Frequently asked questions:
  1. Where can I set up my station?

    2. Since it requires no external electrical source or network cable, almost everywhere. On the top of a mountain deep in the forest, etc. Close to the ground the wind can be gusty/turbulent, so it's best to put it as high as you can.

  2. Can I access the data from Holfuy on my phone?

    3. Yes, our webpage is mobile friendly! Plus we offer a simple mobile page: https://m.holfuy.com
    Android application: Download from Google Play
    iOS application (iPhone/ iPad): Download from iTunes

  3. Can I display my stations data on my webpage/server?

    4. Yes, we have some ready modules >here< (e.g. actual data diagram), or we can generate CSV/XML files with the selected data(s)/average(s).
    Please contact us for details.

  4. Can I add other sensors to a Holfuy station?

    5. Yes, the Holfuy main panel has many universal input ports: SPI, I2C, One wire, A/D-s, and we can write the driver for it on request. But the sensor has to be low-power. Please contact us for details!

  5. What happens when a station runs out of charge?

    6. When a station doesn't get enough sunshine it will be discharged and go to Soft Sleep mode, after some sunny days it will automatically wake up from this mode.
    - Soft Sleep mode: The station will only send one life signal package per day (temperature, system power, network signal strength). This state can be sustained with a little sunshine. When the battery is nearly depleted, the station goes to Deep Sleep mode.
    - Deep Sleep mode: The station sends nothing in this mode. It will wake up after some sunny days or a manual recharge.

  6. How often does a station updates it's measurement data?

    7. The default update interval is 2 minutes, but you can modify it (min. 1 minutes). The server generates the averages then.

  7. Can I analyze the archive data of my station?

    8. Yes, please visit your station's analytics page after login.

  8. How much data traffic is generated by a station?

    9. Less than 10 MBytes/month with a standard station.

  9. What happens if my Holfuy station receive an SMS?

    10. It will be visible at the station's admin page. On request we can forward every single SMS to your e-mail account.

  10. What kind of warranty do you provide for the stations?
  11. The station's data would be private, is it possible to hide it away from other users?

    12. Yes, it's possible to save your station's data with a password. The private option has an annual fee. Please contact us for details. The mobile applications don't support the private stations.

    We test every single station before shipping, and we give one year warranty from the date of purchase. During the warranty period, we will repair/replace the station free of charge (buyer pays return shipping). This warranty doesn't cover damage due lightning or accident. Please contact us first if an error occurred.

  12. The graphs don't load, even if I click on them!

    13. Please check if java is enabled in your browser. Otherwise please send us your browser's version and a screenshot about the problem.

  13. What does "Holfuy" mean?

    14. Holfuy is a pun/wordplay. "Hol" means "where", "fuj" means "blows". We changed the "j" to an "y". Finally Holfuy means "Where does the wind blow?" :)
