Aqara Climate Sensor W100 Setup Guide

Aqara Climate Sensor W100

  • Tools required:
    • Smartphone or tablet with a recent OS version
    • Small screwdriver (for access to battery compartment or mounting bracket, if present)
    • Adhesive mounting strips or screws and appropriate wall plugs (optional, for permanent mounting)
    • Clean, dry cloth for placement surface preparation
  • Applications:
    • Aqara, DigIoT or vendor-supplied app for initial setup and device management (check device packaging or documentation)
    • Home automation or hub application where the sensor will be integrated (exact compatible platforms: not specified)
    • Generic tools: a web browser or mobile app to view logs and configure automations (specific integrations: not specified)

  • Unpack and inspect: Remove the sensor from its packaging and confirm the unit is undamaged. Check the box for any quick-start card or printed instructions from the manufacturer (DigIoT/Aqara).
  • Powering the sensor: The sensor requires internal power (battery type not specified). Locate the battery compartment, open it using the method shown on the device (push tab, unscrew cover or slide open), install batteries observing polarity markings, then replace the compartment cover. If the device arrived with factory-installed batteries, confirm they are seated correctly.
  • Check connectivity details: Connectivity is not specified for this product. Before attempting to pair, check the product label, packaging or included documentation to determine whether the sensor uses Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread or another radio and whether a gateway/hub is required.
  • Prepare the app or hub: Install the vendor app (Aqara/DigIoT) or your chosen smart‑home hub application on your smartphone or tablet. Create or sign in to your account, and make sure the hub or gateway (if required) is powered on and connected to your local network.
  • Put the sensor into pairing mode: Follow the manufacturer's pairing instructions. Common methods include pressing and holding a small button on the sensor, or briefly removing then reinserting the battery. If the exact method is not printed on the unit, consult the supplied quick-start guide or the vendor app. Because connectivity is not specified, follow the sequence required for the identified radio (app direct pairing for Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi; hub pairing for Zigbee/Thread).
  • Use the app to add the device: In the app, choose the option to add a new device, select the sensor type if listed, and follow on-screen prompts. Allow location, Bluetooth or network permissions if requested by the app. Wait for the app to confirm successful pairing before proceeding.
  • Verify readings: Once paired, view temperature and humidity readings in the app. Allow the sensor to settle for at least 10–30 minutes in its intended location to ensure stable measurements. Confirm values are plausible for the environment.
  • Place or mount the sensor: Choose an indoor location away from direct sunlight, cooking appliances, heaters, air-conditioning vents and open windows to avoid skewed readings. Place on a stable flat surface or use adhesive/screws for wall mounting per the mounting accessories supplied or chosen. Avoid very humid areas (e.g. inside shower enclosures).
  • Name and configure: In the app, assign a clear name and room/location. Configure any thresholds, notifications or automations (for example, trigger ventilation when humidity rises above a set point). Confirm automations by simulating a condition where practical.
  • Check for firmware updates: Use the app to check whether the sensor has available firmware updates and apply them if advised. Do this after initial pairing and before final installation where possible.
  • Testing and troubleshooting: If the sensor does not appear in the app, try the following: confirm batteries are correctly installed and have charge; move the sensor closer to the smartphone or hub during pairing; power‑cycle the hub; consult the vendor documentation for a factory-reset procedure (method not specified). If intermittent reporting occurs, check for radio interference or range issues and consider relocating the hub or the sensor.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check battery level in the app (if reported) or replace batteries as recommended by the manufacturer. Keep the sensor free of dust and avoid wet cleaning; use a dry cloth.
  • Support and documentation: For device-specific pairing, reset, battery type and exact connectivity details, consult the printed documentation included with the product or the manufacturer's support resources. Compatibility with third‑party hubs or integrations is not specified in this guide and should be verified prior to installation.
