The WS-50-C includes a Wi-Fi chip that connects to the 2.4 GHz band on your router and sends data
automatically once per minute to our cloud services, AmbientWeather.net.
AmbientWeather.net captures, stores, and sends data to other services, such as WeatherUndergroud.com,
PWSWeather.com, IFTTT, Amazon Alexa, Google Home and more. Application Programming Interface
(API) is available for programmers and third-party programmers.
Connect your Device to the Console's Wi-Fi
Make sure your console is plugged into AC power. It will not connect to Wi-Fi otherwise.
When you first power up the console, or press and hold the MIN/MAX- button for three seconds, the Wi-Fi
icon will flash to signify that it has entered wireless access point (WAP) mode, and is ready to
connect to the console's Wi-Fi.
You can use your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smart phone to connect to the console's Wi-Fi. The console's
network name begins with WeatherHome, followed by a unique code.
Once completed, you will return your device to the normal Wi-Fi settings.
Example 1. Connect to the console Wi-Fi server with a PC.
Choose Wi-Fi network settings from Windows (or search “Change Wi-Fi Settings” from Windows), and
Connect to the WeatherHome, as shown in Figure 52 (your Wi-Fi network name may be slightly different
but will always begin with WeatherHome).
