Open the app, the dashboard is displayed. Tap „Add“ new sensor and scan the sensor‘s QR code. A copy of the sensor code is attached.
Then set a name for the sensor. Now you can read the measured values on your mobile phone.
Positioning
The wind sensor must be installed with the front of the sensor (the solar panel) facing true south, or the reported wind direction will not
be accurate. Mount within the wireless range of the WeatherHub gateway and ideally on the same side of the house. Secure the main
unit to the shaft of the mast holder. Use the right-angle adaptor if the wind sensor will be mounted on a horizontal mast or surface.
Fasten the wind sensor to a suitable mast using the two U-bolts, washers and nuts included.

Note:
Mount the wind sensor onto a mast so the wind can reach the sensor unobstructed from all directions for an accurate reading. The ideal
mast is between 16 mm and 33mm in diameter. The wind sensor does not have replaceable batteries; it consumes solar power and
charges the internal battery pack automatically. Please consider when choosing a location that the solar panel gets enough sunlight and
is not covered by objects to guarantee a long-term sufficient power supply.
