3.3 Setting Alerts
Within the Smart Life app, navigate to the device settings to configure temperature and humidity alarm thresholds. You can set upper and lower limits for both the built-in sensor and the external probe. When the monitored values fall outside these ranges, the app will send instant notifications to your smartphone and/or email.
3.4 Dual Monitoring Capability
The device monitors two ambient temperatures simultaneously:
- The built-in sensor measures the temperature and humidity of the immediate environment where the main unit is placed (e.g., room temperature).
- The external probe sensor detects the temperature of the specific area it is placed in (e.g., inside a freezer, fish tank, or wine cellar).

4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Replacement
When the Smart Life app indicates a low battery level, replace the two AAA batteries. The low power consumption design ensures a long battery life, typically at least two years.
4.2 Cleaning
Wipe the thermometer unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the main unit in water. The external probe is waterproof and can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
4.3 Probe Care
Ensure the external probe's silicone head is intact and properly sealed if it is used in wet environments or liquids like fish tanks.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 No Wi-Fi Connection
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The device does not support 5GHz networks.
