Create your site

Most owners are done in about five minutes. The video tutorial walks through the same steps with a Davis station.

What you'll need

• Davis: a WeatherLink account the station reports to.
• Ecowitt or Tempest: your account on the vendor's cloud, or for Ecowitt, the gateway's own upload settings.
• Anything else: weewx, Meteobridge or CumulusMX already reading the station.

1. Create your account

Go to pro-weather.com, choose Get started and sign up with your email and a password. Open the confirmation email and choose Confirm my email, or type the code from the email on the signup page. The link and code expire after 24 hours and work once.

No email? Check your spam folder, then use the resend button on the confirmation screen. Signing up with Google or GitHub skips this step.

2. Name your site

Your first visit to the dashboard opens this step. Later sites start from New site.

• Site name: shown at the top of your site. Your town or station name works well.
• Address: like yourname.pro-weather.com. Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens, 3 to 63 characters.

Both can be changed later. Choose Create my site.

Your first site starts a free 14-day trial, no card needed. An account holds up to 10 sites, each with its own plan.

3. Connect your station

Pick your hardware and how it should reach us. Setup then shows only that route:

• WeatherLink: paste your API key and secret. How to get them.
• Ecowitt Cloud or Tempest: paste the key from your vendor account. Where to find it.
• Upload URL: copy the settings into your gateway or software. The page waits for the first reading. Settings per device.

The rest of Setup → Connection (history import, a second source, time zone and coordinates) can wait until your site is live.

4. Go live

New sites start as drafts. Choose Publish my site and your site is public; readings refresh about every minute from then on. Unpublish, at the top of your site's dashboard, takes it offline without losing anything.

The Overview then shows a short What's next list. Hide it when you are done.
