  1. Open KBeacon Pro on your smartphone.

  2. Scan for nearby BLE devices.

  3. Select the ZenTemp beacon to verify:

    • Device is broadcasting

    • Temperature readings are reasonable

    • Humidity readings are present

    • Battery level is sufficient

6. Step 4 – Linking to ZenduOne

  1. Log in to ZenduOne.
