Basic Troubleshooting ---------------------- Provide basic troubleshooting and repair steps for sensors that are can't be paired or not updated (dropped) 1. Understand the basic information of the sensor: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Meaning of card color: The sensor card shows the current status and data of the sensor. There are two sensor card background colors: - Gray: means the sensor is offline and sensor loses communication with the Hub, and the sensor will not upload data at this time. - Yellow: it means that the sensor is online and updates the data normally, that is, effective communication is established with the Hub. *** At the same time, when the sensor communicates with the Hub effectively, after the sensor pinhole button is poked, the sensor background color will flash one time: the background color changes from green to yellow.** - The meaning of different indicator statuses: The indicator light of the sensor shows the state of the current sensor (paired or unpaired). There are two indicator states (you can see by poking the pinhole button of the sensor with a pin): - The blue indicator light flashes once: it means that the sensor has been paired with the Hub. - The blue indicator light keeps flashing: it means that the sensor enters the pairing mode. This also shows that the sensor is in an unpaired state, and the sensor needs to be added(paired) through the pairing process on the app. 2. How to repair when the sensor cannot be paired or the data is not updated? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ **First, please check the indicator status to judge the sensor state first(paired or unpaired) through using a pin to poke the pinhole button:** - If the blue indicator light flashes one time: It means that the sensor is in a pairing state with the Hub. If the sensor is not online on the app in this state, please bring the sensor near the Hub and press the pinhole button. Then check whether the sensor is back online (the card turns yellow). If the sensor card color changes, which means that effective communication is established. - If you poke the pinhole button, the blue indicator light keeps flashing: It means that the sensor is in an unpaired state with the Hub. This state means that the sensor needs to be paired to the Hub again following the adding steps **After the sensor currently the state is confirmed, then please conduct as follow:** 1. For paired state but offline sensors: - Please take the sensor close to the Hub(Within 1m). - Then, use a pin clip to poke the pin-hole for one second, then release(indicator light flash once). Then check the App, see if that sensor will be online. 2. For sensors that are unpaired to the Hub: You need to operate for the process of adding sensors: - On the App, click the '+' icon on the upper right. - Choose the corresponding image of the sensor, then go through the adding process, see if the sensor can be paired and online. 3. If the sensor has been deleted, please poke the sensor pinhole button for 5 seconds until the indicator light continues to flash to unpair it from the Hub first. Then, re-add the sensor through the pairing procedure on the MOCREO App. *** Please note that all poke operations are performed with the sensor 1 meter close to the Hub to rule out the operation failed due to being too far away.** If the above operations can't work, please restart the MOCREO app and then try again. If the sensors still cannot be connected through the above method. please contact us(contact@mocreo.com) 3. Why sensor drop connection(not update)? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Drop connection is usually caused by the loss of communication with the Hub due to the weak signal at the location of the sensor. If this happens, please check whether the current position of the sensor and the Hub are in a valid communication distance first: - Use a pin clip to poke the pin-hole of the sensor for 1 second and then release it. After about 10 seconds, the background color of the coordinate sensor card on the app will flash once and change the color, which means the sensor can communicate with the Hub effectively. - You could also check the signal value of the sensor on the app: Tap sensor card to enter the 'Sensor Setting' page>> Check 'Signal Level'. When the signal value is above 40, it means that the sensor signal is relatively stable. If the sensor frequently disconnects at this location, please consider shortening the distance between the sensor and the Hub. Deployment ----------- How to pair the sensor with the Hub? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - **For the sensors in the kit:** Since the sensors in the kit were paired to the Hub before shipping out from the factory. After the Hub was bound to your MOCREO account, use a pin clip to poke the pin-hole for 1 sec, then release, then the sensor will wake up to pair with the Hub. - **For separately purchased sensors:** You need to go through the adding process of the sensor via the App. + On the App, click the '+' icon on the upper right. + Choose the corresponding image of the sensor, then go through the adding process. - Note: If the sensor is unbound from the Hub, it also needs to perform the process of adding the sensor via the app. What Should I do if the Hub Is Not Online/Can't Connect to? