Weather Station

The evonHOME weather station is a simple way to receive local weather data and use it in your evonHOME.

The app “weather station” is located under “all apps” – “weather station”.

In order to use this weather station, open the global settings (“all apps” –“settings” – “global settings”) and drag the weather station to the first position for wind, rain, outside temperature and daylight (it is also possible to only use the weather station for wind).

Create

To use the evonHOME weather station, follow the following steps:

Mounting
Mount the weather station following the documentation (follow the instructions concerning the direction and distances carefully)

Connecting
Connect the evonHOME weather station 2-wire bus cable to the evonHOME CPU iX800 – ensure the polarity is correct (A-B) (recommended cable J-Y(ST)Y 2 x 2 x 0,8).

Power supply
Supply the evonHOME weather station with power (see documentation).

Add
Add a new weather station. If you have done everything correctly, a connection is established and your weather data are updated every second.

Note: Only one weather station can be operated by the CPU iX800.

Configuration

Wind alarm settings
The wind alarm settings let you define a wind speed above which an alarm is triggered. You can also define hysteresis so that the wind alarm does not trigger and end continuously should the wind speed oscillate around the alarm value. If you want that the wind alarm is active only after a certain time, then you need to enter a delay. This means that this time must be longer than the time set for “wind speed alarm”, so that a wind alarm is triggered.

Dawn/dusk settings
These settings let you define the light levels when dusk/dawn is active and inactive. Hysteresis and delay have the same functions as described previously.
