When your station resets it will look for all sensors. Allow at least ten minutes to reacquire
the sensors.
Note: If operating connected, you will need to reconnect to Wi-Fi from the app.
DASHES TEMP/HUMIDITY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR SHOW
DASHES ON THE STATION?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the outdoor sensor.
•
My first thought is always to check that my
are good. If it has been working and
now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem.
•
distance, resistance and interference
. If everything was working previously
at the same location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on
trees or bushes that cause another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well
through foliage due to the moisture content.
•
Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path
for the sensor. If this occurs try moving your station a few feet or turning the station 90
degrees for a better angle to receive the sensor signal.
•
When you have good batteries, and good location, press and release the SENSOR button
until you see your sensor ID. Hold the PLUS (+) button for 3 seconds and your station will
search for your individual sensor.
•
If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain connection,
bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and search again.
WHY DOESN’T THE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS
ON MY STATION MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT?
•
Your temperature and humidity readings are from you sensor at your location. Your local
reporting station can be miles away so readings will differ.
TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ
INACCURATELY?
•
The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. If your sensor reads high during the day
•
Side-by-side test: Bring the thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to your
station for 2 hours.
•
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to
be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within tolerance.
•
If the sensor reads correctly when next to your station then try a different location outside.
•
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat that may
cause inaccurate readings.
•
Press and release the SENSOR button to view the sensor ID number. Compare to the
barcode on your sensor to be sure they match.
•
If your temperature is reading low, and location is not an issue, you may have a bad sensor.
