The checklist
- Use the same watch every time; different models and sensor positions give different numbers.
- Pull your sleeve back so it does not cover the sensor.
- Hold your wrist level and facing up at the height you care about, such as the desk or the plant leaves.
- Stand so your body does not cast a shadow on the watch.
- Pick one unit, lux or foot-candles, and stick with it in your notes.
- Choose the mode that matches the situation: desk, reading, plant, photo, outdoor or evening.
- Wait a second for the live number to settle before you hold it.
- For a whole room, run a session and record the min, max and average instead of a single spot.
- If you have a trusted reference meter, set the calibration once and leave it alone afterwards.
- Check at the same time of day when comparing days, since daylight changes the result.
- Before trusting the Tile, check its freshness status; it shows the last saved reading, not a live one.
Questions
Is it accurate enough to compare spots in my own home?
Yes, as a rough guide. Use the same watch and hold your wrist the same way for each spot, since angle and shadows change the number.
Source: play.google.comWill the Tile drain my battery by measuring all day?
No. The Tile and complication do not keep polling the sensor in the background; they show the last reading the app saved.
Source: play.google.comCan I use it to check a grow light?
Yes. Plant placement and grow-light checks are listed uses, and there is a plant mode. Treat the number as a rough guide.
Source: play.google.comWill two different watches give the same number?
Not always. Readings depend on the watch model and where its sensor sits, so two watches can disagree in the same spot.
Source: play.google.comIs there a watch face complication?
Yes. A complication on your watch face shows the latest reading you saved in the app.
Source: play.google.comDoes holding a reading stop the live meter?
No. The held number stays on screen while the live meter keeps measuring next to it.
