5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SONOFF BMT01, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not powering on. | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries. | Replace batteries with new AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Check if the battery insulation sheet has been removed. |
| Cannot connect to eWeLink app. | Wi-Fi/Bluetooth issues, incorrect password, device too far from router/phone. | Ensure phone's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on. Verify Wi-Fi password. Move device closer to router/phone. Restart the thermometer and try pairing again. Ensure you are using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. |
| Inaccurate temperature readings. | Probe not fully inserted, damaged probe, or probe not calibrated (though typically not user-calibrated). | Ensure probes are fully inserted into the meat and the thermometer unit. Check probes for visible damage. Test probes in boiling water (212°F/100°C) or ice water (32°F/0°C) for approximate accuracy. |
| No alerts received. | App notifications disabled, device not connected, or target temperature not set. | Check app notification settings on your phone. Ensure the thermometer is connected to the app. Verify that a target temperature has been set for the active probe. |
If the problem persists, please contact SONOFF customer support for further assistance.
