Paired Sensor Notes
When a paired sensor is first added to the valve controller, it may return inaccurate or
nonsensical values for several of its attributes, such as battery and temperature. This
is due to the sensor never having communicated its data to the valve controller and can
be fixed by moving the sensor around (so that it beeps, indicating that data has been
sent to the valve controller).
