Airthings are known for its air quality sensors, and today it has introduced its new Digital Radon Detector, Cantrum Home 2. Depending on where you live, you may or may not be aware of Radon, but over time, Radon may have lung cancer and many are not aware that they have radons in their home.
The Century Home 2 is the follow -up of the original Colandium Home, and it does not include a homekit, it has an iOS application that is able to connect to your iPhone via Bluetooth to provide regular readings. It observes the radon layer, moisture and temperature and the layers can send a warning if a set is higher than the marginalization. When a reading goes beyond the range, the display lets you inform you, so that you can open the app to download the data to check in to check in the Wi-Fi without the need to connect the Wi-Fi, but so far, the connection and data downloads are quick and reliable.
According to the design, the Century Home 2 is fairly easy. It is made from black plastic, a small square screen where you can see at a glance radon, moisture and temperature lessons. There is a front button that has a cycle through each scene and it is a button inside the battery buggy and the battery buggy that activates Bluetooth. It connects an iphone on Bluetooth to sync data in the connected application and has the same straight design of the app.
The app has the current radon, moisture and temperature level with the options seeing the results over time. The options include 24 hours, seven days, 30 days and one year. You will see the average on the average during each period but you can also tap each category for more granular data. While you are watching data, the app has a neat hapattic feature. When you tap the line along the line, instead of just jumping from one spot to another, it will quickly run through different meanings, which are useful for getting a deeper look in just a few seconds.
The application and graph use green for “Good” Radon Reading, yellow for more than good categories and red for the hazard zone reading, when it uses the same color for moisture and adds blue for temperature. The app contains built -in thresholds that are not customized, but it usually seems based on the ideal indoor radon, moisture and temperature settings.
Until Radon Readings are below 2.7 PCI/L (it is under the picocaries per liter), the application and sensor will not increase the alarm. The yellow region is between 2.7 PCI/L and 4 PCI/L, while the red area is above 4 pcI/L. The US Environmental Conservation Agency suggests that people address Redon at the level of 2 PCI/L and 4 PCI/L with strong recommendations above 4 PCI/L.
For temperatures, the Century Home 2 Green Zone between 645 and 77 degrees, the Red Zone is above 77 77 degrees (alias it is hot), and the blue area is below 64 degrees (it is cold). The humidity is red above 70 percent and below 25 percent (these extremes are for humans and for your home wooden floors and items), 25 to 30 percent and yellow between 60 and 70 percent and green between 30 to 60 percent. The EPA recommends moisture levels between 30 and 50 for the optimum comfort, but the air -conditioning, heating and refrigeration institutes recommend between 40 and 60 percent. The dryer air can cause dry mucous membrane and infection, while the motor can produce air mold. The ideals based on climate and personal preferences can vary, so I hope the airshings need to adjust the marginalized for temperature and moisture when needed.
You can choose or choose a warning for radon, temperature and moisture. Redon alerts are launched by default, but can be tugged in the app settings, other options can be tugged. The application units can be changed in the app and if you provide your position to the app, there is an option to check the pollen layers.
There are many more affordable temperatures and moisture sensors in the market, so most people probably want to pick up the Centime Home 2 for Radon detection, temperature and moisture lessons serve as bonuses. There are multiple types of radon testing. Some are small packets of activated charcoal that you leave in the place before sending you to a lab, while on the other hand there are expensive professional-level testing machines and Mid-Tier sensors like CoranTium Home 2.
Mail-in tests are the most affordable and professional tests are the most expensive, but do not provide observation over time like Century Home 2. Redon is a significant problem that if you are in a region of the Radon level that are known as high, keep an eye on the radon level over time can provide peace of mind.
EPA contains a Radon Zone Map [PDF]And there is high to moderate potential for indoor radon level above most 2 PCI/L in the United States. Redon comes from the soil, rock and underground water and can enter your house without knowing it because it is invisible and no odor. The EPA assumes that 21,000 radon-related lung cancer has death every year and the radon exposure has no “safe” level. Exposure is even continuous at low levels and is the main cause of lung cancer among people who do not smoke.
My average radon level in my house was 5.7 PCI/L, and it is sometimes spread to 8 PCI/L, so I am familiar with Radon and Redon tests. I tested the radon of my house several times before and after the Redon mitigation system was installed. I do not have a recent professional exam (the last was in 2023), but the levels I have done in the CoranTium Home 2 shows are compatible with the results of the test (on average below 2 PCI/L).
The Redon Reedouts of CoranTium Home 2 seem to be correct to me, such as temperature and moisture sensors. I have several sensorpush sensors that I use regularly and it is cramped, and the Century Home 2 is usually within one percent of the temperature and humidity every time you check.
Even with a radon mitigation system, an alternative to see the radon layers is constantly resolved the question of whether the moss is working. Depending on outdoor conditions, year and other factors, the radon layers can be quite a bit, as well as they can vary in the room, so the other great thing about the CoranTium Home 2 can turn it around and make sure that there is no hot spots.
Redon monitors are usually placed in the lowest area of the house (where the gas is fixed) and a few feet from a door or a few feet from a window openly open, as it can affect the reedout. With the Century Home 2, you will find your first reading within 24 hours and then continuous lessons. Over time you need to test for about 30 days to get a clean picture of Radon and you will download the app from the device every time you open the app.
If it turns out that you have a Radon problem, the application can provide information about what to do about it. You can also turn on the setting of a “connect to a professional” that you will automatically contact any local company that deals with Radon, but I think most people are intelligent enough to find their own help.
CoranThem Home 2 operates two AA battery. I am still not sure how long the batteries will last, but the AA is the battery type that puts a lot of people in hand and the use of the battery seems to be minimal that the data is transferred through Bluetooth.
Bottom line
Most of us have carbon monoxide sensors and smoke detectors in our home, but Radon can be just as dangerous. CoranThem Home 2 is $ 180, which looks like a reasonable price to pay for the Radon flight over time.
If you do not have a radon mulch or are not familiar with Radon, you can let you know if there is a problem. If you are already in mulch and are aware of a problem, it may inform you that your system is acting as purpose.
How to buy
CoranThem Home 2 can be purchased from Airthings website or for $ 180 from Amazon.
