4.2. CONNECTING THE WEATHER STATION CONSOLE
TO WIFI
To send weather data to these services you must connect
your console to the internet via WiFi. The console can
only operate using WiFi when the external power adapter
is connected and plugged in. Note: If you are testing
the setup of the outdoor sensor package indoor, you
may want to consider connecting to WiFi, but not yet
configuring any of the weather services. The reason is
that indoor temperatures and humidity recorded by the
outdoor sensors will be reported to the weather service(s)
and they will reflect indoor conditions, and not outdoor
conditions. Therefore, they will be incorrect. Furthermore,
the udometer may be tripped during handling, causing rain
to register when it may not actually have been raining. The
configuration of the WiFi connection of the weather station
should be done after the sensors are installed outdoors!
4.2.1. DOWNLOAD MOBILE APPLICATION
WiFi configuration is done using your mobile device,
either iOS or Android. Start by downloading the "WS View"
application from the Apple App Store or Google Play store,
as appropriate for your device.
4.2.2. CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO WIFI
4.2.2.1. ANDROID USER

enter your WiFi password and press Next. If you own
a dual band router (2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz), make sure
you connect to the 2.4 GHz band, otherwise it will fail
to connect the weather station to WiFi.
