Pet Monitor FAQ

Most Popular

1. Where do I install the monitor for optimal Cellular / GPS signal reception?

Install the monitor in an open area inside your RV, car, or home — ideally near a window or where it has a clear line of sight to the outdoors/sky but not directly facing sunlight. Avoid placing it inside enclosed compartments/closets or behind metal surfaces, as these can interfere with cellular signal reception and may also cause temperature errors. Also please make sure the pet monitor front face ( where the temperature sensor is located ) is not directly facing sunlight to avoid false high temperature alerts.

2. How do I install the monitor for accurate temperature readings?

Install the monitor in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, vents, or heating/cooling sources. Placing it near air conditioners, heaters, or windows exposed to sunlight may cause temperature readings to be inaccurate and may accumulate dust/lint in the sensor cavity on the pet monitor and result in inaccurate readings.

3. Can I use any USB cable/adapter to charge the product?

For best performance and safety, we recommend using only the USB cable and adapter provided with your Waggle Pet Monitor. Using other USB or incompatible or low-power chargers/poor cables may result in slower charging or product malfunction. Waggle guarantees performance only when used with the supplied accessories and the product warranty becomes void due to damages caused by third party accessories including chargers/cables.

4. Why is my pet monitor showing a different temperature compared to another thermometer or my thermostat?

Waggle Pet monitor uses a high-quality Swiss made temperature & humidity sensor and every Waggle Pet monitor is factory calibrated to +/- 1 Deg C (+/- 2 Deg F ) accuracy referenced to NIST. Thermostats vary widely in terms of temperature accuracy and temperature errors of more than +/- 2F are common. The other common reasons for the difference between your thermostat and the pet monitor reading maybe they are located at different areas of the room. For a fair comparison, ensure both are placed next to each other and even then, there may be a difference of 4F or more based on the quality/accuracy of the reference meter.

5. Why does my monitor not get any signal even though my cell phone has coverage?

Though today's cell phones also use the 4G cellular signals, they are of a different variety and frequency than the one used by Waggle pet monitor. Waggle pet monitor uses 4G CatM1 while cellphones use 4G Cat4 or higher. While most of the times, a given location would have both signals available, there are locations, where your cell phone 4G signal maybe available, but the 4G catM1 signal may not be available or poor. If this happens, try relocating the pet monitor closer to a window or door and ensure there are no obstructions and reset/restart the monitor. This should most likely resolve the issue. If it persists please contact our support team and they can help with other options.

14. How can I calculate the Heat Index myself?

Please refer to these links to learn more about the Heat Index and how it is calculated:
Weather.gov - Heat Index

The heat index formula is expressed as: makefile

HI = c1 + c2T + c3R + c4TR + c5T2 + c6R2 + c7T2R + c8TR2 + c9T2R2

In this formula,
HI = heat index in degrees Fahrenheit,
R = Relative humidity,
T = Temperature in ∘F,
c1 = -42.379,
c2= -2.04901523,
c3 = -10.14333127,
c4 = -0.22475541,
c5 = -6.83783 x 10−3,
c6 = -5.481717 x 10−2,
c7 = -1.22874 x 10−3,
c8 = 8.5282 x 10−4,
c9 = -1.99 x 10−6

15. What do the different colors mean on the homepage temperature area?

  • Blue- The temperature is below the setpoint.
