CONNECTING YOUR AMBIENT WEATHER WEATHER STATION
Log into the Jane’s Weather website, then click on your name / profile picture on the upper right-hand corner to access [Account Settings].
Select the [Weather Stations] tab, and under “Add Weather Station,” select [Connect my current weather station].
Proceed to fill in the following fields:
- Weather Station Name: The weather station name you’d like to use in Jane’s Weather.
- Weather Station Provider: The brand of your weather station, where you bought it from, or any other details to help us connect to the correct API to ingest your observational data.
Example: Ambient Weather
- Station ID / UUID / Tenant ID: A unique number / that identifies your station.
Example: Insecs_Ambient
To properly populate the next field, log on to the Ambient Weather dashboard and go to the “API Keys” section of the Dashboard. Click on the “Create API Key” or “Generate API Key” button. A new API key will be generated and displayed on the screen.
- API Key: Copy the API key as generated on the Ambient Weather website into your API key field in Jane’s Weather.
Click [Save Changes]. The station will appear as ‘pending.’ This ‘pending’ notification will change to ‘ready’ once your weather station has been integrated to optimise your forecast. Once integrated into your profile, you'll be able to view real-time observations on your NOW page, access forecasts tailored to this weather station's microclimate, and set custom thresholds and notifications for it.
Allow time for your microclimate to appear as ready as the machine learning adapts the forecast to your conditions.
