Table 13: Supported weather services

8.1 Configure Wi-Fi via BLE to connect the Weather Station

Console

To send weather data to these services you must configure console to be

connected to your Wi-Fi router for internet access.
During console credentials setting up, firmware updating, the communication

between your phone and console is based on Blue Tooth (BLE), so your phone

needs to be 16 feet/5 meter within the console radius. When the device has

connected to your network which also your phone is connected, then further

setup like live data, calibration, date, time zone etc will be based on your

WLAN and it is not so distance sensitive.
Note1: The Wi-Fi chip equipped on this console supports

802.11b mode

only

with 2.0 MHz CLK rate. Thus, some latest Wi-Fi routers or AP has to be

manually turned on 802.11b mode and even need to enable the latency mode

to host this device. Those known router or AP devices is:

Ubiquiti UAP-PRO
