Within your OPIBLUE account go to the “Gateways and Nodes” section of the menu and click on the "Nodes" button ![](https://knowledge.opisystems.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2021-11-16-37-24-PM.png) 2.   Once inside the “Nodes” section, scroll until you get to the cable node (CN) you want to force readings and click on the “Force Readings” button ![](https://knowledge.opisystems.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2021-11-17-20-96-PM.png) An “updating cable readings” preceded by two spinning semicircular arrows will appear indicating that the reading process of the cables connected to that cable node is taking place. The duration of this process depends on the number of sensors, but as a good rule of thumb, an 8 cable CN reading could take up to 7 minutes (+ 1 minute it takes for the cable node to awake from its hibernation state). ![](https://knowledge.opisystems.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2021-11-18-08-56-PM.png) 3.  Allow enough time for the process to be done, then update the website by clicking on the Reload circular arrow: ![](https://knowledge.opisystems.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-12-2021-11-19-49-03-PM.png)   4.   Now, you should be able to see new temperature/moisture readings on the cables connected to that cable node. -
