Hi marie,

 

Initially I couldn't get the weather station to connect to my WiFi and
thought there was a problem, but it turned out to be a bug in their firmware
which wouldn't let it connect to the specific setup I had with a regular,
non Wi-Fi enabled router and an Airport Express which I used to create my
WiFi. I ended up buying a new router and it worked fine although the setup
process on the PC with their wizard is not very accessible. It can be done
if you use Jaws 13 or Jaws 14 by using the Jaws convenient OCR feature, you
basically have to do the OCR on several setup screens and use the Jaws
cursor to click on stuff, far from ideal and somewhat tricky. It is,
however, a snap if you have sighted help, takes all of 2 minutes.

 

Now, having said this, I am actually once again changing my router in a
couple of days and because of it I will have to reconfigure the weather
station to connect to my new WiFi network. I was told by Netatmo that they
improved this process on the iPhone since you don't have to use a computer
to connect your weather station. You can also do it via the app, but in the
past this was also inaccessible. I assume a few more days won't matter to
you, so let me check if this works and how well it works and I'll let you
know. This initial setup is something you won't ever have to do again unless
you change your WiFi in any way and, as I said, the app for daily
use/checking of weather related information is now very nicely accessible.

 

 

Talk to you soon,

Sieghard

Thank you very much for this information, I am very interested in this as it
seems to be the only accessible weather station available at the moment,
could you please outline the difficulties you had connecting the station to
your WIFI set up and explaining details how you managed to resolve them
either on or off list?

I haven't got anyone with useful vision or technically minded around me
therefore wouldn't buy the station if it was very tricky to set up
independently.

Your thoughts/comments very much welcomed on this matter and all other
information you think I should know before buying this device, on or off
list.

Thank you in advance,

Looking forward to reading more!

Marie