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Take the Hub closer to the router. - Check whether the router has a firewall policy to block ports 123, 80, 443 and 8883. - Unplug the power to restart the Hub. - Upgrade Hub firmware to the latest version, in Mocreo Sensor APP: [HOME]> [Hubs]> [Hub Settings]> [Check for Update]. - Or Connect with a network cable. - Check the encryption mode of the Wi-Fi/hotspot. If the encryption mode is WPA3/WPA2 Personal, the Hub may not connect to Wi-Fi. In this case, please modify it back to WPA/WPA2 Personal and then connect to the Hub. - If the Hub still can't be connected above method, please contact us(contact@mocreo.com). What should I do if the sensor is offline or temp data not updated? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Check whether the Hub light is a purple breathing light. If it is not a purple breathing light, the Hub is not online. How to deal with if the Hub is not online? Please read `What should I do if the Hub is not online `_. - use a pin clip pokes the pin-hole for one second, then release. Then blue indicator of the sensor will flash once, check whether there is a data update in the Mocereo APP; if there is no update, please contact us(contact@mocreo.com). - use a pin clip pokes the pin-hole for one second, then release. If the indicator light keeps flashing, please re-add this sensor in MOCREO App. - If the sensor data is still not updated through the above method, please contact us(contact@mocreo.com). * If the indicator light does not light up, the sensor is out of power. Please power the sensor first: + When charging, there will be a red indicator light on, and the red indicator light will go out after fully charged. Try the above steps again after the sensor is powered. + If the indicator light does not light up while charging, please contact us(contact@mocreo.com). * When you find that the sensor and Hub are very close, the data is still often not updated, and the reason may be that the current Hub environment has a large interference with the current Hub channel (the default is channel 26). You can change the Hub channel (Preferably channel 11) and re-pair the sensor to improve. The following is the guide on how to change the channel and pair the sensor: + `How to pair the sensor to the Hub `_. + `Choose Zigbee Channel `_. How do I know which sensor card is the corresponding sensor? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Poke the pin hole of the sensor with the pin clip for 1 second, and then release it. After about 10 seconds, the background color of the coordinate sensor card on the app will flash once and change the color. What should I do if the sensor temperature and humidity data are abnormal? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Check whether the sensor of abnormal data has been calibrated,[Home]>[Data detail]>[Sensor Setting]>[Callbration]. + Put multiple sensors that have not been calibrated in the same environment to check whether the data is consistent. - ST4 When the ambient temperature is between -10°C(14℉) and 85°C(185℉), the value measured differentiate between multiple sensors in the same environment by ±1°C (±1.8°F) is normal. When the ambient temperature is below -10°C(14℉), the value measured differentiate between multiple sensors in the same environment by ±2°C (±3.6°F) is normal. - ST3 When the ambient temperature is between 0°C(32℉) and 40°C(104℉), the value measured differentiate between multiple sensors in the same environment by ±1°C (±1.8°F) is normal. When the ambient temperature is between 0°C (32℉)and 65°C(149℉), the value measured differentiate between multiple sensors in the same environment by ±0.2°C (±0.36°F) is normal. When the ambient temperature is between 65°C(149℉) and 120°C(248℉), the value measured differentiate between multiple sensors in the same environment by ±1°C (±1.8°F) is normal. When the ambient humidity ranges from 0 to 80%RH, the difference between the measured values of multiple sensors in the same environment is ±2%RH. When the ambient humidity ranges from 80 to 100%RH, the difference between the measured values of multiple sensors in the same environment is ±3%RH. + If the data is still different abnormally, please contact us(contact@mocreo.com). What are the distances of the communication? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + The distance between Hub and Sensor: For the indoor line-of-sight distance, it's about 150ft (50m). In outdoor free space, it's about 300ft (100m). What is the maximum number of sensors each Hub could support? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + One Hub only supports 10 devices, due to the memory constraints. And better to work with less than 10 connects to it directly. If there's Zigbee router in between, that would be more stable. How to switch the Wi-Fi connected to Hub? