AutoStart/off? Airsense 10 AutoSet + Airtouch N30i

Post by patrick_a » Tue Apr 15, 2025 11:04 am

Does anybody know if the auto start/off feature is still operational with the N30i on my machine?

Been using the N20 for years and would like to try the new[er] N30i due to the lower footprint on my face/head.

Thanks.

I've included a picture of my run hours just in case anyone is curious about motor longevity on these older models. This one has been phenomenal and still running nightly like new.

The SmartStart/off feature works with the N30i, but it is sensitive to a combination of pressure and mask size.

SmartStart/off assumes nobody is attached to the hose because of backpressure. With small masks and small openings, sometimes enough backpressure is still generated that the ResMed believes it's just a large leak.

Just a quick update: Smart Start is super responsive. Actually, works a little better than my n20. Shutting down after removing is just a couple seconds longer... maybe.

Comfort is off the chart 😀 I'll see how my night goes.
