Follow these instructions to register your device, get it connected to the internet, and understand its daily operation.
Create Account & Register Device

Read Display & Ports
Port I & Port III (Not in Use)
These ports are disabled for EDGE Essential and EDGE Air models.
Port II (Digital Input)
Digital input for dry contact sources (not included), such as a door sensor, flood sensor, or external fridge alarm. Uses a 2-pole terminal to 3.5mm audio jack adapter.
The display updates at each recording interval (not between 2 readings). It pauses updates below 0°C (32°F) to preserve screen performance.
CO2 Calibration (EDGE Air Only)
To calibrate CO2: Place outdoors, press Setup, connect to WiFi name "DATALOGGER", scroll and tap Setup. Wait 15 min without disturbing. Do this every 6–12 months or if readings seem off.
