Tips and troubleshooting 1 How does it all work? 1.1 How does it all work? The outdoor module (small) wirelessly sends its measurements to the indoor module (large) using a radio signal. Using your Wi-Fi access point, the indoor module then sends both its own measurements and the outdoor module's measurements to your personal online Netatmo account. When you launch the Netatmo App, those measurements are downloaded from your personal Netatmo account and displayed by the App. 2 Con guration setup 2.
2.2 Con guring with a computer (Mac/Windows/Linux) When you con gure your Netatmo Weather Station with a computer, the weather station is not connected to the wall adapter. It is only connected to the computer using the provided USB cable (USB to micro-USB). No additional cable is needed. 3 Power supply 3.1 Indoor module The indoor module is powered by the USB wall adapter and USB cable. When plugged-in, the indoor module should light up green.
3.2 Outdoor and Additional indoor module The outdoor module and additional indoor module are powered by AAA Alkaline batteries. Upon introducing the batteries, the light of the module should light up green.

4 Measurements on demand 4.1 Measurements on demand Touching the top button of the indoor module instantly triggers the measurement process. Updated data is then sent directly to your devices. 4.2 Direct CO2 reading When measuring on demand, the indoor module displays the CO2 level using the following color code: - Green = Good - Yellow = Could be improved - Red = Room should be ventilated.
5 No outdoor data? 5.1 Outdoor data is not displayed? If your outdoor module's data is not displayed on the Netatmo dashboard, although indoor measurements are still visible, the link between the two modules might not be working. This may occur due to one of the following reasons: 5.2 Reason 1: Batteries are low Check the outdoor module's batteries. When inserting batteries, the outdoor module should ash green. If you are unsure whether your batteries still work, replace them. 5.
5.4 Reason 3: Too close to the indoor module If the outdoor module is too close to the indoor module (a few centimeters/inches) it may not operate properly. 6 No data at all? 6.1 Missing measurements The Netatmo App dashboard is not displaying any measurements? This may be due to one of the following reasons: 6.2 Reason 1: Power supply is out The indoor module may not be connected to the power source. Unplug the wall-adapter and plug it back in: the indoor module should light up green.
6.3 Reason 2: Wi-Fi signal is too weak If the indoor module is located too far away from your Wi-Fi router, or separated by solid obstacles such as concrete walls, the station might not be able to transmit data correctly. In that case, make sure to bring the indoor module closer to your Wi-Fi router or access point.
6.4 Reason 3: Wi-Fi password has changed If you have changed your Wi-Fi password, the Netatmo weather station won't be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network and upload data to your account. Fix your Station's Wi-Fi setup. 6.5 Reason 4: Internet access is down The Netatmo Station can access your Wi-Fi router, but your internet access is not working. If this occurs, please check your internet access. 7 Advanced troubleshooting 7.
You can also read it directly from your stations' setting menu. 8 Additional indoor modules 8.1 What are additional indoor modules? You can add indoor modules to your Netatmo Weather Station. They don't work separatly and need the Netatmo Station to operate. They measure temperature, humidity and CO2, and allow you to monitor one more room in your house. You can add up to 3 additional indoor modules to your Netatmo Weather Station. 8.
9 Additional rain gauge module 9.1 What is the additional rain gauge module? You can add an additional rain gauge module to your Netatmo Weather Station. It does not work separatly and need the Netatmo Station to operate. It allows you to monitor rain fall. You can add only one rain gauge module to your Netatmo Weather Station. 9.
Minimum and maximum temperatures are the highest and lowest temperatures measured during 24 hours, from midnight to midnight. 10.3 Feels like temperature Your Netatmo Dashboard displays a feels like temperature. This is computed data, obtained by adding the combined e ect of moisture and wind over human perception of heat and cold.
10.6 Wise steps for accurate temperature measurements You will improve the accuracy of your temperature measurements by protecting your modules from exposure to direct sunlight. Also, measurements on demand, when used frequently, trigger the indoor module's lights, which may arti cially increase the measured temperature. 11 Barometer 11.1 Pressure measurement Mean sea level pressure is measured by the indoor module. 11.
