The Four Steps to Buying Maximum’s Wi-Fi Instruments

Choose Your Wi-Fi Compatible Instruments

Going Wi-Fi is easy. Start by browsing the Wi-Fi compatible instruments section on this website to choose the functions and models you prefer, select the face and dial color and other specs to suit your design sensibilities. Add them to your cart and then proceed to order the number of Wi-Fi sensors and Instrument Interfaces you require (as described below).

Purchase Wi-Fi Wi-Fi Sensor(s) and Instrument Interface(s)

Each Wi-Fi instrument will require both a Wi-Fi Sensor (placed near where the outside instrument is situated) and an Instrument Interface (placed near where your instrument will be displayed inside your home). Maximum offers a Wi-Fi set-up kit that has everything you need for a single instrument. If you would like to add more instruments to your array, simply purchase additional, individual Wi-Fi Sensors and Instrument Interfaces to match the type and number of additional instruments you are purchasing.

Choose Your Accessories

Next, you will choose your accessories. Maximum offers high quality wooden mounting panels for displaying  3 to 6 instruments. These accessories add to the visual appeal of your fine instruments inside your home. There is a variety layout variations and most come in your choice of oak or mahogany.

Install and Enjoy Your Maximum Weather Instruments

Once your Wi-Fi compatible instruments arrive, all that’s left is to install the sensors and interfaces, connect them to the Weather Underground App (Optional but highly recommended) and enjoy! The installation process is very straightforward, but our team stands ready to assist by answering any questions you may have! (Mon-Fri 8:30AM-5:30PM EST)

1. Wind Speed and Direction – Typically attached to the roof of your home, a wind sensor will be able to inform you of the speed and direction of the wind just outside.
2. Temperature and Humidity – We usually place temperature and humidity sensors on the north side of your home in a shaded or sheltered area for the most accurate readings.
3. Rainfall – Of course, a rainfall instrument will be placed outside. Most often through a collector bucket, you will be able to measure exactly how much rain you’ve received.
4. WiFi Sensor Interface – Place your WiFi sensor interface in whatever discrete location works best for your home, as long as you and your family have easy access.
5. WiFi Instrument Interface – You should also be mindful of where you place the WiFi weather instrument interface, as you will need to be able to have easy access to this component in addition to your sensor.
6. Weather Station – Display your classic weather station in the center of your home for an elegant touch. With our WiFi weather stations, you will never lose the special, classic feel of a traditional instrument.
7. Desktop and Mobile Devices – With your own devices, through Weather Underground, you can access all of your instrument weather readings wherever you are in your home!
