  To resolve issues with data not reporting to Wunderground.com® with your Renkforce Weather Station: 1. Ensure your password is correct and that it matches the one you registered on Wunderground.com®. Note that Wunderground.com® passwords cannot begin with a non-alphanumeric character. 2. Verify that your station ID is correct, paying close attention to the capitalization and avoiding the substitution of an 'O' for a '0' or vice versa. 3. Confirm that your time zone is set properly to ensure you are reporting real-time data. 4. Check your router firewall settings, as the device sends data via Port 80.

  If your Renkforce Weather Station's outdoor sensor array isn't communicating with the receiver, it may be necessary to reset the sensor array. Here's how: 1. Use an open-ended paperclip to press the reset button (next to the LED near the mounting point) for 3 seconds to discharge the voltage. 2. Remove the batteries and wait one minute while covering the solar panel to drain any remaining voltage. 3. Reinsert the batteries and resync with the receiver by powering down and then up the receiver, keeping the sensor array about 3 meters away. 4. Bring the sensor array inside. The LED should flash every 16 seconds. If it doesn't, replace the batteries, ensuring correct polarity. 5. If the sensor flashes every 48 seconds, there may be temporary communication loss due to interference. Try p...
