    Why TESA Weather Station not reporting data to Wunderground.com?
    • K
      Kendra KeithAug 5, 2025
      There are several reasons why your TESA Weather Station might not be reporting data to Wunderground.com: 1. Double-check that the password you entered is correct and matches the one you registered with on Wunderground.com. Note that Wunderground.com passwords cannot begin with a non-alphanumeric character. 2. Verify that your station ID is correct, paying special attention to the capitalization and avoiding common substitutions like 'O' for '0'. 3. Ensure the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the console, as incorrect settings can lead to the reporting of outdated data. 4. Examine your router's firewall settings to confirm that data transmission via Port 80 is allowed.

    How to fix no WiFi connection on TESA WS2980C-PRO?
    • H

      To troubleshoot a missing WiFi connection on your TESA Weather Station, consider the following: 1. Check the display for the WiFi symbol, which indicates a successful wireless connection. 2. Verify that your modem's WiFi settings (network name and password) are accurate. 3. Ensure the console is connected to AC power, as it will not connect to WiFi on battery power alone. 4. Confirm that your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz signal, as the console does not support 5 GHz networks. If you have a dual-band router, you may need to disable the 5 GHz band and enable the 2.4 GHz band. 5. The console does not support guest networks.

    Why does TESA WS2980C-PRO Weather Station temperature sensor read too high during the day?
    • J
      Jesse FosterAug 20, 2025
      If your TESA Weather Station's temperature sensor is reading too high during the day, it might be due to the sensor array being located near heat sources such as buildings, pavement, walls, or air conditioning units. Relocate the sensor array away from these heat-generating structures. You can also use the calibration feature to offset any installation issues related to radiant heat sources.

    What to do if relative pressure on TESA WS2980C-PRO does not agree with official reporting station?
    • A
      Alicia DavisAug 26, 2025
      If the relative pressure on your TESA Weather Station doesn't match an official reporting station, first check that you are viewing the relative pressure and not the absolute pressure. If you are viewing the absolute pressure, select the relative pressure. Then, calibrate the sensor to an official local weather station.

    Why does TESA WS2980C-PRO rain gauge report rain when it is not raining?
    • J
      John JamesAug 29, 2025
      If your TESA Weather Station's rain gauge is reporting rain when it's not actually raining, the issue might be an unstable mounting. Ensure you have a stable and level mounting solution to prevent false readings caused by sway in the mounting pole.

    What to do if outdoor sensor array does not communicate with TESA Weather Station console?
    • R
      Robert SpearsNov 14, 2025
      If the outdoor sensor array isn't communicating with the TESA Weather Station console, try these steps: * Reset the console by pressing the reset button for 3 seconds (using an open-ended paperclip) to discharge the voltage. Then, remove the batteries and cover the solar panel for one minute to fully drain the voltage. Reinsert the batteries and resync the console with the sensor array, keeping them about 10 feet apart. The LED next to the battery compartment should flash every 16 seconds. * If the LED doesn't flash every 16 seconds, replace the batteries in the sensor array, ensuring correct polarity. * If the sensor flashes every 16 seconds, the issue might be temporary reception loss due to interference or other factors. Try powering down and up the console by removing AC power a...
