Best for, and skip if

Best for you if

  • You want to see radon readings away from home, through Wi-Fi and an app.
  • You have a spot near an outlet and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal where it can run for months.

Skip it if

  • You want to read a number on the device itself; the EcoQube shows a colored light, and the numbers are in the app.
  • Your home has no 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi where the monitor will sit; Ecosense lists Wi-Fi as required.

The EcoQube is Ecosense's Wi-Fi radon monitor: a small plug-in cube with a pulsed ionization chamber, a three-color light on the front and an app that shows hourly data from anywhere. C-NRPP approved it in its 2024/25 consumer monitor evaluation, with an A grade in all four test rounds.

The sensor, the sampling and the readings, then who has checked it

How it works

In our words, from the maker's documents

The EcoQube counts radon in a pulsed ionization chamber, the same sensor type Ecosense lists for its RadonEye. The 2024 comparison in Sensors lists the detection principle as a pulsed ion chamber for both the EcoQube and the AlphaGUARD professional monitor it used as its reference, and notes that every monitor it tested draws air into its detection chamber passively, without a pump.

Ecosense rates the EcoQube's counting sensitivity at 30 counts per hour per pCi/L. It measures every 10 minutes and reports a 60-minute moving average, and Ecosense promises a first reading in 10 minutes with no 24-hour wait. The published measurement range runs from 0.2 to 99.9 pCi/L, or 7 to 3,700 Bq/m³.

Where the RadonEye talks to your phone over Bluetooth, the EcoQube joins your home Wi-Fi, which Ecosense lists as required and specifies as a 2.4 GHz network. That is what allows remote access to results and hourly data logs in the app, with weekly, monthly and yearly trend charts. On the device itself there is no number display: Ecosense lists a three-color LED on the front as the visual radon indicator, and C-NRPP describes hourly levels shown on the LED with the averages and hourly data points in the app.

The app adds two features Ecosense lists for US users: a 72-hour test analysis called My Radon Analysis, and connection to other smart-home services through IFTTT. A 72-hour run is a short-term result. For any consumer monitor, the guidance is to leave it in place for at least three months and decide from the long-term average.

Ecosense describes what that analysis adds: a full result for a 72-hour run built from the monitor's own readings, an email when the analysis is done, recommendations it calls EPA-aligned, a comparison of your home with state averages and EPA benchmarks, and a look at how temperature, humidity, pressure, wind or rain affected your readings hour by hour. Those are the manufacturer's descriptions of its own software; the comparison with a state average describes other homes, not a measurement of yours.

What the manufacturer says

Ecosense's own statements, attributed

  • Ecosense saysEcosense states a radon accuracy and precision of under ±10% at 10 pCi/L after 10 hours.
  • Ecosense saysC-NRPP lists Ecosense's stated accuracy for the EcoQube as ±10% at 370 Bq/m³ after 10 hours of measurement.
  • Ecosense saysEcosense states the first reading arrives in 10 minutes, with no 24-hour wait.
  • Ecosense saysEcosense states coverage of up to 1,000 square feet.

These are Ecosense's own statements, attributed to it. They are not our findings, and we have not tested this product ourselves.

C-NRPP 2024/25, recalls and studies

C-NRPP 2024/25
Approved in C-NRPP's 2024/25 consumer monitor evaluation

Listed by C-NRPP as "Ecosense EcoQube". Results published May 2025.

Grade by round
  • Round 1A218 Bq/m³, 23°C, 28% RH, 7 days
  • Round 2A210 Bq/m³, 29°C, 70% RH, 7 days
  • Round 3A436 Bq/m³, 23°C, 36% RH, 7 days
  • Round 4A1,201 Bq/m³, 23°C, 35% RH, 7 days

C-NRPP grades each round by measurement error: A is 10% or less, B more than 10% and up to 20%, C more than 20% and up to 30%. It recommends devices that average B or better.

Earlier round

C-NRPP's 2023 report listed “Ecosense EcoQube” as having passed its performance test.

