This device can connect to Wifi (Tuya Smart App for Apple or Android) for Smart Home. View the air quality detected by the device on your phone when on Wifi. (Viewing remotely over the internet may require setup on your router and router's firewall/proxy. Like most such devices, by default the device works within a home network. It does not publish your home data on the internet.)
Supports Wifi 4 at 2,4GHz. Ensure your Wifi system is configured to have 801.11n at 2,4GHz enabled for device to connect (like all other Tuya devices and most Smart Home devices).
No support for Wifi 5, Wifi 6 or Wifi 7 at 5GHz or 6GHz.
Built-in battery included and can run on USB-C power (it works while connected to USB-C and it can run standalone without cable). Cable included as per photo.
No power supply included. Can be powered by most USB power providers such as cell phone power supplies or USB hubs or USB power banks.

Not designed for scientific use. Cannot be used in a court of law to prove exact values. Cannot be used as a medical device or life-saving equipment. Values are indicative of air quality and give a reasonable estimation for home users or office users to know there is a problem needing attention. Ideal for helping to notice that a gas heater or gas burner is leaking or burning poorly, or using up all the oxygen in a room, or pollution has blown towards your home. Perfect for the person wanting a smart home with knowledge of general air quality, or for travellers wanting to know estimated air quality in areas they go to. Detection of pollutants can take between 2 seconds and 200 seconds, depending on the type of pollution. The device takes up to 200 seconds to switch on. The device display is in English as per photos included.
Tuya products work with the "Tuya Smart" app, and may not work with other smart home apps.
