By keeping track of your indoor air quality levels, you can make healthier decisions in the spaces where you
spend most of your time.
The Airthings Wave Mini provides you with detailed information about airborne chemicals, temperature
and humidity levels on your phone, Airthings Dashboard or by simply waving in front of the device for a
visual indication of your air quality levels—green is good, yellow is warning and red is danger.

Easy to install
Simply use the stand to place the device on a flat
surface. Alternatively, you can fix the mounting
bracket to the ceiling or wall using a screw. When
finding a screw, make sure to use the appropriate
screw for your wall type. The screw must have a
low clearance height on the head for the device
to attach easily to the base. Thanks to the built-in
magnet, simply snap the unit onto the mounted
bracket once you have installed it to the wall.
Do not place the device close to vents or
windows. Minimum 1 meter / 3 feet distance.
Daily use
Wave in front of your device to see a visual
indication of your indoor air quality levels.
To download measurement data, open the
Airthings Wave app when the phone is within
Bluetooth range of your device. The app will
search for devices and download historical data.
You will be notified if any
actions are needed through
the app.
The Wave Mini also includes
Airthings Smartlink which
works with the future
Airthings Hub for live
updates.

Sensor icons
Airborne chemicals and toxins – Total Volatile Organic Compounds or TVOCs are
vapors emitted from all sorts of daily products including paints and furniture, wax
and cosmetics, cleaning and hobby products, cooking and human breath. At high
concentrations they can be harmful and cause negative side-effects from minor
eye, nose and throat irritations all the way to liver and kidney damage, depending
on the level and length of exposure.
Temperature – Indoor temperatures can affect performance, mood and comfort
level. Individual sleep patterns are also affected by indoor air temperature.
Humidity – Too much or too little humidity can affect allergies and cold or flu
symptoms. When humidity levels are too high, mold and rot can occur. Low
humidity levels cause static electricity, dry skin and hair, and increased
susceptibility to colds and respiratory illness.
Troubleshooting
First and foremost, always make sure that you
have updated to the latest device software
• In the device settings menu, click update
device.
Not able to connect to my device
• Make sure you have the detector within
the range of 2-5 meters or 5-15 feet.
• Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your
smartphone.
• Check if the power indicator is blinking.
My app is not updated when running in
background mode
• Open your phone settings and verify that
the Airthings Wave app is running in the
background. You can usually find this in
the app manager section of your phone
settings.
• Make sure you are in Bluetooth range
periodically.
No response from glow signal
• First, sync your data and then replace the
batteries. We recommend AA alkaline
(LR6).
