1. Introduction The Qubino Weather Station is a Z-Wave supported weather station able to collect 10 essential values: indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, rain rate and wind direction, speed, gust, temperature and wind chill. All measured data is sent to your Z-Wave network to help you control your smart home devices.
Page 8
The Qubino Weather Station Key receives wireless data packages from thermo/hygro sensors 1 and 2, the rain sensor and the wind gauge and sends it to the Z-Wave gateway (hub). When plugged into the USB power adapter, it receives data for temperature, wind chill, wind speed, wind gust, wind direction, humidity, rain rate and battery level for each sensor.
We have prepared a few of them for you so you can get an idea for your next smart home project. Of course, there are countless of other options for how to use Qubino Weather Station to make your life easier.

Page 21
AUTO-INCLUSION 1. Enable inclusion mode on your Z-Wave gateway (hub) 2. Connect the USB key to the USB power supply 3. Auto-inclusion will be initiated within 5 seconds of connection to the power supply and the device will automatically enrol in your network MANUAL INCLUSION 1.
9. Removing the device from a Z-Wave network (Exclusion) Z-WAVE EXCLUSION 1. Connect the USB key to the USB power supply 2. Make sure the USB key is within direct range of your Z-Wave gateway (hub) or use a hand- held Z-Wave remote to perform exclusion 3.
10. Associations Use associations for direct communication between the Weather station and other devices within your Z-Wave network without the need to use the gateway (hub). Association Groups: Root device: Group 1: Lifeline group (reserved for communication with the gateway (hub)), 1 node allowed.
Page 24
End point 5: Wind Gauge – Temperature Group 1: Lifeline group, 0 nodes allowed. Endpoint 5 receives Temperature data from Wind Gauge. It is capable of receiving data in range of -199.0°C and 199.0°C. However, the operating temperature of the sensor is from -10°C to 60°C.
11. Configuration Parameters Parameter No. 1 – Wind Gauge, Wind Gust Top Value Values (size is 2 byte dec): default value 1000 (10.00 m/s) 0 – 8800 = value from 0.00 m/s to 88.00 m/s - if the Wind Gust is Higher than the parameter value, the device triggers an association.

- Ideally, place the sensor above natural surfaces such as a grassy lawn. - The international standard height for measurements of air temperature is at 1.25m (4 ft) above ground level. Setting up the Rain Sensor 1. Unlock the funnel-shaped top of the rain sensor by turning both knobs on the sides of the rain sensor in an anti-clockwise direction.
Page 37
Setting up the Anemometer (Wind gauge) 1. Assemble the wind cups and wind vane to the anemometer arm 2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base. 3. Insert two 2 x UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5 V batteries into the battery holder in the base and connect the second battery to the solar panel connector.
Page 38
Anemometer - Check that the wind vane and wind cups can spin freely and are free from dirt, debris or spider webs. Rain Sensor Like all rain gauges, the rain sensor is prone to blockages due to its funnel shape. Checking and cleaning the rain sensor from time to time will maintain the accuracy of rain measurements.
