    That looks ok to me. If you still have no joy try connecting it to the cable going into where your fuseboard / consumer unit is located. Have you tried re-syncing it?

    Yep been jabbing at it all afternoon:o
    try connecting it to the cable going into where your fuseboard / consumer unit is located
    There are no visible cables in or out of it.
    Struggled to get it attatched to the cable its on now- thats why i wondered if it was right

    Thankyou for your reply though

    have you tried it on the cables on the other side of the white block? Might be worth a shot if you can get a better grip on the cable
  • Thank You- I will have a look tomorrow as its pitch black out there now, and as you can see from the state of the inside of the box quite a few spiders live in there and I'm not up for a bushtucker trial tonight! lol
    just a thought....... could my wireless internet be interfering with it?

    I'd take the Owl display unit outside with you and try to get a synch with it in close proximity to the sensor. Once it has paired with the sensor it should be ok.
  • Thankyou did that this morning and everything is now working fine - Thank you for your help and advice.
