Here you can see the sensor thresholds
Sensor thresholds cause the light on the Wave monitor to display whether you have good 🟢, fair 🟡, or poor 🔴 air quality. On the Wave Radon, Wave Mini, and Wave Plus when waving your hand across the device, the light will illuminate your air quality. On the Wave Enhance, when you tap the logo on the monitor the light will illuminate your air quality.
Temperature, light, and ambient noise does not influence the color of the illuminated glow light on the Wave monitor, however, you will see a small color dot beside temperature in the app if the temperature is above or below the recommended threshold.
Below you will be able to identify the different sensors in each device as well as the thresholds for the sensors in Metric and Imperial.

*Wave Enhance only. These will not effect the AirGlimpse in the app or the glow light indicator on the monitor.
