After testing this all day in a few different ways, I am going to preliminarily call this firmware update a big success! Here are 3 examples:
Kitchen/Dining Room AP
The one above is near my kitchen, and you can clearly see fluctuations throughout the day. I did not in any way try to influence the AQI on this one. It’s all natural. You can definitely tell when my wife made dinner and cookies today with the slight bumps in AQI, and slight variations throughout the day. This is exactly how I expected it should look!
Office AP
This one purposely blew a bunch of air freshener near the AP to purposely make the AQI shoot up high to ensure it was correctly capturing the data. As you can see above, it updated as expected. It also had slight variations throughout the rest of the day. Very happy with the results here.
Toddler’s Room in Sleep Mode
I basically left the above AP in sleep mode all day long. It’s fairly isolated and the AQI usually stays pretty low with rare fluctuation. Even then, you can see there was a small change around 8am just after she left to daycare. So even when it’s stuck on the low sleepmode setting, it still updated the AQI even though the fan speed and mode shouldn’t have changed.
All in all, Wyze should mention in the next fix-it-Friday that this fix with firmware and app is in public beta testing. In my opinion it is so far a BIG SUCCESS!!! My tests on all 3 air purifiers were wildly successful. Please thank the devs for their hard work over the last few months to figure this out with a great implementation. Looks good to me.
