Understanding your readings

Updated over a week ago

You can view your measurements in the Airthings app or on the web dashboard.

In the app

Your Mini's current measurements are displayed in the screen below. If your Mini is up-to-date, these are the measurements taken in the last 5 minutes (mold risk is expressed as a 48hr rolling average):

If you click into one of the sensors, you can view the averages over periods of time such as 48hrs, 1 week and 1 month.

Alternatively, you can follow the link to the web dashboard from the app to view your measurements in more detail, including viewing the timestamps for each sample taken.
