Before you begin
- Confirm that the station is online and sending data to the selected connection service.
- Keep the provider account sign-in details available. For API-key connections, the setup screen can open the provider page where the key is created or copied.
- For WiFiLogger, connect the device running Weather Fusion to the same local network as the logger.
Connect from the Start Screen
- Open Weather Fusion.
- On Connect to a Weather Station, select the option that matches the weather station model.
- Choose Continue.
- Follow the provider setup screen. Use its credential button to create or copy any required key, secret, or token without closing Weather Fusion, or complete account authorization.
- Choose a station when the setup screen presents a station list. Some account connections select the first available station automatically.
- Choose Done when the setup screen provides that action.
Weather Fusion opens Real Time and starts loading the station’s latest conditions. Historical data downloads according to the service’s access and history limits.
To add a station or change the connection after initial setup, open Settings › Data Source.
If the connection succeeds with an empty station list, confirm that the account owns or can access the station, then refresh the list.
