Device role
Outdoor Temperature Sensor
An outdoor temperature sensor measures ambient temperature outside the home, used by Selora AI for climate, severe weather, and energy recipes that depend on real conditions, not weather-forecast estimates.
Outdoor temperature sensors are usually integrated into weather stations or stand-alone wireless probes mounted in the shade outside the home. The data point matters more than the form factor: Selora AI cares about an accurate reading of the local outdoor temperature, not the brand or protocol.
How Selora AI uses outdoor temperature sensors
- Climate control that pre-cools or pre-heats based on real outdoor conditions rather than forecast estimates.
- Severe weather context: distinguishing a tornado warning during a 95F heatwave from one during a winter storm changes how Selora AI prompts occupants.
- Energy savings for window-fan automations, heat-pump scheduling, and pool heaters.
- Comfort recipes that adjust shade and blind positions when outdoor temperature rises above a threshold.
