Common questions

At this point we collect the most frequently asked questions from our customers. Do you have a problem with the sun-a-wear sensor or the app? Perhaps the solution can already be found here.

Does the sensor also work indoors?2020-10-22T15: 20: 09 + 00: 00

Basically not, because there is usually not enough light inside (and you are not exposed to any significant UV radiation inside). But if you go from outside to inside, he will continue to measure 2 - 3 minutes until he normally runs out of energy.

Next to the dose bar in the app is a small symbol that shows whether the app has received data from the sensor in the last few minutes. When the plugs are connected, the app currently receives data from the sensor.

How much light does the sensor need to function?2020-10-22T15: 22: 06 + 00: 00

The sensor adapts its measuring interval to the available energy. That means in the morning and in the evening when he has less light he also measures less often. Basically, one can say that it can collect enough energy somewhere between UV index 0.1 and 0.2 to measure.
