wotsallthis Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 What are the fiur big figures please for a "weather beginner" on the Lidls radio controlled weather station. Right now, (London 1pm) The top left reads -34C , top right, 86%. These two are flashing. The second row down reads. Left, 22.3 C and the second row down right figure reads 66%. The second row down is temperature I imagine, but the others make no sense. Please help and keep well.
swansont Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 I would guess 66% is the relative humidity. You can probably find a manual for this online, which would describe the display. Make sure you include the model number in your search.
wotsallthis Posted August 10, 2021 Author Posted August 10, 2021 Thank you Swansont, I reckon that's right. Now just the other two. Thetop left is reading -39.3. degrees C. (Can't be) and the top right is 20%. Both flash on and off. Regards
Eise Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) I notice that the display can show min and max temperatures. Maybe you have to do a reset of these values. It could be the lowest temperature during its transport, or, when you yourself had to put the battery in, the lowest temperature it can measure. The flashing is a sign that the values cannot be trusted (think about good old video recorder clocks, flashing continuously with 12:00). So I suggest, read the manual, and find out how you can reset the min/max values. Edited August 10, 2021 by Eise
swansont Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 I searched for the manual, but since you didn't give the model number (again) I haven't found this particular device, but there is an indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, and mention of an outdoor sensor and what happens of it can't get a signal from that sensor. Does that apply to your device? In your picture the top row has an icon that suggests a radio connection of some sort, and the second row says "in", suggesting that is the indoor display. Both rows have battery displays, so removing and installing the batteries might reset the device.
Klaynos Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 The top row looks like it's for a remote sensor (the house with a little 2). The fact it's flashing tells me it's trying to demonstrate a fault. My guess is that the remote sensor isn't providing data for one of many reasons.
wotsallthis Posted August 13, 2021 Author Posted August 13, 2021 Thanks so much. I'm off to reset, examine and hopefully, thanks to you all, some enlightenment. I'll be back soon.

An exhausted battery can lead to incorrect sensor readings. It should not display all the contours, just the right one: On 8/6/2021 at 8:04 PM, wotsallthis said: The top left reads -34C Perhaps it is not -34 C but some LEDs are damaged and turned on all the time, just giving impression of incorrect value..

Probably battery is exhausted. Measure voltage and replace by fresh new one.. Edited August 13, 2021 by Sensei