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You could go through the adding process of the Hub again via the App to change the Wi-Fi that you want to connect to: - On the App, click the '+' icon on the upper right - Choose Hub, then go through the adding process: + Select 'Connect to Wi-Fi', select the new SSID that you want to connect to in Wi-Fi List, then input the Wi-Fi password. After that, the Hub will be connected to the new Wi-Fi. How to connect to a hidden Wi-Fi SSID? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The MOCREO products currently cannot support directly connecting to a hidden Wi-Fi SSID. Below are two workarounds: - Workaround 1 + Temporarily change the SSID of the Access Point into an available one. + Add the Hub to your MOCREO account via MOCREO App/Web Portal. + After successfully having the Hub added, you may make that Wi-Fi into a hidden one. - Workaround 2 - Find the Hub IP Address: On the MOCREO App/Web Portal> Menu> Settings> Hubs> Hubs Setting, when you will find the IP address of the Hub. - **Log into the Hub Portal:** + User Name: admin + Password: password - On the Hub Portal: Admin Settings> Setup> Wi-Fi> Then you may input the Wi-Fi that you prefer the Hub to connect. Then the Hub will connect to that Wi-Fi SSID. Can multiple users monitor at the same time? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Yes. One MOCREO account can be accessed by multiple devices (phones, tablets) at the same time (Supports up 3 devices) + You can use a different phone to log into the same account, and all the sensors will be displayed on that device, which means multiple people can monitor Temperature and humidity on the same Hub simultaneously. Can push Alerts be set for multiple email addresses when Temp/Humidity is exceeded? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ At present, the MOCREO Sensor App only supports entering one email address to receive Alerts, but you can automatically forward emails from a specific subject or from to others by setting mail forwarding rules, so that multiple users' mailboxes can receive Alerts email from MOCREO at the same time. Can the Unit be placed on a spot out of Wi-Fi range? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + The unit is not suitable to work properly under such conditions. Here is why: - The sensor itself doesn't have the ability to cache the data, but the Hub does. - After the Hub was taken to a place where there is no Wi-Fi, as long as the Hub was in power, the Hub can cache the data, when the Hub was connected back to the Wi-Fi, then the cache data will be uploaded to the cloud altogether, here is a crucial point: once the Hub was powered off, then the cache data will be cleared. - Once the Hub was disconnected from Wi-Fi, the Hub will reboot, and the cache will be cleared. - Hence it is suggested to place the Hub under the Wi-Fi. Does the Hub need a a/c or d/c power supply? or is it powered by the ethernet connection? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + We have provided Hub with a 5V / 1A power adapter and charging cable for free, which can fully meet your American power specifications. + The Hub cannot directly support PoE. It needs a PoE Splitter to support PoE. How to maintain effective signal transmission between sensor and Hub? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + In general, when there are obstacles indoors, we recommend the distance between sensor and Hub 10M-15M [39.8ft-49.2ft] (different obstacles have different effects on the strength of the signal, users need to test a reasonable distance) + In addition, you should pay attention to: Hub and sensor keep away from metal objects and surfaces; install the Hub as high as possible; keep the antenna of the Hub upright. + These practices are conducive to improving the signal transmission distance and stability between sensors and hubs. How to verify the effective communication distance? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + At the expected installation location(of the sensor), insert the Pin Clip into the pin-hole and press once shortly (less than 1second, then release). + You may see the corresponding card ( of the sensor) blinks on the MOCREO App, indicating that the connection between the sensor and the Hub is good. Why is it necessary to keep Bluetooth on when the Hub connect Wi-Fi? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + The function of turning on the Bluetooth on the mobile phone is to help the Hub to search the nearby Wi-Fi hotspot list and select the Wi-Fi hotspot you want to link. + When you successfully connect the Hub to Wi-Fi, you can turn off Bluetooth without keeping Bluetooth on. + In other words, you only need to turn on Bluetooth when you are performing a Hub connection Wi-Fi operation. What’s the MAC and IP address of my IoT Hub? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Hub MAC address - You may find out on your router’s device information page. - Or, please find the S/N on the bottom of the device. - The MAC address for Wi-Fi is the same as the SN, the MAC address for Ethernet is the SN + 3. - for example, C44F33383271, then, the MAC Address for Wi-Fi is: C4:4F:33:38:32:71; The MAC Address for Ethernet: c4:4f:33:38:32:74. + Hub IP address - Hub's IP address can be seen in the left navigation bar of app -> Hubs-> Hub Settings Hub status light ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Purple breathing: running normally - Red Light: network connection problem - Blue Light: the Hub is in Setup mode What might be the possible reasons if the sensor failed to be added to the Hub? