The weather station can also operate alone - showing weather data on
the display console and computer (only if the weather station console and
computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi). It doesn’t require an internet
connection to operate in this mode.
Android Software Operation
Connecting the Weather Station Console to Wi-Fi
To send weather data to these services you must connect your console to
the internet via Wi-Fi. The console can only operate using Wi-Fi when the
external power adapter is connected and plugged in!
Note: If you are testing the setup with the outdoor sensor package
nearby and indoor, you may want to consider connecting to Wi-Fi,
but not yet configuring any of the weather services. The reason is
that while indoor the temperatures and humidity recorded by the
outdoor sensor, and as reported to the weather service(s) will
reflect indoor conditions and not outdoor conditions. Therefore,
they will be incorrect. Furthermore, the rainfall bucket may be
tripped during handling, causing rain to register while it may not
actually have been raining. One way to prevent this is to follow all
instructions, except to use an incorrect password on purpose!
Then, after the final outdoor installation, come back and change
the password after clearing console history. That will start
uploading to the services with a clean slate.
Download mobile application
Wi-Fi configuration is done using your mobile. Start by downloading the
“WS View” application from the Google Play store.
