3 Function and device overview

The Homematic IP Weather Sensor offers multiple application in outdoor areas for collecting weather data. The multifunctional sensor offers various application possibilities as it collects almost all relevant weather and climate information:

• temperature,
• humidity,
• wind direction,
• wind velocity,
• onset of rain,
• rainfall volume,
  • brightness (relative) and
  • duration of sunshine.

The data is cyclically transmitted by the weather sensor via radio communication to the Homematic IP app. Thus, you will always have the current values in sight or you can use the measured data information for controlling of other Homematic IP devices (e.g. moving shutters up in case of strong wind or extending awnings during sunshine).

Thanks to the wireless communication and battery operation, the weather sensor can be positioned anywhere and is easy to mount.

Step 4:

- Remove the pipes of the stainless steel mast (I) from the packaging.

- Join the pipes together and position the notch-es of the single pipes on top of each other. The previously assembled weather sensor is fixed to the end of the pipe that is marked with a sticker.

- Place the fully assembled sensor within the potential transmission radius (up to 400 m typically in the open air, with damping caused by building walls taken into account). Choose a free position in which it is possible for rain to fall directly into the rain sensor, but where there is no risk of inaccurate wind measurements caused by nearby buildings, trees, etc.

It may be placed in a sunny location since the temperature sensor is located in a shaded, ventilated area of the housing.

- Push the assembled end of the stainless steel mast (I) into the ground until you are sure that the sensor will be stable.

If the weather sensor topples over, it may cause injury or damage to vehicles and objects.

6 First start-up

6.1 Teaching-in

Please read this entire section before starting the teach-in procedure.

First set up your Homematic IP Access Point via the Homematic IP app to enable operation of other Homematic IP devices within your system. For further information, please refer to the operating manual of the Access Point.

You can connect the device either to the Access Point or to the Homematic Central Control Unit CCU2. For detailed information, please refer to the Homematic IP User Guide, available for download in the download area of www.eQ-3.de.

To teach-in the weather sensor to the Access Point, please proceed as follows:

• Open the Homematic IP app on your smartphone.
• Select the menu item "Teach-in device".
• Loosen the cover of the main sensor (G) by turning the cylinder clockwise and pulling it downwards.
• Insert three 1.5 V LR6/mignon/AA batteries into the battery compartment (L) (see figure 3) to

activate the teach-in mode. The system LED (J) starts flashing. Pairing mode remains activated for 3 minutes.

You can manually start the teach-in mode for another 3 minutes by pressing the system button (K) briefly using a pointed object (see figure 4).

• Your device will automatically appear in the Homematic IP app.
• To confirm, please enter the last four digits of the device number (SGTIN) in your app or scan the QR code. Therefore, please see the sticker supplied or attached to the device.
• Please wait until teach-in is completed.
• If teaching-in was successful, the system LED lights up green. The device is now ready for use.
• If the system LED lights up red, please try again.
• In the app, give the device a name and allocate it to a room.
• Slide the cover from the bottom onto the main sensor and latch it into place by turning it anti-clockwise.

6.2 Alignment of the weathervane

To enable the definition of the wind direction, the weather sensor must be aligned during the first set-up (after teaching-in) so that it is pointing north. To do this, please

proceed as follows:

- Align the weathervane (E) of the weather sensor so that it is pointing north. Therefore, we recommend to use an analogue or electronic compass.

If you need to, you can fix the weathervane in this position using a piece of double-sided adhesive tape on the housing.

• Loosen the cover of the main sensor (G) by turning the cylinder clockwise and pulling it downwards.
• Remove the insulation strip from the battery compartment (L) and insert three new 1.5 V LR6/mignon/AA batteries (if required), observing the correct polarity as indicated by the markings (see fig. 3).
• Press and hold down the system button (K) using a pointed object, e.g. a pen (see fig. 4) until the system LED (J) slowly starts flashing orange.
• Release the system button and press it again shortly to define the northern alignment. The system LED lights up green for confirmation. If the procedure failed, the system LED lights up red. In this case, please check if the device has been mounted correctly and try again.
• If required, remove the adhesive tape from the weathervane.
• Close the housing again by pushing and turning the cover clockwise until it latches into place.

7 Replacing batteries

If an empty battery is displayed via the app or the device (see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 62), replace the used batteries by three new LR6/mignon/AA batteries. You must observe the correct battery polarity.

To replace the batteries of the weather sensor, please proceed as follows:

• Loosen the cover of the main sensor (G) by turning the cylinder clockwise and pulling it downwards.
• Remove the empty batteries from the battery compartment (L).
• Insert three new 1.5 V LR6/mignon/AA batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that you insert them the right way round (see figure 3).
• Close the housing again by pushing and turning the cylinder clockwise until it latches into place.

