ByteStar Help Center
For: households and organizations using the ByteStar App (web or mobile)

Learn how to link kits, share spaces, monitor sensors, control actuators, build dashboards, run scenes, schedules, and automations, and manage your plan.
Home after you sign in — device status, quick actions, scenes, and pinned dashboards.

Who can do what?
Most guides assume you signed in as a normal account member. Actions that only ByteStar staff can perform (for example defining new hardware types in the catalog) are not covered here — contact support if you need that.
