Replace the Old Device ID with the New

Your current data on WeatherLink.com is associated with your device through the Device ID or DID. For uninterrupted data, you must tell the system to replace or merge the old board’s DID with the new board’s DID. The new DID is on the label on the new board’s cover.

Open the EnviroMonitor app on your smart phone.