Recalls
No Health Canada recall or advisory names this device.
Peer-reviewed studies
  • In a 54-day field comparison at Spain's Laboratory of Natural Radiation (1 July to 23 August 2023), against a calibrated AlphaGUARD reference monitor, the EcoQube's average for the whole period was 5.4 percent above the reference's, and 18.9 percent of its expected readings were not recorded.
Notes
  • C-NRPP tested Canadian-market units; we have not confirmed the US version is identical.

C-NRPP is the Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program. Its 2024/25 results were published in May 2025.

What it costs to run

There is no lab fee, and Ecosense lists no subscription for the app or the 72-hour analysis. The ongoing needs are power and Wi-Fi. If the USB cable or adapter is lost, Ecosense sells replacements separately.

Who it fits

Good fit if, and look elsewhere if

Good fit if

  • You want to see radon readings away from home, through Wi-Fi and an app.
  • You have a spot near an outlet and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal where it can run for months.
  • You want a monitor that took part in C-NRPP's 2024/25 evaluation and graded A in every round.
  • You would like it to trigger other smart-home devices through IFTTT.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want to read a number on the device itself; the EcoQube shows a colored light, and the numbers are in the app.
  • Your home has no 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi where the monitor will sit; Ecosense lists Wi-Fi as required.
  • You want to move it between rooms without a cable; it runs on a plug-in adapter.
  • You need a result for a home sale; check what your state accepts before relying on any consumer monitor.

Setup and placement

2 steps

  1. Ecosense's setup is three steps: place the EcoQube in the room, download the EcoQube app, then connect to Wi-Fi and start monitoring. It runs from a 5V, 1A adapter, within an operating range of 32 to 104°F and relative humidity under 80%.
  2. For where to put it, the EPA's guidance for any home test applies: the lowest lived-in level, a room used regularly but not the kitchen or bathroom, at least 20 inches above the floor, and away from drafts, high heat, high humidity and exterior walls. C-NRPP adds that the room should be occupied for at least four hours a day.

How C-NRPP says to use any consumer monitor

  • Leave it in place for at least three months, ideally through the heating season, when indoor radon tends to be highest.
  • Put it in a room someone uses for at least four hours a day.
  • Decide about fixing your home from the long-term average, not a single day or week.
  • If you can only run a monitor for less than 91 days, follow up with a long-term test.

Questions

Questions people ask

6 questions about the Ecosense EcoQube, answered

Asked about the EcoQube

Does the EcoQube need Wi-Fi?

Yes. Ecosense lists a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network as required. Wi-Fi is how the app reaches the monitor's data, including remote access and hourly logs.

Was the EcoQube independently tested?

C-NRPP approved the Ecosense EcoQube in its 2024/25 consumer monitor evaluation, with an A in each of four chamber rounds, and its 2023 report also listed it as passing. C-NRPP tested Canadian-market units; we have not confirmed the US version is identical.

In a 54-day field comparison in Spain in 2023, published in Sensors in 2024, the EcoQube's average was 5.4 percent above a calibrated reference monitor's, and 18.9 percent of its expected readings were not recorded.

Is the 72-hour My Radon Analysis the same as a radon test?

It is a short-term result from your own monitor, which Ecosense offers to US users without lab fees. For a decision about fixing your home, C-NRPP recommends at least three months of monitoring and the long-term average, and a follow-up long-term test if you have less than 91 days of data.

How is the EcoQube different from the RadonEye?

Both are Ecosense monitors with a pulsed ionization chamber, a 30 counts per hour per pCi/L sensitivity rating, a 10-minute measurement rate and the same published range. The RadonEye has an OLED number display and talks to your phone by Bluetooth; the EcoQube has a three-color light and joins your Wi-Fi, which is what makes remote viewing and the 72-hour analysis possible.

Where is the EcoQube sold?

Ecosense says buyers in the USA and Canada purchase directly on its website, and points buyers in the EU and UK to its Amazon storefronts there. We list the manufacturer's page; we show an Amazon price only when Amazon's live product data supplies one.

Does the EcoQube have a screen?

No number display. Ecosense lists a three-color LED on the front as the radon level indicator; the readings, averages and charts are in the app.
