How to install you Weenat-Frost sensor?

🔧 Required equipment

This video shows the necessary steps to carry out this procedure. Since the video is in French, you can find a detailed step-by-step guide below.

Choose your location.

Choose a plot that is most sensitive to frost or most likely to freeze. The flat and hollow areas are most at risk of frost. Cold air has a tendency of stalling at the bottom of slopes and hollows.
Secure your sensor.

Set up your sensor vertically, as close as possible to the buds most exposed to cold, so the ones closest to the ground.
Fill the container with water and alcohol .

Adding alcohol lowers the freezing point of water in case of very cold temperatures .
Put the lace in the water.
Screw the antenna on.
Pick up the sensor's serial number, it will be asked to connect it to the Weenat-App.
Log in to the Weenat-App.

Add the sensor to the App by clicking on the + (located in the top right corner of your screen) then on A sensor. Add the tensiometer's serial number.
Link a sensor to your plot by following the steps in this article 👉How to link a sensor to my plot?

The synchronisation of the data between the sensor and the app can take up to 15 minutes, just in time for a coffee break 😉.

Check once a week that the water container has enough water, fill it up if necessary.
Make sure the lace is still in good condition to ensure the water can go up to the temperature probe.
When you are not using your sensor, remember to lie it down on the ground. It will then go on stand by, this will spare your battery.
