The WTH uses a color touchscreen on the front, along with one physical button and a status LED. Almost everything you do day to day happens on the touchscreen: reading your temperatures, checking a channel's history, and opening Settings. This article covers the home dashboard, how to read each view, and what the front button does.
The Home Dashboard
The screen you see most of the time is the home dashboard, titled TEMPERATURES. It shows every sensor that is currently connected and reading, and nothing else.
Across the top of the dashboard you will find three controls:
- Status dot (top-right): a single indicator for the whole system. It stays in its normal state while every channel is below your over-temp threshold, and switches to a warning state the moment any channel reaches or exceeds it.
- °F / °C toggle: tap to switch every reading on the hub between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Your choice is remembered.
- Gear icon: opens Settings. See Menus and Settings for the full menu.
Below the top row is the tile grid. Each connected channel gets its own tile showing:
- The channel name (for example
IR 1orProbe 2, or a custom name you set). - The current temperature in your selected unit.
- A min / max line for that channel.
The grid only shows channels that are actually connected and reading, and it re-packs itself automatically as sensors come and go. Plug in another sensor and a new tile appears; unplug one and its tile drops off so the remaining tiles fill the space. There is nothing to arrange by hand.
When a channel reaches or exceeds the over-temp threshold, its tile recolors to a warning state so it stands out at a glance, and the status dot in the corner switches to warning at the same time. This alert is visual only: the hub has no buzzer and no switched output, so an over-temp condition changes the colors on screen but makes no sound. If you turn on the optional Severity tint, a tile also shifts color gradually as its channel climbs toward the threshold, giving you a warning before it trips.
The over-temp threshold is one global setting that applies to every channel. You set it in Settings, and the default is 110°F. See Menus and Settings.
If no sensors are connected, the dashboard shows No sensors connected instead of tiles. A channel that has lost its sensor, or an infrared sensor that is not aimed at a target, reads -- and its tile drops off the grid. See Troubleshooting if a channel you expect is missing.
Reading Temperature History
Tap any tile to open that channel's history view, titled TEMPERATURE HISTORY. This is a scrolling graph of that one channel's temperature over time, so you can see not just the current number but how it has been trending: steady, climbing under load, or cooling back down.
The min and max values shown for the channel mark the lowest and highest temperatures recorded for it, so you can confirm how hot a subwoofer motor or an amplifier terminal actually got during a session even if you were not watching the moment it peaked. To return to the dashboard, tap to go back.
Using the Front Button
The single button on the front of the hub gives you quick actions without touching the screen.
| Button Action | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Short press | Wakes the screen if it has dimmed or gone to sleep |
| Triple press | Starts pairing with a wireless display (WDD, WDD-LITE, or WVC Knob) |
| Long press | Clears all paired displays and restarts the hub |
A triple press puts the hub into pairing mode so it can link a wireless display such as a WDD, a WDD-LITE, or a WVC Knob. A pairing indicator flashes while it searches. See First Boot and Pairing for the full walkthrough.
A long press clears every display you have paired and restarts the hub. Use it only when you want to start over with your wireless displays. Your sensors, channel names, and other settings are not affected.
Screen Sleep
To save power and reduce glare on your dash at night, the display dims and then sleeps after a period with no touches. This is on by default, and you control both whether it happens and how long it waits (from 10 to 240 seconds, default 60) with the Sleep settings in Settings > Display. See Menus and Settings.
Waking the hub is easy: press the front button once, or simply touch the screen. Your sensors keep reading and your min / max values keep tracking the entire time the screen is asleep, so nothing is lost while the display is off.
Switching Temperature Units
The °F / °C toggle in the top-right of the dashboard flips every temperature on the hub between Fahrenheit and Celsius, including the tiles, the history graph, and the min / max lines. Your choice persists across restarts, so you set it once. You can also change the same setting from Settings > Display using the Show Celsius option. See Menus and Settings.
