We recommend to change the used LoRa wireless channel, if you are in an environment with high
radio traffic that affects sensor reading.

Go to

Settings menu / Wireless / Wireless Settings

:

Choose a different channel which has less radio traffic.
The available list of channels will depend on your country

’s radio

frequency regulations.

Important:

after changing the channel, you will need to manually

re-sync your wireless sensors!
