Two weather stations with same name

Post by hasun »

By mistake my two weather stations have the same name.
To correct this I try to change the name of one station but the other station name is also changed.
How can I separate the names of my stations?

HI,
I would have turned one of them off by disconnecting the power. Change name on the one still online. Started the other one and finally given that one a new name, if still needed...

Hi mhaga,
Thank you so much for your response.
Your suggestion seems to be the obvious solution. I will try this.
Why did I not see this?

Thanks

Hi mhaga,

I have tried your suggestion without success.
The weather station name may be saved at Netatmo server and the two stations have been connected together there for some reason.
If i remove one station and reinstall it there may be a risk that both stations are uninstalled. However, one station is on a very large distant
and has to be on continuously.
How to solve this?

Best regards

Ok,
Are you sure it is the station name you change and not the home name?
I personally think the web-app is simpler to use for this than the mobile app.

https://my.netatmo.com
Log in with your netatmo username and password.

Under settings, drill down to your module. There is a rename function if you click the three dots to the right of the module name.

If you cannot get it to work, contact Netatmo support. They will help you.

It should look like this:

The web-app is more clear and easier to use, I agree. So that is what I prefer.
I thought Home and Weather Station name are the same? However, it is Home name I mean.
On top right corner on the webpage I select Settings and what appears is shown below.
Selecting manage my Home opens next window.
Pressing three dots then opens the possibility to change the Home name.
This is resulting in changing both Homes simultaneously. This is the overall problem.

Hi,
Home name and station name is not them same. I have two stations in the same home, with different names.
If you change home name, all modules in that home will be put in the "new" home.
If you have two homes, I think there is "move" function.
I do not completely understand what you are trying to do anymore.
You can rename all modules to what you prefere from here.
