Operating Instructions

Viewing Data

Once connected, open the app to view real-time temperature and humidity readings. You can also access historical data and graphs to track environmental changes over time.

Changing Temperature Units (°F/°C)

To switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C), navigate to the device settings within the app. After changing the setting in the app, you may need to press the physical reset button on the device for the change to take effect immediately. This action does not erase your Wi-Fi setup.

Voice Control (Alexa/Google Home)

The sensor is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. To enable voice control:

1. Link your 'Tuya Smart' or 'Smart Life' account to your Alexa or Google Home app.
2. Discover new devices.
3. You can then ask for readings, e.g., "Alexa, what is the temperature in the living room?" or "Hey Google, what is the humidity in the baby room?"
