kind of a silly question..
The extra sensor that they give you, is that meant to be used inside your house, outside somewhere, or anywhere you want?
Is that extra sensor "necessary" for all the readings to show up properly on the console, or, is it just an "added location" that you can use if you want to?
thanks!
You can put it anywhere within range. However it shows on the display as Indoor Temp and Humidity. It also has the barometric pressure sensor in it, so yea it's needed. I initially thought is was a dumb idea, but having the sensor external from the display has several benefits. You don't get any stray heat from the display causing any inaccurate reading. Also you don't have to worry about where the display sits causing temp issues. I have my display near a furnace outlet and that would through off the readings.
I have two additional sensors that I put in my fridges. The nice thing is you can edit what the display names them. The only issue is the web/app do not allow you to edit them. They show up there as Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 and the alerts that come for them have Sensor 1 or 2 in the email. It's the only thing so far I have found that slightly irritates me. Other than that it is a great system.
I have the sensors setup to scroll;
