Question about Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier 3H
Hello Together Can anyone answer the following. I bought this device a few days ago to improve the air quality at home. We already have comfort ventilation / Minergie in the house. The unit was therefore intended for the guest toilet, where the cat litter tray is also located. Assembled and installed (WLAN coupling doesn't work, I don't feel like messing around with it for ages. It works like this. Now the real problem is the display of the value. I almost always have 001.....sometimes when it gets a bit stinkier, the display goes up to 003 for a few seconds, 1x even to 005...! And then it goes down again to 001.....Katzenka**e still smells. Somehow I assumed that the air would be noticeably improved. Is the unit in this mode normal, i.e. almost always 001 on the display, or have I got a Monday unit? I have 001 on the display from 24 hours to a maximum of 23:55 hours. If this is normal, it must have been a bad buy for my purposes :-) Thank you very much for your feedback. Kind regards Phil

I think the air is too good in your guest toilet. The device is specifically designed for particles, smoke, etc. and not for simple stench. It will probably not detect methane either. But it's better to ask digitec to be sure.

Hi, here too I am confirmed that my approach was wrong. Thank you for the informative answer. You shouldn't always believe everything people say in forums like this :-). I'll order the activated carbon filter and try this variant, because unfortunately nothing else works (cat litter box is open, so no activated carbon filter). Otherwise, the part will go on sale.
The Xiaomi air purifier with HEPA filter is primarily intended for fine dust (soot, dust, pollen, etc). In a big city or during the pollen season, this is of course useful, but in your bathroom there probably won't be that much fine dust (unless you're just dumping new sand into the litter box).
A filter with activated carbon could help against odours, but I'm not an expert. The purple filter has activated carbon in it: Xiaomi Mi Air Purifier Filter Unfortunately, I don't know how much it helps against odours in practice.
Some litter boxes also have an activated carbon filter directly in the lid. If yours has one, check whether it has not been changed for a long time (>1 year).
