The battery status can be checked in the TaHoma application if the Amy 1 io has been added to TaHoma, and a notification can be sent if this function is enabled (follow the instructions in the TaHoma application).

3.5. Use with TaHoma

An integrated, non-visible temperature sensor is built into the Amy 1 io. This sensor works in conjunction with TaHoma, where it appears as an indoor temperature sensor. When the Amy 1 io is added to the TaHoma application and temperature feedback to TaHoma is enabled, the sensor measures the room temperature (around the Amy 1 io) and sends the measured values to TaHoma. These temperature values can be viewed in TaHoma and used for scenes to optimize home automation.

ATTENTION: Be careful with wind! Automation provided by TaHoma and Amy 1 io enables automatic operation of a motorized product when the room temperature reaches a certain threshold, without considering the wind. To maximize the protection of the motorized product against wind and limit the risk of breakage, use a wind sensor paired with the motorized product (sold separately). A wind sensor does not protect against sudden gusts of wind. In case of such weather risks, disable the built-in temperature sensor (see below).
