Adding & Connecting Your Station to Wi-Fi

LA CROSSE VIEW

LA CROSSE VIEW

Download the La Crosse View App

Visit the App Store or Google Play Store to download the free 
La Crosse View app onto your mobile device.

Stay connected to your home anytime, anywhere with the 

La Crosse View app.

Monitor your home environment and set custom alerts to 
notify you when conditions change.
Connecting your station is optional and the display will
function as a standalone unit without the Wi-Fi connection. 
However, we recommend connecting during the initial 
setup, as it will save you time and allows access to some 
advanced features right away.

Launch the App

Connecting Your Station to the App

Open the La Crosse View app. Follow the on-screen setup instructions 
to create an account, add new devices, and connect your station to 
your Wi-Fi network.

Stay Connected to Your Home

 

Anytime, 

Anywhere.

Now that you’ve created your La Crosse View account, it’s time to add your station into your account 
and connect your station to your home router using the La Crosse View app. 

NOTE:

 For the steps listed on the next page, you’ll need your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password. 

Make sure your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Checking Your Station’s Wi-Fi Status

Press the

 SET 

button on the top of the station to view your Wi-Fi Status.

Having Trouble Connecting to Wi-Fi?

The app should guide you through the best method for your Wi-Fi network and router. 
However, if you have trouble connecting, please go to: 

bit.ly/v61_wifi

 or scan the QR code.

This will explain additional connectivity options, including connecting by WPS
or contacting our technical support team for further assistance.

ALL OK CONNECTED: 

Your station is connected to your 

Wi-Fi and its data should be available on the station and in 

the app.

SEE APP TO CONNECT:

 

Check the app for notifications.

NO WEATHER SERVICE: 

Your Internet weather and time 

services are not connecting. These should resolve on their 

own, please be patient.

LOST WIFI: 

Check your router and network connections.

The La Crosse View app is required to connect the station to your Wi-Fi network. Download, install, 
and log into your La Crosse View account first.

New User Initial Setup:

 When first setting up 

your station, the app will lead you through a 
series of instructions to help get your station 
added into your account and connected to 
your home Wi-Fi network.

Manually Add & Connect Display:

 

After the 

initial walk-through, stations can be added and 
connected via the Devices tab in the app’s main 
menu. Simply tap the 

Add Device

 or 

+

 button at 

the bottom of the Devices page in the app. 

1.

Follow the initial app instructions or manually add the display into your account. 

2.

Next, the app will prompt you to use your phone to scan the device ID barcode located on the back of 
the station. Please note, adding a device to your account and connecting it to Wi-Fi are two different 
steps. You can complete either step separately after if you have any trouble.

When connected, the station will beep, and time and forecast information should populate on the 
display. The      indicator will become solid.
