Issue group

Gateway

KNOT Gateway not online
Symptoms

The gateway and its downstream readings show offline or stop updating.

Likely causes
  • Power interruption
  • Ethernet, cellular or site-network change
  • Gateway configuration or placement issue
What to check first
  • Confirm the exact gateway and last online time
  • Check safe visible power and connection indicators
  • Ask whether all sensors or only one location are affected
Safe actions
  • Restore only an approved external power or network connection
  • Record indicator state before and after one controlled restart if the site procedure permits it
  • Do not open the unit or share network credentials
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit when indicators remain abnormal after safe site checks, or when configuration/network approval is needed.

SIM or LTE not connecting
Symptoms

The cellular connection never becomes available or repeatedly drops.

Likely causes
  • SIM is inactive, incorrectly seated or restricted
  • Coverage or antenna placement is unsuitable
  • APN or carrier configuration requires review
What to check first
  • Confirm the SIM/provider and whether service is active without sharing PINs
  • Record visible cellular status and approximate signal indication
  • Check whether the issue began after a SIM, carrier or location change
Safe actions
  • Use only the approved antenna and external connections
  • Move the gateway only within the agreed safe placement area
  • Keep APN credentials out of screenshots and email
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit before changing gateway configuration, APN settings or hardware; include provider, site, time and non-sensitive status evidence.

Ethernet or PoE is unclear
Symptoms

The gateway has an Ethernet cable but power or network status is uncertain.

Likely causes
  • The cable supplies data only
  • PoE source or standard has not been confirmed
  • Cable, port or site network is inactive
What to check first
  • Identify the approved power source and network port
  • Check the site record for the intended power method
  • Compare visible indicators with the vendor document for the exact model
Safe actions
  • Do not connect an unverified injector or power supply
  • Check only with site-approved cable/port changes
  • Record cable labels and port location
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit when the intended power method, PoE equipment or network handoff is not documented.

Issue group

Sensors

Sensor not visible
Symptoms

An expected sensor is absent from the object, location or latest-reading list.

Likely causes
  • Wrong object/location mapping
  • Exact model or identifier is not configured
  • Power, battery or radio path is unavailable
What to check first
  • Match the physical label to the expected identifier
  • Confirm the correct object and location name
  • Check whether nearby sensors remain visible
Safe actions
  • Photograph the label without exposing credentials
  • Record gateway, object and expected location
  • Avoid deleting or remapping records during diagnosis
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit when the identifier is correct but the sensor remains absent, or when mapping must be changed.

Weak signal or antenna placement
Symptoms

Readings are intermittent, delayed or fail only in part of the site.

Likely causes
  • Distance, structure or metal obstruction
  • Antenna orientation/location changed
  • Battery condition or local interference
What to check first
  • Map stable and affected locations
  • Record when loss occurs and what changed nearby
  • Confirm antenna and gateway placement against the reviewed plan
Safe actions
  • Return moved equipment to its approved position if safe
  • Take overview photos showing obstructions and relative locations
  • Do not fit unapproved antennas or extensions
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit before permanent repositioning or antenna changes; include a simple location sketch and affected identifiers.

Wrong sensor location or name
Symptoms

Readings appear under the wrong room, zone or sensor label.

Likely causes
  • Physical label and digital mapping differ
  • Sensor was moved without record update
  • Similar identifiers were confused
What to check first
  • Compare the physical label, planned location and displayed name
  • Check recent installation/service notes
  • Confirm which sensor physically occupies each location
Safe actions
  • Create a label-to-location list and photos
  • Do not rename or move records until the mapping is verified
  • Preserve timestamps for the affected period
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit when the verified mapping needs correction or historical data may be affected.

Battery or power uncertainty
Symptoms

A device stops reporting or shows an unclear power state.

Likely causes
  • Battery may be depleted
  • External power may be interrupted
  • Power state may not be exposed through the integration
What to check first
  • Identify exact model and approved power method
  • Check the maintenance record and last reading
  • Use only manufacturer-approved visible indicators
Safe actions
  • Do not open sealed devices or improvise a replacement
  • Record visible state and label
  • Follow the project maintenance procedure
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit before replacing a battery/power supply when the approved part or procedure is unclear.

Measurements

Humidity readings look suspicious
Symptoms

Relative-humidity values appear implausible, fixed or inconsistent with the space.

Likely causes
  • Unit, timestamp or location context is wrong
  • Sensor placement is affected by a surface, airflow or recent change
  • Sensor condition/configuration requires review
What to check first
  • Verify raw value, unit and timestamp
  • Check exact placement and recent heating, ventilation or wet-work changes
  • Compare against a suitable reference at the same time and location
Safe actions
  • Collect a short time series instead of one reading
  • Photograph placement and nearby conditions
  • Do not calibrate or relocate without the approved procedure
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit when context is verified but values remain implausible; include raw data, units, times and placement photos.

Condensation or dew-point uncertainty
Symptoms

The dew point or condensation risk is difficult to interpret.

Likely causes
  • Air and surface temperatures are being confused
  • Reference measurements are from different times/locations
  • A calculated value is being treated as a diagnosis
What to check first
  • Confirm temperature and relative humidity units and timestamps
  • Identify whether the compared value is air or surface temperature
  • Align inside/outside or reference readings
Safe actions
  • Use the calculation as decision support, not proof of cause
  • Record visible condensation and location separately
  • Escalate immediate water/electrical risk through the site process
When to contact Humidynit

Contact Humidynit when the measurement set is complete but the practical decision remains unclear.
