Hi. I have an Aqara TVOC sensor that ran out of batteries and now I can’t seem to get it working again. I’ve replaced the batteries but it doesn’t come back to life. Is it possible to break the device by putting the batteries the wrong way?

Nothing happens when I push the button, not even the reset functionality.

Am I SOL with this device, or is there something I can do?

    If I remember right from the last time I replaced those batteries I had to hold down the button for several seconds and then it turned back on and refreshed the screen. From what I can tell I don’t think it automatically turn back on when you replace the batteries like it did when it came out of the box.

        I don’t know anything about your device, but would a factory reset be too much of a hassle?

          How do you do a factory reset? Nothing seems to happen by holding the button for 5-10 seconds. No blink, no change on the display.
