Produk Selesaiview

This high-precision wireless weather sensor operates at a 433.92 MHz RF frequency, offering a transmission range of up to 100 meters in open-air environments for flexible placement. It accurately measures temperatures from -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F) and humidity levels between 1%RH and 99%, ensuring reliable climate monitoring. The sensor automatically pairs with compatible WiFi Smart Weather Stations (B0BMG2XVDN) but cannot operate independently. Featuring a compact, portable design with a hanging rope, it is suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications. With three RF channels, users can monitor multiple locations simultaneously. Powered by two AA batteries (sold separately), this sensor provides a wire-free, hassle-free installation for continuous and accurate weather tracking.

Panduan Persediaan

1. Pemasangan Bateri

The RainPoint Wireless Weather Sensor requires two AA batteries (not included). To install the batteries:

  1. Buka penutup petak bateri di bahagian belakang sensor.
  2. Masukkan dua bateri AA, pastikan kekutuban yang betul (+ dan -).
  3. Tutup penutup petak bateri dengan selamat.

After battery installation, the sensor's red light will flash, indicating it has entered matching mode.

2. App Installation and Account Creation (for compatible WiFi Smart Weather Station)

This sensor works exclusively with a compatible WiFi Smart Weather Station (e.g., B0BMG2XVDN) and its associated mobile application. The following video demonstrates the process of installing the "HomGar" app and creating an account, which is a prerequisite for using your weather station hub and connecting this sensor.

Video 1: BALDR APP Controlled Wi-Fi Weather Station Hub Setup. This video guides you through downloading the HomGar app, creating an account, and logging in, which are essential steps before pairing your weather station hub and sensor.

3. Pairing the Weather Station Hub with the App

The sensor communicates with a main WiFi Smart Weather Station Hub. The hub needs to be connected to your home WiFi network via the app. The video above also demonstrates this process. Ensure your hub is powered on and close to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router.

  1. Open the HomGar app and tap the "+" icon on the home page to add a device.
  2. Select the "Display Hub" from the list of devices.
  3. Enter your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network password. (Note: This hub only works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. If you have a dual-band router, ensure 2.4 GHz is enabled and smart connect is disabled).
  4. On the weather station hub, press and hold the `+ / Wi-Fi` button for 5 seconds until "SCAN" is displayed.
  5. The app will automatically search for and pair with the hub. Confirm the device when found.

If the Smart WiFi connection fails, you can try the AP connection mode. In the app, tap "Switch Mode" to enter AP Mode. Then, on the hub, hold the `+ / Wi-Fi` button for 5 seconds until "SCAN AP" is displayed. Connect your phone to the device's Wi-Fi hotspot (usually named "HomGar_XXXX") and then return to the app to complete pairing.

4. Pairing the Wireless Weather Sensor with the Hub

Once your WiFi Smart Weather Station Hub is successfully connected to the app, you can add the wireless sensor.

  1. In the HomGar app, navigate to the hub's device page.
  2. Select "Sub-devices" and then choose "Thermo-Hygro Sensor" to add.
  3. Ensure the sensor has fresh batteries installed (as per step 1). The sensor's red light should be flashing, indicating it's in matching mode.
  4. The gateway (hub) will automatically search for and pair with the sensor.
  5. Once paired, the sensor's data (temperature and humidity) will appear in the app.

Operasi

The RainPoint Wireless Weather Sensor continuously measures temperature and humidity. Data is transmitted wirelessly to your paired WiFi Smart Weather Station Hub, which then sends it to the HomGar mobile application.

  • Pemantauan masa nyata: View current temperature and humidity readings directly on your weather station hub's display and within the HomGar app.
  • Sejarah Data: The app provides charts and historical data, allowing you to track climate changes over time.
  • Multi-location Monitoring: With three RF channels, you can connect multiple sensors to your hub to monitor different indoor or outdoor locations simultaneously.
  • Penghantaran Jarak Jauh: The sensor offers a transmission range of up to 100 meters in open-air environments, providing flexibility in placement.

Penyelenggaraan

  • Penggantian Bateri: Replace the two AA batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the hub or app to ensure continuous operation.
  • penempatan: While designed to withstand extreme weather, it is recommended to place the sensor under a cover and away from direct sunlight. This protects the sensor from potential heat sources and precipitation, contributing to more accurate readings and extended device life.
  • Pembersihan: Lap sensor dengan lembut, damp cloth as needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.

Hab tidak bersambung ke Wi-Fi.
  • Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. 5 GHz networks are not supported.
  • Semak kata laluan Wi-Fi anda untuk ketepatannya.
  • Ensure the hub is close enough to your Wi-Fi router.
  • If using a dual-band router, disable "smart connect" or separate the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
  • Try the AP connection mode as described in the "Pairing the Weather Station Hub with the App" section.
Bacaan suhu/kelembapan tidak tepat.
  • Relocate the sensor to a shaded area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., concrete, metal surfaces).
  • Ensure the sensor is protected from direct rain or excessive moisture.
  • Check battery levels; low batteries can sometimes affect accuracy.
No data displayed in the app.
  • Verify the hub is online and connected to your Wi-Fi.
