Registration is only needed when BWS500 is to be connected to the Vaisala cloud service.

Before you can view the data in the Vaisala cloud service, BWS500 must be registered to your Vaisala cloud account. If Vaisala has not completed the registration on your behalf as a part of the order, you must register the device yourself. For registration, you need the following:

  • Credentials to your Vaisala cloud account (see the email sent to you when ordering BWS500)
  • EGW501 serial number (see the EGW501 type label)
  • Installation location

You can perform the registration before or after the installation.

  1. Log in to your Vaisala cloud admin account at platform.xweather.com.
  2. Select to connect your device, and then add it as a new device.
  3. Set the following for the new device:
    • Device model: BWS500
    • EGW501 serial number
    • BWS500 latitude, longitude, and altitude from the mean sea level
  4. After adding the new device, you can see its status, observations, and measurements in the Vaisala cloud service.
