Page 13
Installation, Continued The X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity Sensor can be installed or mounted in at least one of four ways: 1. Lay the sensor flat on any stable surface, or placed within an enclosure. 2. Hang the sensor from a nail, screw, or hook,...
Page 14
Installation, Continued Wall-mounting method 1. The sensor has a standard "keyhole" notch on the rear, at the top. This allows for hanging the sensor from a nail or screw. Additionally, there are two more mounting holes at the bottom of the sensor.
Page 15
Installation, Continued 2. If desired, mark or otherwise identify the exact position of your sensor on the wall, including one or all of the mounting points (keyhole at top, two screw holes at bottom). Use a level tool to ensure your sensor will be level, if desired. 3.
Page 16
Installation, Continued 5. If not already performed in a previous step, verify the sensor is level prior to pre-drilling or inserting holes for the lower mounting points. Insert one or both screws through the lower mounting holes, tightening them and securing the sensor to the wall.
Page 17
Installation, Continued *Suitable surfaces are metallic surfaces responsive to magnets, that allow for a good bond with the sensor's built-in magnet. Uneven, irregular, textured, grooved, etcetera, surfaces may not be suitable. Surfaces subject to vibration and movement are not likely to be acceptable.

Sensor Calibration Your X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity Sensor has a high-accuracy digital sensor that has been calibrated at the time of manufacture. Your sensor readings should always be accurate, but if you believe the sensor is not accurate and/or if you have a thermometer or trusted sensor, etc.
Page 27
Sensor Calibration, Continued How to Calibrate Your Sensor: 1. Open the sensor's Details screen and tap Calibration. 2. The Calibration screen is displayed, as shown below. To calibrate the temperature or humidity, tap and hold the associated slider bar control, then slide the control to the right, for a positive offset, or to the left, for a negative offset.
Sensor Refresh Frequency Both temperature and humidity values refresh when one of the following conditions are met: a. The SET button has been pressed SET Button When temp is over 32°F(0°C), at least 1.8°F (1°C) change over a period longer than 1 minute;...

Sensor Refresh Frequency c. At least 3.6°F (2°C) change within 1 minute d. At least 10% change over a period longer than 1 minute e. Device alert level reached or restored to normal range d. Otherwise, the values will be refreshed automatically once an hour...
(High Temp, Low Temp, High Humidity, or Low Humidity) in the routine. Alexa now includes the capability to query the temperature of a device and utilizes the X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity Sensor for initiating trigger actions, based on high or low temperature (note that humidity-triggered actions are not supported).
Page 31
3rd-Party Services, Continued Google only supports querying the temperature or humidity of the devices. For example, edit the name of the device in Alexa or Google to “Sunroom", then you can ask: “Echo, what is the sunroom temperature?" You can also try, “Alexa, what is the temperature of the Sunroom sensor?"...
Battery Replacement Tools Required : Small Flathead/ Small Phillips Screwdriver Slotted Screwdriver As shown below, insert the tip of a slotted/flathead screwdriver into the notch on the side of the sensor. Gently twist the screwdriver, to release the battery access cover.
Page 33
Battery Replacement, Continued Using a small Phillips screwdriver, loosen both battery compartment cover screws until the cover can be removed (the screws do not need to be entirely removed). Remove the old batteries.
Page 34
Battery Replacement, Continued Matching the battery orientation/polarity symbols, insert two new lithium AA batteries. Replace the battery compartment cover and tighten the two screws.

Battery Replacement, Continued Position and snap the battery access cover back into place.
Factory Reset When directed by customer support, and/or as an attempt to resolve a problem with your X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity Sensor, it may be necessary to perform a factory reset. Factory resetting your sensor returns it to the factory default programming and settings.
Firmware Updates Your YoLink products are frequently being improved, with new features and functions added over time. It is periodically necessary to make changes to your device firmware. For optimal performance of your device, and to give you access to any improvements made to your device model, these firmware updates should be...
Page 41
Firmware Updates, Continued Firmware is like settings in your sensor that define the overall operations of the sensor. These settings are added to the sensor when it is manufactured, and they are periodically updated, as needed, to add improvements, new features, new integrations, etc, to your sensor, as they become available.
Troubleshooting Problem: Sensor is offline or has a low signal status. Possible Solution: a) Signal strength for the sensor is too low at that location. Move the sensor closer to the hub, relocate the hub closer to the sensor (if possible), or add another hub (to extend the signal range).
Page 43
Sensor temperature or humidity is not accurate, compared to another sensor Possible Solution: Your X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity Sensor does have a Calibration feature, that allows for adjusting the displayed temperature or humidity, to match that of a trusted temperature or humidity measuring device or method.
Warnings For optimal performance and lifetime of your X3 Outdoor Temperature & Humidity Sensor, please adhere to the following warnings: When replacing the batteries, only use new alkaline or lithium non-rechargeable batteries. Do not use zinc blend batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.
