Monitor your environment and optimise your living space
Register your device
First download the Netatmo app from Google Play or iTunes, or access it from your desktop. From here, create a Netatmo account and start setting up your sensors. The app will guide you through the process. The sensors are pre-paired, so it’s simply a matter of connecting them to your home Wi-Fi.
Location, location, location
Once it’s set up, name your indoor sensor. We recommend naming it after the room it’s in for convenience. Although they’re weatherproof, keep the sensors out of direct sunlight. It’s also important to keep them relatively close to each other and your router to maintain their connection.
Get the data
Now you can access the environmental data on the app’s main page. Measurements for outside are on top, there’s a scrollable six-day weather forecast in the middle and at the bottom you have the data for inside. Not sure what a measurement is? Tap the ‘i’ on the right of the screen and a transparent overlay will tell you.
Make it personal
On the app’s settings, click your station’s name and scroll down to ‘advanced settings’ to personalise your notifications. There are eight notifications to turn on or off but you can set more specific alerts too. If you want to know when a room has reached a certain temperature, Netatmo can alert you.
More modules
Adding more modules can be done on the app’s main page. To add the wind and rain gauges, swipe left on the outdoor section of the display and the options to install them will appear. Tapping install will prompt the app to guide you through the process of setting up these modules and connecting them to your existing network.
Add ing Alexa
Finally you can connect your Netatmo Weather Station to an Amazon Alexa-enabled device. The Alexa Netatmo skill is free and you can enable it on the Alexa skills page. Then you can ask Alexa for information rather than opening the app. Make sure you specify “ask Netatmo” in every request so Alexa doesn’t search online.
