Setup Overview
Sensor setup is a quick and easy process, with only a couple steps.
- Unboxing and Assembly
- Activation
Unboxing and Assembly
The temperature sensor will arrive in a box containing 2-3 items
- The main sensor body
- An antennae
- An optional light sensor
To assemble the sensor:
- Remove the yellow cap from the sensor main body antennae connection.
- Attach the antennae to the main sensor body.
- Remove the light sensor from its bag and plug it into the bottom of the sensor, removing the blue protective cap.
The sensor is now ready for activation.
Activation
The LHT65N/S has two working modes:
Deep Sleep Mode: The sensor doesn’t have any wireless activation. This mode is used for storage and shipping to save battery life.
Working Mode: In this mode, the sensor will join the network and send out the sensor data to the server.
The sensor is set in deep sleep mode by default; The ACT button on the front is to switch to different modes:
> 3s
Activate Device
A green LED will fast blink 5 times, the sensor will enter working mode and start to join the network. The green LED will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after successfully joining in network.
1-3s
Test Uplink
If the sensor is already joined to the network, it will send data to the server. If there is external sensor connected, such as a light sensor, the LED will blink blue once. If there is no external sensor connected, the LED will blink red once.

Deactivate Device
A red LED will light solid on for 5 seconds. The sensor is entering Deep Sleep Mode, and it will not communicate with the service.
After activating the sensor, data will be sent to the service at regular intervals of 20 minutes.
Configuration
The sensor will be pre-configured and should appear in the proper room as data arrives.
Placement
The sensor can be mounted on a wall using the tabs on the top and bottom. It will work sitting horizontal on a flat surface, but should be mounted permanently on a wall for the most accurate and reliable performance.
Ideally the sensor would be mounted vertically, with the antenna pointing up (if the sensor has an external antenna — not all do). The light sensor comes with double sided tape on the back, which can be used to affix the light sensor in a location on the wall that is not obstructed by anything that would cast a shadow on it.
