Has anyone successfully connected to the sensorstation interface via an ethernet and phone? If so, are there any tricks? are there phone settings you have to alter?
My current setup is iphone lightning to USB adapter, USB to ethernet cable, ethernet to USB, then to sensorstation.
This setup works on a computer (without the lightning to USB, of course).
Thanks!
That should work. Bring up a browser and for the URL type in sensorstation.local
I do sometimes have non-connection issues but mostly not. If I do have a problem, then I do the usual things: clear cache or try a different browser. One time, using Firefox, I did get an error about a setting being wrong and did I want to auto-fix that, so I did. But I don’t know what the issue was.

Closing any open windows in your web browser and re-opening the program once you’ve connected the ethernet tends to be the most helpful.
I make this connection regularly, however I cut out one dongle by using a lightning to ethernet adapter (but it shouldn’t really matter…).
The iPhone will tell you when an ethernet connection has been recognized (icon in upper left or in settings) as will the sensorstation. Turning off WiFi or cellular to force the web browser to use ethernet was helpful at first, but I find it’s not necessary and the connection is good straightaway.

We have had problems connecting with iphones via wifi
Just wanted to follow-up. I’ve been successful but not reliably. Some phones, on some stations, but I haven’t figured out the key to making it work reliable yet.
