Parameters can be controlled independently – just temperature or just humidity either manually
or automatically and relays monitored remotely.

3.3 Temperature/humidity data logger

QK-W017 can monitor and record the temperature/humidity values at the sensors by setting the
interval times and ticking the boxes at ‘Data log every xx seconds’ on the ‘Check Terminals’
page. The minimum sample time interval is 5 minutes for the mobile Android/iOS application.

The APP will start to collect the temperature/humidity information from the control terminals
through the QK-W017. This information is shown in the received message field on the data log
page as illustrated in Fig.12.