Once the batteries have been inserted, the weather sensor will perform a self-test (approx. 2 seconds). Afterwards, initialisation is carried out. The LED test display will indicate that initialisation is complete as the system LED (J) lights up orange and green.

Caution! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced correctly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. Never recharge standard batteries. Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Do not short-circuit batteries. Doing so will present a risk of explosion.

Used batteries should not be disposed of with regular domestic waste! Instead, take them to your local battery disposal point.

8 Troubleshooting

8.1 Weak batteries

Provided that the voltage value permits it, the weather sensor will remain ready for operation also if the battery voltage is low. Depending on the particular load, it may be possible to send transmissions again repeatedly, once the batteries have been allowed a brief recovery period.

If the voltage drops too far during transmission, this will be displayed on the device or via the Homematic IP app (see „8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences“ on page 62). In this case, replace the empty batteries by three new batteries (s. „7 Replacing batteries“ on page 59).

8.2 Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the system LED (K) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see „12 General information about radio operation“ on page 71). This may be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
• Receiver is defective.

8.3 Duty cycle

The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.

In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.

During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive teach-in processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long

red lighting of the system LED (J), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

8.4 Error codes and flashing sequences

1x orange and 1 x green lighting	Test display/ system start	Once the test display has stopped, you can continue.

9 Restoring the factory settings

The factory settings of the device can be restored. If you do this, you will lose all your settings.

To restore the factory settings of the weather sensor, please proceed as follows:

- Loosen the cover of the main sensor (G) by turning the cylinder clockwise and pulling it downwards.

- Remove a battery.

- Insert the battery and press and hold down the system button (K) at the same time using a pointed object, e.g. a pen (see fig. 4) until the system LED (J) quickly starts flashing orange.

- Release the system button again.

- Press and hold down the system button again until the system LED lights up green.

- Release the system button to finish restoring of the factory settings.

- Slide the cover from the bottom onto the main sensor and latch it into place by turning it anti-clockwise.

The system LED stops flashing and the device performs a restart. After the restart, you can again integrate your device into your Homematic IP system.

10 Maintenance and cleaning

10.1 General information

This device does not require you to carry out any maintenance other than replacing the battery and cleaning the device when necessary. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any maintenance or repairs.

The weather sensor will need to be cleaned from time to time to remove the dirt that will accumulate on it. When you do this, you should also check that the wind sensor can move easily and that the sensors are properly seated on their supports.

Clean the product using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. You may dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm water in order to remove more stubborn marks. Make sure that no moisture will ingress into the housing. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

Check that your product is safe from a technical point of view (that the housing is not damaged, for example) on a regular basis. If you have reason to believe that it is no longer safe to operate the de-

vice, put it out of service. Remove the battery pack to safeguard the device against unintentional operation.

Safe operation may no longer be possible if the device:

• shows signs of external damage,
- no longer functions,
• has been stored under unfavourable conditions or
- has been exposed to severe transport conditions.

If not used for any length of time (e.g. when in storage), remove the batteries to avoid damages caused by leaking, etc.

10.2 Cleaning the rain sensor

Depending on the location, leaves, dirt particles transported by the wind, sand, branches, etc., may get into the rain sensor's (A) collecting funnel (B). Larger items may block the flow of rainwater. Sand can also accumulate in the counter rocker: as the amount increases, this causes the measurement results to be less accurate. Consequently, the rain sensor must be cleaned from time to time; this must be done at least once a year, however.

- Loosen the collecting funnel of the rain sensor by slightly turning it clockwise and lift it off.

- Loosen the cover of the rain sensor by slightly turning it clockwise and slide it down.

- Detach the rain sensor from above, move it to the side with the cable and remove the counter rocker.

- Clean the collecting funnel, contacts, counter rocker and drain hole in the bottom of the housing to remove any residues.

- Place the counter rocker back in its holder. In doing so, the counter rocker magnet must be at the side facing the cable.

11 Information regarding the brightness sensor

You can use the collected values of the brightness sensor for controlling other Homematic IP devices. For example, your shutters can be moved down in case of strong sunlight in connection with a Homematic IP Shutter Actuator. Or your awning is extended in case of sunshine offering sun protection while you are on the terrace. The detected brightness of the brightness sensor is displayed in the Homematic IP app on a scale from 0-100,000. The higher the value, the brighter it is. The value is used only for orientation and is not equal to brightness in lux.

12 General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

Hereby, eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Str. 29, 26789 Leer/Germany declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmlP-SWO-PR is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.eq-3.com