11.5 Did you know? The indoor and outdoor barometric pressure is always the same. For that reason, the barometer sensor is located in the indoor module only. 12 Hygrometer 12.1 Relative humidity measurement Relative humidity is measured by both indoor and outdoor modules. 12.2 Did you know? Dry environments can cause throat or nose irritation. Comfortable indoor humidity ranges from 30% up to 70%. 12.
12.5 What happens if the station is exposed to high humidity? When the weather is very humid (due to rain) the humidity sensor may become saturated. It usually takes a few hours for it to dry, and return to its normal state. 13 CO2 Sensor 13.1 CO2 measurement Due to the accumulation of gases from adhesives, cleaning products, smoke, dust, dust mites and mold in a con ned space, your indoor air can rapidly become unhealthy.
13.3 Units CO2 is measured in ppm (parts per million), meaning the number of CO2 molecules among one million air molecules. Usual indoor CO2 levels vary between 400 and 5000 ppm. 13.4 Typical ppm values - Outdoor, CO2 level is always around 400 ppm. - In an appropriately ventilated room, the CO2 level should remain below 1000 ppm for the upmost comfort. - In a closed room such as a meeting room with several people or a small bedroom at night, CO2 can easily go past 1000 ppm. 13.
13.9 Manual CO2 calibration If the Netatmo station fells on the ground or goes under similar shocks, it may be necessary to perform a manual calibration of the CO2 sensor. For this purpose please visit the CO2 Calibration tab of your station, from the menu My stations . Once the manual CO2 calibration started, please don't unplug the station for at least 6 hours, to let it calibrate. If the station did not go under excessive shock manual CO2 calibration should not be needed. 14 Sound meter 14.
15 Rain gauge 15.1 Rain fall measurement Rainfall is measured with a tipping buckets rain gauge. Water makes the buckets tip, and the number of tips is counted through a magnet placed on the buckets. 15.2 Displayed measures Your dashboard displays: - Rainfall in mm/h or inches/h measured over the last hour. - Cumulative rainfall during the day (measured from midnight to midnight).
17 7-day forecast 17.1 Forecast The Netatmo App o ers a complete 7-day detailed weather forecast. It is localized according to your Netatmo Weather Station location and transmitted from our servers through the Internet and to your Netatmo App. This weather forecast data is provided by Me- teoGroup. 17.2 Summary mode The Summary mode gives you: minimum and maximum temperatures of the day, wind gust speed, amount of rain and sunlight duration.
17.3 Temperature mode The Temperature mode gives you: the temperature during the day (in blue) the maximum temperature (in red) and the minimum temperature (in green). 17.4 Rain mode The Rain mode gives you: the amount of rain per 3 hour period (represented by blue bars) and the probability of rain (represented by a red curve).
18 Indoor comfort 18.1 Indoor comfort index The indoor comfort index is displayed in the indoor dashboard 18.2 Complementary information available on the mobile app By touching the icon button on the indoor comfort gauge, you can view the main discomfort factor (temperature, humidity, CO2 or noise). 18.3 Indoor comfort index Your indoor comfort is computed from indoor temperature, humidity, CO2 and acoustic comfort.
19 Noti cations 19.1 What are noti cations? Noti cations are computed by your Netatmo Weather Station and sent to your smartphone. They are implemented to help you improve your environment with basic daily steps. Those noti cations are stored in your Netatmo embedded events timeline. 19.2 Personalized noti cations Your Netatmo stations is set up with the following default noti cations: CO2, temperature, pressure and humidity.
19.7 Humidity noti cation (default) When the humidity rises by 20% within a short time, you are noti ed. 19.8 NOAA Weather Alerts (US) Weather alerts from the National Weather Service are sent as noti cations to your Netatmo app. They are selected according to your station's location.
