3802 weather station has stopped showing feels like etc just sits on current outdoor temp?

The ECOWITT WS3800 weather station displays "Feels Like" temperature based on outdoor conditions:

- If the outdoor temperature is below 50°F (10°C), it shows wind chill.
- If the outdoor temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 80°F (26.7°C), it shows the actual outdoor temperature.
- If the outdoor temperature is above 80°F (26.7°C), it shows the heat index.

If the WS3800 has stopped displaying "Feels Like" temperature and only shows the outdoor temperature, it is likely because the outdoor temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 80°F (26.7°C), where "Feels Like" equals the outdoor temperature. Additionally, if the user has selected "Apparent Temperature" instead of "Feels Like Temperature" in the settings, the displayed value might be different.
