" ... Works well with Alexa. ... "
" ... It's great being able to keep tabs on the the conditions of the rooms to turn on and off necessary devices. ... The incorporated plug helps with this if the device connected isn't a smart device as you have control to turn it on and off manually or on a schedule you can customize. ... Once connected you can control it from anywhere. ... "

" ... 2) I clearly misunderstood and this rolls over from my first statement - yes - IFTTT connects to this BUT Glow is not the trigger. ... "

" ... Here are the Pros: It's small, it's good looking for a scientific instrument, it was really easy to set up, the app is clear and simple. ... "
" ... i bought 3 awair devices and while they are all pretty easy to use, I would say the scores / readings should be used as a directional guidance vs. absolute as a) the absolute readings don't seem be super accurate (it is a $100 device afterall vs. scientific class equipment which are thousands of dollars and b) even putting the awair devices all in one room next to each other give pretty different readings sometimes (e.g. ...

" ... It really helps my son manage the inside air quality of his apartment that is close to multiple highways, bus station, train station and city buses -- so everything near the windows gets covered in soot. ... "
" ... We picked up an Awair and have moved it between several bedrooms, the hallway, our foyer, and our covered, screened porch. ... "
" ... fortunately for us, our air quality/flow seems pretty good in our NYC apt. ... "
" ... With the heater in our house on, and my wife and I sleeping soundly, it picked up that the Carbon dioxide in the room spiked overnight and that the humidity dropped. ... "
" ... We live in a new house that is [too] well insulated, and thus not much fresh air movement in the house, and we were concerned that we need to open the windows and doors once in a while to let the air circulate to prevent CO2 level ... Probably need one for the basement also, at some point in time. ... "
" ... however, that’s not particularly necessary for all of my home’s rooms. ... "
" ... Very happy with my purchase, and eager to get more for the other rooms in our home. ... "
" ... I have been using my Awair Glow to monitor the Air Quality in my bedroom. ... I have been considering buying additional units for use in other parts of my house. ... "

" ... I exchanged it, but the new one after 3 months does the same. ... "
" ... It was originally very flaky and disconnected constantly. ... That stopped the constant disconnect but it still happens but far less frequently. ... It had similar disconnect issues but now that I believe I resolved them, I want it too. ... "
" ... However, my device failed (gave nonsense readings) within a week. ... However, that one also failed, as did Glow #3 and Glow #4. ... "
" ... I tossed it out today after trying off and on for 14 months. ... "
" ... Minus 3 stars, it stopped working on day 3. ... "

" ... To their credit, Awair sent me a replacement. ... "
" ... They were responsive, but ultimately were unable to resolve the problem, so I had to return it. ... "

" ... The fact that it has a adjustable night light that can be disabled, air quality indicator light that can also be disabled (in case you like to sleep in the pitch black darkness), a smart plug, and built in programming that you can customize to run various appliances to help improve the air quality however you'd like, all for $100, is incredible! ... "
" ... And if you don’t always want to look at the app, you can just glance at the led light that changes from green to red allowing for a quick status indicator. ... "
" ... I'm using it in an indoor grow tent. ... "
" ... It has a bunch of great features: ... "
" ... The nigh-light is a plus too! ... "

" ... In the app you can change from several light settings including No lights, air quality indicator light on, and Night light on. ... "
