  5. Assign to room: Choose the appropriate room
  6. Place sensor: Position at breathing height, away from windows

Key Features

  • Air quality (VOC): Measures volatile organic compounds
  • Temperature: Accurate room temperature
  • Humidity: Room humidity level
  • E-Ink display: Always-on display shows current readings
  • Thread support: Fast, reliable connectivity
  • Rechargeable: USB-C charging, 6-week battery life

Troubleshooting

  • VOC calibrating: Allow 15 minutes for VOC sensor to calibrate
  • Display dim: E-Ink doesn't need backlight. Normal in low light