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Please make sure that the Hub firmware is the latest version. + Incorrect adding process. Please re-add the device according to the instruction on the App. + The distance is too far away from the Hub. Please reduce the distance between the Hub and sensor. Then try to add the sensor again. + There are too many sensors under this Hub. (10 utmost). What might be the reasons if the climate sensor often goes offline? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + The distance is too far away from the Hub. Please reduce the distance between the Hub and sensor. + Running out of battery. Please replace it with a new battery. + The sensor is installed on a metal surface, and the signal was interfered. Please move the sensor to another place. What might be the reasons if the Hub failed to be set up to the Wi-Fi? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Check if the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly. + Check if the router has connected to the Internet. + Check whether the Wi-Fi signal of the router is weak. Please move the Hub closer to the router and try again. + Check whether the Wi-Fi chosen is 5GHz Wi-Fi. Please switch to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and try again. (since the MOCREO Hub cannot support 5GHz Wi-Fi) + If the troubleshooting above does work, please try to set the Hub up through the Ethernet cable: + Connect the Hub to your router through an Ethernet cable + Power up the Hub + After the Hub is powered on and flashes the breathing light, press and hold the button on the top of the Hub until the blue breathing light flashes to enter the "Setup Mode," then click the "Continue" button on the App + Select the Hub and click the "Connect" button to complete the configuration + If the ethernet or LAN is unreachable: - Please click the "click here" at the bottom in the same page to use another way. - Copy the generated Setup Token (Each generated Token only valid for 10 minutes). - Then log into `Hub Web Portal `_. - `Link Hub with an Account `_. Precautions about the sensor when is placed inside a freezer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Avoid placing near the condenser. The water vapor of the freezer entering the internal circuit board of the sensor will affect the measurement accuracy of the sensor. + Avoid the adhesive from being frozen. How do I change my password for Hub Portal? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - We support changing the Hub Portal password. You can change the Hub Portal password according to the following path: Menu>>>Hubs>>>Hub Settings>>>Open Hub's Web Portal>>>User - Currently we only support changing the login password of Hub Portal, but not the User Name. .. tip:: It is suggested to change your Hub Portal's password. - If you are concerned about data security, we recommend that you change your password. - If you have forgotten your login password for the Hub Portal, you will need to reset the Hub Portal password and login again by following these instructions: - Poke the pinhole at the bottom of the Hub with a pin for 5s until the Hub beeps, which resets the Hub - After resetting the Hub, you need to add the Hub and Sensors again, so generally we do not recommend resetting the Hub Hub ----------- How to upgrade Hub firmware in LAN? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + Background - Hub needs to download new firmware from SyncSign's OTA server and update it.

The sensor card displays the current status and data of the sensor. There are two sensor card background colors: - Gray: Indicates that the sensor is offline, the sensor and the terminal device have lost communication, and the sensor will not upload data at this time. - Yellow: Indicates that the sensor is online and updating data normally, that is, establishing effective communication with the terminal device. - Q: How to fix if the sensor cannot be added or the data is not updated? - Android: First check GPS and positioning permissions and whether Bluetooth is turned on (different models vary) - iOS: only need to turn on Bluetooth - Turn on the ST7 switch to see if there is a beep, if it emits a beep sound, it means that the device is normally turned on and broadcasting - When ST7 is successfully added to the terminal device and is online, enter the "Sensor Settings" page, other terminal devices will not be able to receive the ST7 broadcast data - When the ST7 and the terminal device are displayed offline within the effective communication range, it is necessary to turn off and turn on the Bluetooth again. - Q: Why is the sensor disconnected (not updated)? - BLE communication requires ST7 to communicate with the terminal device within an effective range, generally within 30 feet - The relevant permissions are not opened on the terminal device - ST7 will stop broadcasting when the battery is dead - Q: What should I do if the sensor temperature data is abnormal? - Typical temperature deviation will be within ±0.9°F/±0.5°C - If the data still has a large error abnormality, please contact us(contact@mocreo.com) MOCREO Support - Q: What is the maximum number of sensors that each end device can support? - unlimited - Q: Can multiple users monitor at the same time? - Yes, different MOCREO accounts and multiple terminal devices can be connected to ST7 within the effective communication range, and can be accessed by multiple devices (mobile phones, tablets) at the same time - Q: Can I view historical temperature data? - ST7 is not currently supported, but ST4, ST3, ST2, ST1 support this function - Q: Can push notification be set up for multiple email addresses when temperature is exceeded? - ST7 is not currently supported, but ST4, ST3, ST2, ST1 support this function - Q: Can the ST7 sensor be put into the refrigerator to measure? - It is not recommended to put ST7 sensor body into the refrigerator for measurement, it is recommended to put the probe into the refrigerator for measurement. - Avoid placing the ST7 sensor near the condenser, the water vapor of the freezer entering the sensor's internal circuit board will affect the measurement accuracy of the sensor. - Avoid the adhesive from freezing - Q: How long is the battery life? - ST7 battery can be used for 1 year; continuous alarm can be used for 18 hours - Q: How do I know if the battery has run out? - You can check the battery level on the sensor card in the App. Water Leak Sensor-SW2 ------------------------------------------------------ - Q: What to do if the App can't scan the Sensor when adding a device - Please make sure your phone is within 5m from SW2 Sensor first - When pairing, please check whether the blue indicator light of SW2 Sensor is flashing (Poke the Sensor with a pin for 1 second and then release, the indicator light of SW2 Sensor will flash to indicate the Setup mode. And the indicator light will stop flashing after successful pairing). - Please do not turn off the Bluetooth and network on your phone (For Android, you need to turn on the GPS and authorize the positioning permission at the same time) - Q: What is the recommended signal between the Sensor and Hub? - Poke the Sensor pinhole for 1s and release. - After 20~30 seconds, Tap the corresponding Sensor card on the App to reach the Sensor Settings Page and view the signal values, signal value stronger than 20% is ideal. - Q: How to find the Sensor corresponding to the App card? - Poke the SW2 Sensor for 1 second then release, the App card will be highlighted once (The highlight has a certain delay time, about 10s-20s.). - Q: What to do if the App card is gray (Status of Sensor offline)? - Check if the Hub under the same account is online. - Adjusting the distance between SW2 Sensor and Hub, the communication distance between SW2 Sensor and Hub in the open is 131ft (without obstacle), indoor communication distance is 66ft (with obstacle) - The signal strength of Sensor stable communication should be more than 20%. - Make sure the Sensor is fully charged and working properly. - Q: Why the SW2 Sensor under the account is Alertsed, but the Hub under the account and MOCREO App are not Alertsed and notified? - Please check if the Hub is online - Please check if "Leak Alarm" and "Hub Beep" in the "Sensor Settings" page are enabled and select the specified Hub beep (requires Hub firmware version ≥ 1.7.1). - Q: What to do if the Sensor data is not updated? - Please check whether the Hub near the Sensor is online (When the Hub indicator is purple breathing light means the Hub is online) - Please check that the Sensor is near the Hub (recommended distance indoors is 66ft) - Make sure the Sensor is charged and working properly - Sensor will not update data if it detects a change in status - Q: How to charge the battery of Sensor? - Please use 5V 1A adapter with Micro USB cable to charge Sensor, 1 charge can support 2 years standby time. - Q: How do I know if the battery is fully charged? - When charging, the red indicator light will stay on and when the red indicator light goes off it means charging is complete. - Q: How to export data? - Go to the "Sensor Settings" page and click "Export Historical Data" to select the start and end time (supports exporting historical data for the last six months) and click "Export", you can click "click here" to download the data directly or copy the download link into your browser to download the data. - Q: Does SW2 Sensor support low battery Alerts - Yes, SW2 Sensor will receive email and App push notification when its battery level is less than 10%. - Q: Can SW2's own alarm buzzer be turned off via App control? - The App does not support this function at the moment, this function will be implemented in the next version. - Q: Can the SW2 Sensor set the presence of water to normal and the absence of water to alarm? - The App does not support this function at the moment, this function will be implemented in the next version. - Q: Why does the Hub emit intermittent sounds during alarms? - It is due to network delays or Bluetooth scanning and other situations that cause the Hub to be busier, resulting in intermittent sounds Temp Sensor-ST5 ------------------------------------------------------ - Coming soon
