Plug your FlowTracker into any USB power source. On first boot, the display will show "CONNECTING..." followed by a setup portal message if it can't find a saved Wi-Fi network.
On your phone or computer, connect to the Wi-Fi network named FlowTracker-Setup. A configuration page will automatically open.
Enter your home Wi-Fi credentials and select up to 12 USGS gauges. You can search by county or enter specific USGS Site IDs directly.
Set your "Desired" flow and "Warning" flow for each gauge. Values at or above your desired level display in green; at or above your warning level display in red. Save and your FlowTracker will restart and begin fetching data.
Three capacitive touch buttons on the front panel let you navigate without opening any app. NEXT and PREV cycle through your configured gauges. The INFO button shows your device's IP address and current firmware version. Buttons work through the acrylic cover — no openings required.
