5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Outdoor Sensor

Periodically inspect and clean the outdoor sensor to ensure accurate readings. Dust, dirt, or debris can accumulate on the rain collector, wind cups, and solar panel. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

5.2 Battery Check

While the outdoor sensor is solar-powered, it relies on rechargeable batteries for continuous operation during low light conditions. Check the battery status periodically via the indoor display or app. Replace batteries if they no longer hold a charge effectively.

5.3 Solar Panel Orientation

Ensure the solar panel on the outdoor sensor remains oriented to receive maximum direct sunlight throughout the day. Adjust its angle if necessary due to seasonal changes or new obstructions.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Wi-Fi Signal / Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure the indoor display unit is powered on and within range of your Wi-Fi router.
  • Verify your Wi-Fi network credentials in the Smart Life app.
  • Restart both the display unit and your Wi-Fi router.
  • If issues persist, try re-pairing the device with the Smart Life app.
• Outdoor Sensor Not Transmitting Data:
  • Check the batteries in the outdoor sensor.
  • Ensure the outdoor sensor and indoor display unit are within the 150m transmission range and there are no significant obstructions (e.g., thick walls, large metal structures) between them.
  • Restart both units.
• Inaccurate Rain Level Readings:
  • Inspect the rain collector for any debris (leaves, dirt, insects) that might be blocking the tipping bucket mechanism.
  • Ensure the sensor is level. An unlevel installation can affect rain measurement accuracy.
  • Refer to the advanced settings in the display unit or app for any calibration options, if available.
• Display Not Turning On / Blank Screen:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the display unit and a working power outlet.
  • Check if the power outlet is functional.
  • If using backup batteries, ensure they are correctly installed and charged.
