got my unit today. works fine.

too tired to check what happens if i use an older non-rfid filter on the new model.

there was huge gap in reading of the two models when placed together. from what i have read... the sensor on the older model is not much accurate.

anyhow... i cleaned it up and installed it besides my workstation.

if anyone has any questions, i can try answering them!

PS: Mi Air Purifier 2 is supported by Alexa. I do not think Mi ever highlighted that feature. I just realized it today.

Noticed that Mi Purifier 2 show more information about the room compared to 2S.

the sensor on 2s (at least mine) seems to be shit. dad's room is one of the most locked rooms in the house and 2s keeps on showing high value for it. took the older model and values appear normal on it.

looks like i would invest in a dedicated sensor.

info shown in screenshot above is visible with old mi filter also. Plus i got alexa enabled on old mi purifier.
plus got 2s for friend in 7k during "first" flipkart sale.

Extra info is not shown on 2s. At least for me on the android app.

Both Alexa and Assistant work with both models. Assistant is annoying to configure though.
