Can I leave the sensors charging while operating?

It is possible to leave the sensor charging while operating by either a USB charger or battery pack.

Take care to follow any user instructions provided by the manufacturer of the charging devices, in particular the environmental specifications. While the Powersensor sensor devices are rated for outdoor operation, other consumer devices (i.e., USB chargers and battery packs) are often not rated for outdoor use. For this reason, we recommend that you charge your sensors indoors.

If you are sure that it is safe to do so, plug the sensor into the provided charging cable from its installed location.

Any sensors with firmware versions older than 4233 will not collect data whilst they are plugged into power. Devices with 4233 and newer will function without any issues. Prior to in-situ charging, ensure that you verify your firmware version.

Important note: the Powersensor WiFi plug is rated for indoor use only.
