# Connect a Station

> An Ecowitt station you already own can post its readings through its own gateway. There are four settings to type.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sensors, then Connect a station">
    More → Sensors → **Connect a station**. The page says which gateways work: any Ecowitt gateway or console with a Customized upload, and the Froggit and Ambient Weather stations built on the same one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name it and pick its field">
    The name is what the Sensors tab shows. The field is where the channel 1 soil probe sits; leave it empty for a station with no soil probe.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy the four lines into the gateway">
    The app shows the protocol, server, path and port. In the WS View Plus app: the gateway → Weather Services → Customized → Enable, protocol Ecowitt, then those four. An upload interval of one to five minutes is fine. The path is the station's credential; the app shows it once.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait one interval">
    The first upload arrives within the interval you set. Until then the station shows as silent on the Sensors tab with what to check.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What You See Next

The station is a row on the Sensors tab with its last reading, how long ago it came and the day's line. Its readings are labelled measured on the field and in the record, with the station as their source. The full list of what is fed, and what is not, is on [Ecowitt Station](/devices/ecowitt-station).

## If It Does Not

| You see                             | It means                                | Do                                                                                   |

| Never reported                      | The upload settings on the gateway      | Server, path and port from the station's page in the app; the path is case sensitive |
| Reported once, then stopped         | The gateway lost its wifi               | Its light, then its app                                                              |
| The readings are on the wrong field | The station was placed on the wrong one | The station's page, then the field chip                                              |
