Temtop Air Meter S1 UP

I've had it for 6 months and it has mostly hovered around AQI of 1 or 2 occasionally up to 20 making me wonder if this thing is working. Then the wildfire smoke from Canada hit Ohio and air quality is all over the news. Today I can see the fog in the air and this shows AQI 75 inside where I always run air purifiers. I set it outside, AQI jumped within a couple minutes up to 265. Brought it back inside and jacked up the 3 purifiers from low to high, indoor AQI went down from 75 to 67. This is all very useful information for respiratory health.

It does seem to provide pretty accurate PM2.5 and air quality readings. At least, these jibed with the one-word weather descriptions of Accuweather, a weather forecasting service. But will still need to try it out more to ascertain if it’s really accurate over a spectrum of air quality conditions. As of the first series of readings though, it did well.

This air quality monitor is working perfectly fine. I have seen some comments saying that it is not stable but I have tested it in multiple scenarios and it is working perfectly fine. I have recently bought an air purifier. Before turning on the air purifier the AQI was around 85 in my room. After 10 minutes of running the air purifier at full speed the value dropped to 25. I also tried it in multiple places during multiple days and the values looked consistent. I think this is a genuine product. I am attaching a few images captured at different locations. The only problem I noticed is when we use it directly under the sunlight it is giving a lesser AQI value. I think they have also mentioned this point in their manual, saying that direct exposure to a light source can alter the values. That is the only issue I found with it but for internal use cases it is great and really content and the battery life is so good. I have been using it for almost one week and even a single bar has dropped on it. Just to clarify I have been only using it on and off for short durations to test the AQI. I haven't left it turned on but even with this I think the battery life is really good.

Estaba súper escéptico al comprar este producto por las reseñas que he visto. Algunas dicen que no le dura la batería. Otros que no es exacto. Otros que se traba y ya no mide más. Después de una semana de usarlo… la batería le ha durado impresionantemente mucho. Si lo considero sensible ya que sí marca diferencias cuando cambias de cuarto o cuando sales. Inclusive me lo he llevado a casas de amigos para medir en diferentes lugares y verdaderamente mide más contaminado en donde sí está más contaminado y también mide menos contaminado cuando ya tengo el purificador de aire prendido durante algún tiempo. Lo único que no me gusta tanto es que es más exacto cuando lo prendes y apagas porque. Vuelve a medir desde 0 pero bueno, al final mide y es lo que importa. Tiene un margen de error de más menos 5 y como dice en el instructivo: al final es un producto para medir en casa, no es profesional ni la herramienta más fina es para que te des una idea. Lo recomiendo ampliamente y le dejo las 5 estrellas para complementar tantos malos reviews con los que no estoy de acuerdo para nada. Update: Estoy aún más contento con el sensor porque me lo he estado llevando a diferentes lugares. Me lo traje a un lugar que es un bosque y el aire supuestamente está muy limpio y al llegar lo encendí y ciertamente lo marco limpio. Pero luego el vecino empezó a quemar basura y cosas (malamente) y al mirarlo subieron los niveles de 12 aqi a 140 aqi. Realmente funciona y sí reacciona en un rango de tiempo realmente rápido.

Stays charged great, love having it in the kitchen for measuring air quality.
