Have a SmartHub connected to a 5-in-1 (Model VN1TXCX2) along with three additional temperature/humidity sensors placed in other locations. My indoor display (Model 01512) and My AcuRite software have been working great for 5 years.
Recently my 5-in-1 started acting up as it was displaying temperatures way too hot. I suspected the fan was clogged so I took it apart and cleaned it. It was good for a couple of days. Then it started reading -40 for a while. Then it lost connection to my display but was connected to the SmartHub still displaying -40. Changing batteries didn’t fix it. Tried several things including taking it apart and cleaning it again (looking for corrosion), hard reset on the display, new batteries in the display, changing channels, etc. After all that it now connects to the display but only at -40 degrees and none of the other onboard sensors such as wind or rain seem to work. The My AcuRite software does recognize it (under Setting) as a device so I can add it to the SmartHub, but it shows red (not connected) in the Dashboard and on the app.
Okay, it’s been running for 5 years. Time for a new one. Ordered a new 5-in-1 (Model VN1TXCX2). Add batteries and set on the proper channel. Connects to the display and the SmartHub. But it is still -40. Wind and rain sensors seem to work. The SmartHub is not pushing the data to the internet and Weather Underground however. Light on the SmartHub is blue – it’s connected. Weather Underground says I’m offline. Internet is working fine or I wouldn’t have been able to send this.
I’m lost. What’s next?
