6. Wi-Fi Configure with gateway
This rain sensor doesn’t has a display function and you
need to use our WS View Plus or Ecowitt App to view
the rainfall data on your mobile application after pairing
this device with our Wi-Fi Gateway(sold separately).
Note:
If you are testing the setup with the rain sensor
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 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 data history. That will start uploading to the
services with a clean slate.
6.1 Pair with Gateway
If the WiFi Gateway has been in operation, and you have
never had any rain sensor setup before, just power up
rain sensor and the WiFi Gateway will pick rain data
automatically. You can check that on the Live Data page
of the WS View Plus or Ecowitt App.
