Using the LookiLife App
The LookiLife app extends the functionality of your weather station, allowing you to:
- View real-time indoor and outdoor data from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Access detailed 5-day weather forecasts.
- Set alarms (e.g., for temperature thresholds).
- Manage multiple Looki devices if you have them.
Placement of the Outdoor Sensor
For accurate outdoor readings, consider the following for sensor placement:
- Place the sensor in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, to prevent inaccurate temperature readings due to solar radiation.
- Ensure it is protected from direct rain and snow.
- Position it within the 150-meter wireless range of the main display unit. Obstacles like thick walls can reduce this range.
- Avoid placing it near heat sources (e.g., vents, exhaust fans) or cold sources (e.g., air conditioning units).

A note at the bottom mentions that range and synchronization time can be affected by local conditions.
Maintenance
Cleaning
- Wipe the display unit and outdoor sensor with a soft, damp cloth.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical agents, as these may damage the surfaces.
- Ensure no liquid enters the device openings.
