2.4.Optimization of temperature sensor performance
To ensure optimum performance of the embedded temperature sensor, follow these recommendations:
- Prefer wall mounting to reach higher performance of the sensor (accuracy and repeatability). Temperature measurement will thus be more consistent with temperature felt in the room.
- Avoid placing Amy 1 io in direct sunlight.
- Place it away from any source of heat or cold (ideally 1 m from a radiator, an air conditioner, a wood stove,…).
- Place it away from direct airflow (at least 25 cm from an opening).
- Avoid enclosed area, where the sensor will not be influenced by the surrounding air.
2.5.Wall mounting
NOTICE
- The use of radio appliances operating on the same frequency may cause interference and reduce the product’s performance.
- Never use the control point near a metal frame or metal surfaces, as this can reduce the radio range.
- The environment in which the product is used might reduce the radio range.
- The use in the same floor as the controlled products is recommended.
- Radio range in free field: 150 m.

Battery status can be checked on TaHoma application, if Amy 1 io has been added in TaHoma, and an alert may be sent out if this feature is activated (Follow the instructions in TaHoma application).
3.5.Use with TaHoma
A temperature sensor, not visible, is embedded into Amy 1 io.
This sensor works in combination with TaHoma where it appears as an indoor temperature sensor.
When Amy 1 io is added in TaHoma application and the temperature feedback to TaHoma is activated on Amy 1 io, the sensor measures the temperature inside the room (around Amy 1 io) and sends the measured values to TaHoma. These temperature values can be consulted in TaHoma and can then be used for scenes to optimize home automation.
CAUTION
Be careful in case of wind!
Automation provided by TaHoma and Amy 1 io allows the automatic use of a motorised product when the temperature of the room equals a certain threshold, without consideration of the wind.
To maximize the protection of the motorised product from the wind and limit the risk of breaking, use a wind sensor paired with the motorised product (sold separately).
In any case, a wind sensor does not protect against sudden gusts of wind. In the event of such weather risks, deactivate the embedded temperature sensor (see below).
