Two Bluetooth Airthings monitors without a numeric screen: compare the sensor sets, especially radon, and the hub requirement for remote access.
The decision in brief
How the options differ
Both are battery-powered Bluetooth monitors that sense CO2 by NDIR, measure temperature and humidity, report a VOC-related signal and lack a numeric display. Wave Plus, US model 2910, adds radon; Wave Enhance does not include radon or particle sensing and adds ambient light and noise signals. Neither is a standalone Wi-Fi device: remote access needs a compatible powered View hub for either.

The buying guide
Package and specification details
Decide whether radon is on your list
Wave Plus includes a radon sensor; Wave Enhance does not, and its light and noise signals do not create a radon or particle measurement. Neither monitor includes a particle sensor. If radon is the reason you are shopping, only the Wave Plus fits.
Both connect to the app over Bluetooth for nearby sync and history. Internet-connected remote access requires a compatible powered View hub for both; the Wave unit alone is not a Wi-Fi device. Calibration and settling conditions in the Wave Enhance manual are not replaced by an instant-accuracy promise.
Both run on two AA batteries. The Wave Plus standard package lists two alkaline batteries, a mounting screw and a manual; for Wave Enhance, confirm the exact standard-package accessories. Neither has a numeric screen, so readings come from the app or the unit's indication rather than a display.
Is Wave Enhance the same as Wave Mini or Wave Plus?
No. Wave Enhance is a separate product with its own sensor set, which excludes radon and particles. Keep the three model identities distinct when comparing.
