Frequently Asked Questions - BAR228 OREGON SCIENTIFIC

How to pair the Weather+ sensor with my smartphone?

Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone. Open the Weather+ app, press 'Start Device Search', then hold the sensor's main button for 2 seconds until the LED blinks blue. Select the sensor from the list of available devices and confirm with OK.

What to do if the sensor does not turn on?

Check that the batteries are inserted correctly respecting the polarities (+/-). If the problem persists, press the RESET button with a thin object or remove/replace the batteries. The sensor turns on automatically after inserting batteries, the LED blinks green 4 times.

How to interpret the LED flashes?

Green 4 times: power on. Red 4 times: power off. Blue for 30 sec: pairing mode. Light blue once: data refresh. Red twice per hour: low batteries.

Why are live data not updating?

Wait a few seconds after touching the refresh icon. Check that the sensor is within Bluetooth range (30 m max) and no thick obstacles block the signal. If you just touched the icon, wait 15 seconds before trying again.

What is the maximum Bluetooth range?

The range is about 30 meters in open space. Thick walls or large furniture can reduce this range. Move your smartphone closer to the sensor if necessary.

How many sensors can I connect to the app?

You can pair up to 20 Weather+ sensors (models EM221 or BAR228) on a single app. To avoid interference, keep sensors away from each other.

How to change the room type associated with a sensor?

In the app, go to Device Settings, tap on the current room type, select a new room from the list (e.g., living room, bedroom, etc.), and confirm with OK.

What to do if the red LED flashes twice per hour?

This indicates low battery level. Replace the batteries with new AAA alkaline batteries as soon as possible to avoid data loss. After changing, open the app and reconnect the sensor if necessary.

How to reset the sensor?

Use a thin object (paperclip) to press the RESET button located inside the battery compartment. The sensor will restart and you will need to re-pair it with your smartphone.

Where to download the Weather+ app?

The app is available for free on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). Search for 'Weather+ by Oregon Scientific' in the app store.
