4.3 Pairing with a Zigbee Gateway

To integrate the sensor into your smart home system, you need a compatible Zigbee 3.0 gateway (e.g., SONOFF Zigbee Bridge Pro, SONOFF NSPanel Pro, SONOFF ZBDongle-P/E, or Alexa with Built-in Zigbee Hub).

  1. Ensure your Zigbee gateway is powered on and in pairing mode. Refer to your gateway's manual for specific instructions on enabling pairing mode.
  2. Open the eWeLink app (or your preferred smart home app compatible with your gateway).
  3. Follow the app's instructions to add a new Zigbee device. This usually involves pressing and holding a reset button on the SNZB-02D sensor until an indicator light flashes, signaling it's in pairing mode.
  4. Once successfully paired, the sensor will appear in your app, and its real-time data will be displayed.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement

When the low battery icon appears on the LCD display or in the app, it's time to replace the CR2450 battery. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 4.1.

6.2 Cleaning

Wipe the sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as this may damage the device or affect its accuracy.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Sensor not connecting to gateway: Ensure the gateway is in pairing mode and the sensor is within range. Try resetting the sensor and attempting to pair again.
  • Inaccurate readings: Ensure the sensor is placed in a location with good air circulation, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. Allow some time for the sensor to stabilize after placement.
  • No data in app: Check the sensor's battery level. Ensure your Zigbee gateway has a stable internet connection.
  • Voice control not working: Verify that the sensor is correctly linked to your Alexa or Google Home account through the eWeLink app and that your voice assistant device is online.

8. User Tips

  • Optimal Placement: For the most accurate readings, place the sensor in a central location in the room, away from windows, doors, vents, or direct sunlight.
  • Battery Life: While the CR2450 battery offers a long lifespan, regularly check the battery status in the app to avoid unexpected disconnections.
  • Zigbee Network Strength: If you experience connectivity issues, consider adding a Zigbee router (e.g., a smart plug or light bulb) between the sensor and your gateway to extend the network range.
  • Data Export: Utilize the data export feature to track long-term environmental trends, which can be useful for identifying patterns or issues in your home.
