6. Placement

For optimal performance and accurate readings, consider the following placement guidelines:

• Place the device in a central location within the room you wish to monitor.
• Ensure the solar panel on top is exposed to sufficient light for continuous operation.
• Avoid placing the device near heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight through a window) or cold drafts (e.g., air conditioning vents, open windows) as this can affect accuracy.
• Keep it away from areas with high moisture or direct water exposure.
