All displayed units will automatically convert when adjusting this setting. CLOCK SETTING Adjusts the current clock time. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the time. Once you cycle through 12:00 each time, the units will automatically change to AM or PM. The clock time is located at the lower left corner of the display.
PROGRAMMING CALIBRATION TEMPERATURE SETTING Adjusts the temperature reading the sensor probe is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the value by 2°F (or 1°C) increments. The calibration cycle ranges from -20°F to 20°F (or -10°C to 10°C) and will be applied to the sensor probe’s measurements. CALIBRATION HUMIDITY SETTING Adjusts the relative humidity reading the sensor probe is measuring. Press the up or down button to increase or decrease the data figure by 1% increments.
PROGRAMMING BUFFER SETTING This setting modifies AUTO Mode programming by creating a buffer for temperature and humidity triggers. This sets a different trigger-off point for the triggers, generating an on and off band that prevents the device from triggering too quickly from small climate fluctuations. You can set a buffer figure for temperature triggers, and a buffer figure for humidity triggers. The buffer figure affects high triggers differently than low triggers.
PROGRAMMING BUFFER SETTING (LOW TEMPERATURE TRIGGERS) For Low Temperature Triggers, this buffer figure will create a trigger-off point above your set trigger point. For example, if you had set the Low Temperature Trigger at 50°F and set the Temperature Buffer at 4°F. Then your device will trigger on when it meets or falls below 50°F, and only trigger off when it rises above 54°F. The 54°F figure is obtained by taking your Low Temperature Trigger of 50°F and adding your temperature buffer of 4°F.
PROGRAMMING BUFFER SETTING (HIGH HUMIDITY TRIGGERS) For High Humidity Triggers, this buffer figure will create a trigger-off point below your set trigger point. For example, if you had set a High Humidity Trigger at 70% and set a Humidity Buffer at 4%. Then your device will trigger on when it meets or rises above 70%, and only trigger off when it falls below 66%. The 66% figure is obtained by taking your High Humidity Trigger of 70% and subtracting your Humidity Buffer of 4%.
PROGRAMMING BUFFER SETTING (LOW HUMIDITY TRIGGERS) For Low Humidity Triggers, this buffer figure will create a trigger-off point above your set trigger point. For example, if you had set the Low Buffer Trigger at 40% and set the Humidity Buffer at 6%. Then your device will trigger on when it meets or falls below 40%, and only trigger off when it rises above 46%. The 46%F figure is obtained by taking your Low Humidity Trigger of 40% and adding your humidity buffer of 6%.
PROGRAMMING ALERT / STATUS ICONS On the top left of the display is the alert icon section. Icons may flash when the controller wishes to alert you that a particular function or alarm is being triggered. ADVANCE PROGRAMMING Displays when an advance program set in the app is active. "ADV." will appear and override the controller if an automation program is in use.
PROGRAMMING BLUETOOTH Appears when the physical controller is connected to the app via Bluetooth. DISPLAY LOCK ALERT Displays when you lock the controller. The icon will flash and beep if you attempt to adjust the controller while it is still locked. TEMPERATURE/ HUMIDITY ALARM Flashes and beeps with alarm if the temperature/ humidity meet the trigger point set in the app.

FAQ Q: Where is the best place to position the sensor probe? A: Place the sensor probe as close as possible to the hottest or most humid spot in your space. Q: Do I need to remove the plastic cap from the probe? A: Yes. You will need to remove the plastic cap so the probe can accurately read climate conditions. Q: Is this outlet controller waterproof? A: No, it does not have any Ingress protection against water and dust. Place this controller in a dry location to ensure proper operation.
FAQ Q: How do I stop my device from turning on and off too quickly in AUTO mode? A: The figure set in the BUFFER section will determine how easily the device can turn off again once it has been triggered on. Access this section under SETTINGS by clicking the sprocket icon at the top right. Set a buffer number X. Once your device is triggered ON, it would require X amount to fall below your trigger point for it to trigger OFF again.
