HomeKit Air Purifier over Thread Works with HomeKit (Home Hub Required) 3-Stage H13 True HEPA Smart Air Cleaner 1000 sq.ft Purelle AP2

I recently purchased the Airversa air purifier, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. This device has truly transformed the air quality in my home, making it a healthier and more comfortable place to live.Effective Filtration: The Airversa air purifier boasts a three-stage filtration system, including a HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. This means it effectively removes dust, pollen, pet dander, and even some bacteria and viruses from the air. Nice to see how the light changes color depending on air quality.Smart Connectivity: One of the standout features of this purifier is its compatibility with Apple HomeKit and Thread connectivity. This allows for seamless integration with other smart home devices, making it easy to control and monitor air quality through your iPhone or other Apple devices. Super easy setup.Quiet Operation: Despite its powerful performance, the Airversa air purifier operates quietly, with noise levels comparable to a desk fan. This makes it perfect for use in bedrooms, living rooms, or any other space where you want clean air without the noise. We use it at night.Affordable Maintenance: Replacing the filters is straightforward and cost-effective, with replacement filters priced reasonably. This ensures that maintaining the purifier is hassle-free and doesn’t break the bank. Two options of filters to choose from.Performance: In terms of performance, the Airversa air purifier excels. It quickly and efficiently cleans the air, making a noticeable difference in rooms up to 300 square feet. Whether it’s dealing with cooking odors in the kitchen or allergens in the bedroom, this purifier handles it all with ease.

I purchased this air purifier in November 2022 and it has worked flawlessly. The support for Thread was a key decision maker, as it ensures current and future compatibility across smart home systems. There’s no app to install and it “just works.” Personally, I use HomeKit devices, so the Airversa purifier was setup through the native Apple Home app. It allows me to power on/off the device, adjust fan speed, and shows air quality and temperature within the Home app or by asking Siri. It’s truly a seamless experience and how smart home devices should be — quick setup, no separate app, and never needs to be set up or paired again (even if moved or disconnected from power). The automatic fan speed is also great, as it will detect pollutants and increase the filtration speed, but is still relatively quiet (the noise it does produce on higher speeds is akin to “white noise” and quite soothing). I placed it near a balcony door that I often open in the spring, so when it detects pollen, it will ramp up the speed. This has caused a noticeable reduction of pollen inside my home during those spring months. Additionally, the replacement filters are readily available and comparatively inexpensive to other air purifier brands.

I purchased the Airversa HomeKit Air Purifier upon recommendation by one of the Smart Home YouTubers. So far, his recommendation was spot on. It was an easy setup in my home office, and the connection to HomeKit was very easy. The AP2 is a HomeKit thread device, so you should have at least one Thread router device. I have HomePod Minis and an AppleTV 4k, so the connection to the HomeKit Thread network is excellent.The AP2 is quiet and unobtrusive while I work. The onboard controls are easy to access, use, and understand. Documentation is complete and easy to follow. A PDF version of the instructions is available to download.The AP2 is controllable from the onboard controls, a downloadable app for your iOS device, and rudimentary controls via Apple Home. The on/off control and air quality sensor are available via HomeKit, and they can be used in your home automation scenes.There are two filters in the device, and it was clear in the instructions that they are not reusable. I've looked on the Airversa website and they do seem to have readily available filters for purchase. Keep this in mind as you consider the overall cost of the device over time.If you are a HomeKit user and looking for an easily installed and controlled air filter for your smart home setup, the AP2 is highly recommended.

The Airversa HomeKit Air Purifier has seamlessly integrated into my HomeKit ecosystem, offering a reliable and efficient solution for maintaining indoor air quality. Its Thread connectivity ensures a swift and stable connection to HomeKit, enabling the device to effortlessly report environmental data and bolster my Thread network as an additional router.One of the standout features of this air purifier is its impressive performance. In a moderate test, the device efficiently reduced particulate matter in a 200 square foot room from 70µg/m^3 to approximately ~3µg/m^3 within a mere 20 minutes, showcasing its ability to swiftly improve indoor air quality.While the Airversa HomeKit Air Purifier offers convenient control through the HomeKit app, it does have some minor limitations. Notably, setting night mode directly from the app interface would be a welcomed addition. Additionally, the HomeKit app lacks full utilization of all available features, such as filter maintenance information, requiring the use of third-party HomeKit apps like Eve for access to these settings.Despite these minor drawbacks, the Airversa HomeKit Air Purifier remains a valuable addition to any smart home setup. Its seamless integration with HomeKit, coupled with its efficient purification capabilities, makes it an excellent choice for those prioritizing indoor air quality management and smart home convenience.
