Smoke sensor
The smoke detector supported by Viva is supplied by Fibaro, an optical smoke sensor with EN 14604:2005 compliance.
Temperature sensor
This device also embeds a temperature sensor which report temperature every time it detects a change of 0.5 degrees, and this value is used in combination with any other temperature value in the home.
If more than one sensor is present in the same room, the displayed temperature in the app will show the sum average.
This value can be calibrated by the user in the settings menu of the device, ir order to adapt to the real temperature in the room. If this device is the only one in a room, the app will display it with the temperature value.
