to be quite accurate, and it has really helped me decide where and when I should be using the air filters I have. You can customize the display to tell you which 2 out of 4 possible values you want to monitor. I have mine set to show me the PM 2.5 value and the humidity. If you look in the app you can see all values including the temperature and how the values have changed over time. The monitor can be powered either by 6 AA batteries (included) or with a USB-C cable (also included in the box). Since I move mine around from room to room often, I keep it on battery power. So far I am very happy with this monitor and would recommend it to anyone who cares about breathing cleaner air. It does exactly what I need and is making a difference in my family's overall health. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/412838580-view-pollution-pm2-5-air-quality-monitor-pm2-5-sensor](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/412838580-view-pollution-pm2-5-air-quality-monitor-pm2-5-sensor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
