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!
REMARK
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 final outdoor installation, come back and change the password after clearing console
history. That will start uploading to the services with a clean slate.
