You always get your device ID and additionally you get the choice for ‘any ID’. If you are certain there are no other devices nearby the anyID is the best choice because that will keep working when you change batteries. (The ID changes when replacing batteries) ---

Wondering if anyone is aware of how to change sampling frequency of TS-FT002 from 3 minutes to claimed capability of 30 seconds. The little manual’s list of features includes statement “Tank level updated 30s or 3 minutes”. Is this true? Thank you ---

I dont think you can change it manually. It is sending on shorter intervals automatically when the water level changes rapidly I believe. ---

Anyway, there is LCD panel so you don’t need any app - this fantastic app just allows us to do some automation even with “dumb” device > [@Tamim\_Aleter](#): > > so i can receive signal ? It depends, how many meters and seeing it’s on the roof I gess it’s some barrel, right? But anyway, I guess you can check manual…I have mine located underground cca 1m and in about 10m far from Homey and it works but the signal is weak. > [@Tamim\_Aleter](#): > > can connect the device by wire that’s not possible ---

Hi I am really impressed by the work done one this app… A question : what is the signification of the message : « shifting payload » I can read in the log ? Is it an issue ? If yes, how can I fix it ? Thx Philippe ---

Thx! No, not an issue. I just found out I can sometimes repair a corrupt received payload by shifting some bits. The log is just reporting such attempt. As long as you get valid updates on a regular basis it doesnt matter if some reports are missing or corrupt. ---

And I must say that this update (I think you made it last year?) significantly improved reception rate success 😉 Well done Gruijter !
