3 Function and device overview
The Homematic IP Temperature and Humidity Sensor
– outdoor, anthracite measures the temperature and
humidity in outdoor areas. The measured values are
transferred cyclically to the Homematic IP Access Point
as well as to the Homematic IP app. Take a look at the
homescreen of the app and you will be informed about
the temperature as well as the current humidity.
Thanks to the radio communication and battery operation,
the device is highly flexible where mounting and selecting
a mounting location are concerned.
Mounting and removal are particularly easy using the
screws and plugs supplied.

5.1 General notes on installation
When mounting the temperature and humidity
sensor, please ensure that it is not installed
directly on or in the vicinity of large metal objects
(heaters, aluminium clad walls, etc.), as this would
reduce the wireless range.
Select an installation site at which you can access
the device for maintenance.
