Temperature and Humidity shows "--"Updated 12 days ago

Q: The outdoor data displayed on the console (temperature/humidity/Feels Like/Dew Point) is showing as "--°", while other data is displaying normally. What should I do?

A: This issue is likely due to a malfunctioning temperature and humidity sensor module. To confirm and troubleshoot the problem, please follow the steps below:

  1. Open the outdoor sensor array:
    Unscrew the screws at the bottom of the radiation shield and open the housing. Carefully remove the temperature and humidity sensor module.

  2. Check for other sensor data:
    Observe whether other sensor data (e.g., wind, rain, UV/light) are displaying normally on the console.

    • If all outdoor data is missing, press the reset button on the outdoor sensor (refer to the transmitter manual for its location).

    • If only temperature and humidity are missing, try unplugging and replugging the sensor module.

  3. Note for some users:
    A few users have reported that when temperature and humidity readings are missing, the UV and light readings may also disappear at the same time. This could indicate a broader issue with the sensor module or internal circuitry.

  4. If the temperature/humidity still shows “--°”:
    It is likely that the sensor module is defective.

  5. Next steps:

    • If your product is still under warranty, please take a clear photo of the sensor module and send it to us for support.

    • If the warranty has expired, before you purchase a replacement module, please take a clear photo of the sensor module to double-check when you are unsure that:
