Note for wireless sensors:
If a wireless sensor mote goes
offline from the network for 30 minutes, the station will
automatically connect to HOBOlink to report the missing mote
regardless of any alarm settings in place. Unless the mote has
no battery power, it will continue logging data even if it is
offline from the network. Once the mote is back online, any
logged data will be uploaded during regular connections to
HOBOlink.
Note:
Once a mote is back online, it enters recovery
mode as HOBOlink receives the data logged while it was offline.
During this period of recovery, data for that mote will
temporarily be unavailable for data delivery, dashboards, and
data feeds. See the HOBOlink help for additional details.

An alarm symbol will also appear on the LCD.
Alarms for HOBOlink calculated channels (such as dew point)
are checked at the connection interval for the station. This is
because calculated channels are generated from data uploaded
at each connection interval.
Accumulated rain alarms are triggered by the station as soon as
the alarm conditions are met. The alarm will remain tripped for
one accumulation interval after the trip. For example, if you set
the alarm to trip for 2 inches of rainfall accumulated in 4 hours,
