Good to know

• Sent at every open, then in the background, with your phone nearby and the Zepp app running. The Watch sensors screen shows when the last data arrived.
• Declined the request? Allow it in the watch’s own settings (App permissions, or Privacy, then AmazHA), or switch Send to Home Assistant off and on to be asked again.
• A sensor never shows up? Each one is sent only with a valid reading: blood oxygen, stress and body temperature once the watch has measured them, air pressure only on watches with a barometer.
