Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Sensor not connecting to Wi-Fi / Frequent disconnectionsIncorrect Wi-Fi password; Sensor too far from router; 5GHz Wi-Fi network; Weak Wi-Fi signal; Router issues.Ensure correct 2.4GHz Wi-Fi password. Move sensor closer to router. Confirm router is broadcasting 2.4GHz. Restart router. Re-pair device in Geeni app.
Inaccurate temperature/humidity readingsSensor placed near heat/cold source; Sensor exposed to direct sunlight or drafts; Sensor malfunction.Relocate sensor to a neutral area away from direct environmental influences. Compare readings with another calibrated device. If issue persists, contact support.
Short battery lifeLow quality batteries; Frequent data updates (if configurable); Extreme temperatures.Use high-quality alkaline AAA batteries. Check Geeni app settings for data reporting frequency and adjust if possible to conserve battery. Ensure sensor is within operating temperature range.
Cannot add device to appSensor not in pairing mode; Incorrect Wi-Fi network (not 2.4GHz); App issues.Ensure sensor is flashing for pairing. Verify phone is on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Restart app and try again.
