Written by Alex S

The Light, Humidity, and Temperature Sensor monitors your home environment and transmits measured illuminance (lux), humidity, and temperature data to the Abode hub.

Features

Environmental Monitoring

The sensor measures illuminance, humidity, and temperature and transmits readings to the Abode hub on the following schedule:

• Illuminance reading: transmitted every 30 minutes.

• Humidity and temperature reading: transmitted every 10 minutes.

The sensor also transmits automatically when any of the following thresholds are crossed:

• Temperature changes by +/- 2 degrees C.

• Humidity changes by +/- 10%.

• Illuminance changes by +/- 10%.

TIP

You can press the Function button once at any time to manually transmit the current reading.

Battery and Low Battery Detection

The sensor features a low battery detection function. When battery voltage is low, a low battery signal is sent to the Abode hub and you will be notified.

When changing the battery, remove the old battery and press the Function button twice to fully discharge before inserting a new battery. If low battery voltage is detected when the new battery is inserted, the LED indicator will flash 5 times.

Supervision

The sensor transmits a supervision signal regularly to report its condition. The factory default interval is 30 minutes and is a fixed setting.
