Airthings Wave Plus Room Air Sensor
I use two Airthings Wave Plus devices on the ground floor. They are tied into the home automation system using a Raspberry Pi, which monitors the radon concentration and triggers an alarm if necessary.
I measured the radon concentration during 5 weeks with two Airthings Wave Plus and one Corentium Plus. The detected deviations between the 3 devices were partly enormous (up to 300%)!

Very mature product. Who is interested in building physics is well served with it. The data can also be loaded as a series of numbers and evaluated yourself. In particular, the CO2 measurement also allows to determine when people were present in the room. Thus the radon measurements can be objectified. Radon is only a problem if there is an exposure.
Nevertheless, with the simple color code, the daily user of the room is also informed when to ventilate. Would be helpful for classrooms. The measurement is much more useful than dosimeters, which give values only after three months and laboratory analysis.

Easy to use
I'm curious to see what the radon values look like after the calibration period is over. At the moment they would not be good at all.
The other values correspond well with our existing weather station and the data from Meteoschweiz (we have a Meteoschweiz weather station within sight).
