Newbie - Vue 6250 and the other day got a low battery warning for the transmitter out of the blue (new unit.. 2 months old).
Was previously on ID #1 - we changed the Vue battery and pushed the white button then went back to the house and the unit had flipped to ID #3. We changed the console to match ID 3 and now the console has trouble receiving the signal from the Vue. Thinking we needed to be closer, we took the console to 30' away and noticed better connectivity for like 1 minute then it would stop (no antenna signal on the console main screen). We put the console in settings mode and, 30' away, tried to get a bead on what the ID was and nothing ever showed up. I reset the console (did not put it in settings mode first - ouch) by removing a battery and the power, and fired it back up. Same problem - it would connect for a time or two then never be seen again.
When we do get connectivity, the wind speed is shown on the console but not the temp or humidity - just dashes.
A couple of points -
* wifi strength isn't an issue -- I run an ubiquiti mesh network that can be seen 3/4's of mile down the road.
* It all started with a low battery on transmitter warning.. not that that was the problem, but that perhaps something failed internally which caused the backup battery (CR123) to fail and create the error on the console?
*I have a wifi logger in the console as an FYI.
CONCERN
I can't get the Vue to go into setup mode. The manual says to push the transmitter ID white button and hold it until the green light flashes rapidly but it never does. Instead, the green light flashes one time - pauses - one time -- pauses -- then three flashes -- then pauses - then one time -- pauses -- one time -- pauses -- then three times -- etc in a constant sequence... all the time.
Thank you for any help! My son's hobby is on hold until I can figure this out.
