You'll need to download the WeatherLink app to a compatible Android/Apple device.

In the account settings of the app, there's a section that says Devices with an "Add" button next to it. When clicking it, a menu appears and asks you to select either a WeatherLink Live, or an Airlink.

So if it appears in the list of devices, how do you set the wifi password?

Once you're connected to it via Bluetooth, there's a few steps to go through, such as naming your device and adding the location of of it etc. Once that's completed, it'll ask you to connect to the internet, either with Wi-Fi or ethernet. Clicking Wi-Fi will bring up a list of networks, and you click the one you're after, and then it'll ask for the Wi-Fi password.

When you power the WLL on, a blue light should start blinking on top of it, that's the bluetooth being activated. The app will then allow you to connect to the WLL. Obviously, make sure the device you're using has bluetooth turned on :D
