Tip:
If the device doesn’t find your Wi-Fi network, make sure you have entered the correct
password and that you are connecting the WeatherLink Live to a 2.4 GHz network. It
will not connect to a 5 GHz network. Then try repeating these steps.
5. The LED will go solid when the phone is connected to the WeatherLink Live.
Note:
Connecting via Ethernet cable:
If wireless internet
is intermittent or not available, you can use an
Ethernet cable to connect your device to the internet.
You will still need to use the phone app to setup the
WeatherLink Live. Plug the included Ethernet cable
into the socket on the WeatherLink Live. Connect the
other end of the cable to your router. You will see
green and amber lights when the connection has
been established.
Set Up Your WeatherLink Live
1. When you are prompted, enter a name for your WeatherLink Live, such as
“Downtown Hayward Weather.” This name will be visible to all WeatherLink
users if you make your station “public.” The Device ID and activation date will
be entered automatically.
Note:
The field labeled “Archive Rate” refers to the frequency at which we store historical
data (archive records) for review later. (It is
not
the update rate.) The default rate of
15 minutes is appropriate for most users. To learn how to change this rate, see page
5: How can I change my archive rate?
2. In the next screen, a map opens with the location of your station. You can
change this by moving the pin. Tap
Next
.
3. Agree to the conditions on the next screen.
4. In the next screens, choose Wi-Fi or Ethernet. For Wi-Fi, select your Wi-Fi
network and enter the network password.
Set Up the Transmitting Station(s)
Once your WeatherLink Live is successfully installed, you will add your
transmitting station, or stations, to which it will “listen.”
1. Tap
Add Station & Sensors
.
2. In the next screen, tap the ID of the transmitting station. (This will probably be
ID 1, because Davis transmitters are set at the factory to transmit on ID 1.)
3. In the next screens, you will specify the type of transmitter: Vantage Vue or
Vantage Pro2 sensor suite (choose this one if you have a Vantage Pro2 Plus
sensor suite), Sensor Transmitter, or Leaf/Soil/Temp Station. You will be
prompted to choose model type and if appropriate, what sensors are installed.
Tip:
Tapping
Advanced Settings
allows you calibrate your sensor data. Most users will
not need to change these settings. However, you can calibrate wind, humidity, and
temperature, if needed. You can also change the type of anemometer or rain
collector. See page 5: My readings do not seem correct. Can I calibrate my sensors?
