Back in January, we reported on a forthcoming air purifier under the brand name Welov that would be the first Matter-enabled purifier on the market. It’s now here and available on Amazon.com, and somewhat surprisingly, the price is not too bad, considering it’s a Matter device. This is the P200 Pro, which also comes with a feature Apple users are probably going to like.
Whilst you may not have heard of ‘Welov’ (Seriously, who comes up with these names?), the brand is part of an ecosystem called AiDot, which also represents a brand you may be more familiar with, Linkind, who have been producing Matter compatible light bulbs for a while now. The P200 Pro, foremost an air purifier, is tailored to combat elevated PM2.5 levels, particularly prevalent at night, catering to allergy-prone individuals, offering protection against allergens like pollen.
Its appeal to Apple enthusiasts lies in its seamless integration with Apple Health, facilitating the sharing of sleep data. This enables the purifier to adapt purification modes according to sleep cycles. This would take the form of the fan speed adjusting according to sleep patterns that are built up over time in Apple’s Health app. Regardless of Apple affiliation, users benefit from personalised sleep profiles, synchronisation with individual sleep patterns, sound level monitoring, and adjustable lighting effects, including an LED positioned atop the device.
Here are some of the features of this new Air Purifier:
Cleans areas up to 1570 ft² within 60 minutes.
Monitors and adjusts fan speed in real-time based on indoor air quality, with feedback displayed through colour LEDs and PM2.5 data.
Operates at noise levels as low as 23dB in sleep mode for minimal disturbance.
Utilises HEPA filtration, certified to capture 99.97% of ultra-fine particles.
In a move not dissimilar to the Smartmi P1 air purifier, Welov has three different filter options, to be suit you particular needs.
The purple filter (Toxin Absorber Filter) is designed to tackle things like VOCs, including formaldehyde, and other gases, with the use of a larger active carbon layer.
The white filter (Original Filter) is for standard air quality situations, like PM2.5, and smoke.
The Yellow filter (Pet Care Filter) is designed more for people with pets, so it’s tuned towards pet dander, hair, pollen, and pet odours.
In reality, these filters should tackle all of the above, to a large degree, although the purple filter, differs with its larger active carbon layer.
So this is a Matter device, but it uses Matter over WiFi, so even though it can claim to be the first of its kind in this regard, the Airversa Purelle (review HERE, video HERE) is still currently the only HomeKit over Thread device on the market. You can purchase the P200 Pro from Amazon.com now for US$137.98, which also includes one of the three filters of your choice.
