Dyson and Airthings read different VOC levels

I noticed when kids play in the basement the VOC spikes really high on the airthings monitor. Last night was close to the red zone. I brought downstairs Dyson to check what it has to say but the Dyson VOC showed green. I am very confused.

 

PS: The VOC levels in the basement got worse after we installed a new furnace. The basement window is always cracked opened. If the kids are not in the basement, Airthings reads low VOC

The VOC sensors do need some time to calibrate. If you unplug the machine it needs some time to re-calibrate. Try to keep the dyson and the airthings devices for a longer time in the same room and enable the continiuous monitoring for the dyson.

Please keep us posted. I have the same sensors and I wanted to know what’s more reliable .

 

DP04 not as sensitive to VOC 

TP 07 VERY sensitive 

Airthings VOC seems to react slower to TP07 but seems to match. TP07!reading ?
