3.3 Outdoor Transmitter Placement
The weather station can connect to up to 3 outdoor transmitters. For optimal performance:
- Place the outdoor transmitter in a shaded, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and rain.
- Ensure the transmitter is within range of the main weather station. Thick walls (e.g., old stone walls) may reduce signal strength.
- The station will automatically detect and connect to the outdoor transmitter.

- Placement: Ensure the outdoor sensor remains in a protected location to prolong its lifespan and accuracy.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty connecting to Wi-Fi / App pairing issues | Incorrect Wi-Fi frequency (5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz); weak signal; incorrect app steps. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network and your smartphone is connected to it during setup. Move the station closer to the router. Follow app instructions carefully. |
| Outdoor sensor signal loss or inaccurate readings | Obstructions (thick walls); too far from main unit; low battery in sensor; direct sunlight/rain exposure. | Relocate the outdoor sensor closer to the main unit or to a location with fewer obstructions. Replace sensor batteries. Ensure the sensor is in a shaded, protected area. |
| Display is too dim or goes black in low light | Automatic brightness sensor calibration issue; sensor blocked. | Ensure the light sensor on the device is not obstructed. While the brightness is automatic, check if there are any settings in the app to adjust sensitivity or override. |
| Weather forecasts are not precise or location-specific | Forecast data source limitations; location settings in app. | The station relies on external data sources via the app. Ensure your location services are enabled and correctly set within the Smart Life/Tuya app for the most relevant forecasts. Forecasts are general and may not be hyper-local. |
