I bought this great little nugget on Amazon on 28 Aug 2020. It's been wonderful for a little over four years (now it's 18 Jan 2025). The sensor seems to have gone bad bec I get only a static PM2.5=3 and AQI=13 forever and no amount of reset attempts seem to help (taking the batteries out, simultaneously pressing the two white buttons in the back, etc.) I guess I'll just have to buy a new one. My model is WH41B with Sensor ID=E3.

UPDATE 12/3/2023 - After using this for a few months it stopped working yesterday. I tried charging the batteries overnight, but after testing one batter was completely dead and non-rechargeable. After replacing with other batteries, it still doesn't seem very accurate. The morning readings are very high and seems to level off during the day. But still not close to AirNow.gov, IQair or national air quality readings in my area. I really like the meter and price and Ecowitt products but need a more accurate consistent reading.UPDATE 8/5/2023 - After using meter for a couple of weeks I've noticed inconsistencies in the PM2.5 and AQI reading. In the morning it is super high (PM2.5 173, AQI 223) and wonder if I should even go outside. Then after a couple hours after the sun come up a huge difference of PM2.5 2, AQI 8. That can't be correct?? The AirNow and my Davis AirLink readings seems to more consistent with local EPA readings. Debating whether to send it back or not.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------Very nice and reasonably priced AQI/PM2.5 meter. Super easy to setup and my Ecowitt weather station recognized it immediately and display online. I've had it for a week now and have been very impressed with it. It is pretty close to AirNow air quality readings. I have it mounted in the backyard on the same pole as my weather station, so it gets the best air quality readings.The solar panel seems to work ok and displays 100% charged so far. I live in central Florida, so I get pretty good sun during the day.Looks exactly like the Ambient Weather PM25 but cheaper and has display. I would have given it a 5-star, but the only disappointment is it hard to read the display and the website looks like it has a backlit display which it does not. Other than that, not a bad air quality sensor for the price.

This seemed to work great and accurately measure the air quality based on a nearby metrics, but the included display (which sits inside and pulls in air quality data from the monitor outside, along with indoor temp and humidity) requires a single AA battery (not included) to operate and strips the battery so quickly that it only works for an hour at most before the battery is dead and it stops pulling in data. The first time it happened, I thought maybe the included batteries with the aqi monitor were drained, but I charged them and they were completely full still. Replaced the battery, and the same thing happened again. Doesn't matter how accurate the reading is if I can't read it because the display dies immediately! It's too bad, this would have been the perfect solution.

Fonctionne très bien, le panneau solaire charge bien les batteries.J'utilise toujours les batteries d'origines depuis 1 an.Et fonctionne aussi, très bien à l'extérieurJe le recommande pour les gens qu'ils veulent savoir la qualité de l'air dans leur cour ou dans la maison.Il s’installe rapidement avec le récepteur GW1000 et fonctionne aussi en même temps sur Moniteur WH0290

It is a particle meter, not an air pollution index monitor so it shows the amount of dust/pollen particles with a number. That number then reflects on a bar graph below that shows the air pollution index more or less. So if you are under 12, then you are still in the "good" range. As the number goes higher, it shows what the air pollution index would be...good, moderate, mild, unhealthy, severe and hazardous. There is a wide range for each air pollution level and since I have asthma, I am more interested in how many particles are floating around my room. So this monitor works great for that and still gives me a rough air pollution index! It is well made and works great through wifi. I can place the transmitter anywhere in the house or outside with the additional solar charger and monitor the air quality from my room. Really nice!

I can recommend this Ecowitt Air Quality Monitor.I recently purchased this sensor to monitor outdoor and indoor air quality at a home in Hawaii with volcanic emissions (VOG - mostly PM2.5 where I live). It seems accurate as I have another quality sensor (Plantower PMS3003) which gives the same results. Both of my sensors also match a quality Purple Air sensor located at a nearby house in my neighborhood.This Ecowitt sensor is particularly nice because it has no wires and you can move the monitor and/or sensor around easily if needed. You can have the monitor in one room with you, and the sensor anywhere else, or take it with you – whatever you like. This sensor does take a few minutes to update the readings, unlike a live sensor which is constantly changing, but that is to save energy life with the 2 sensor rechargeable batteries and a wireless connection – and is not really an issue.Quick Summary:1. Nice battery operated display (no wires) with PM2.5 / ugm3, Max, 24-hour Max and 1hr Max PM2.5, 24-hour AQI color bar, temp and humidity, sensor battery level and sensor reception icon.2. Quality/Accurate water-resistant Honeywell HPM partical sensor with rechargeable batteries and a solar panel (no wires). Sensor also has USB charge port, batteries last about 3 weeks without any charge, indefinitely with solar.3. Useful Instruction Manual.4. Responsive customer service.
