Before starting with Ruuvi Station app
Ruuvi Station communicates with your Ruuvi sensors by either collecting the local sensor data using Bluetooth wireless connection available on your mobile device or by synchronising the sensor data to and from Ruuvi Cloud service when collecting local or remote sensor data using Ruuvi Gateway router.
Your Ruuvi sensor will have the ability to communicate with Ruuvi Station as soon as it’s out of the box! Make sure that your Ruuvi sensor is powered, within a reasonable distance from your mobile device or Ruuvi Gateway router and not blocked by physical barriers which typically obstruct or interfere with wireless signals. Quick Start guide for the Ruuvi Sensors can be found here.
If you are using Ruuvi Station with a Ruuvi Gateway router, make sure that it’s powered, connected to the internet and configured to send data to Ruuvi Cloud before continuing. Quick Start guide for Ruuvi Gateway router can be found here.
