Download the La Crosse View app and create your account

Download the La Crosse View app from the App Store or Google Play before touching any hardware. Create a free account and log in. Having the app ready before installation prevents delays during the Wi-Fi pairing step — you cannot pair the station without an active app session.

Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz

The 328-69357 requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and will not connect to 5GHz. Check your router settings before starting the pairing process. If your router is dual-band or a mesh system broadcasting both bands under one name, temporarily create a separate 2.4GHz SSID in your router admin panel. Connect your phone to that 2.4GHz network before starting the Smart Config pairing step.

Install batteries in the Breeze Pro sensor

Open the battery compartment on the Breeze Pro outdoor sensor and install 6 × AA batteries per the polarity markings. Before closing, check the wind cup set screw — grip the wind cups and attempt to rotate them independently of the sensor body. They should not rotate freely. If they do, tighten the set screw with a small screwdriver before mounting. This is a known quality control issue on some units and is much easier to address before the sensor is mounted at height.

Choose and prepare your mounting location

The Breeze Pro sensor needs an open location for accurate wind and rainfall measurement. Per La Crosse Technology’s placement guidance:

• Mount at least 10 feet high for representative wind readings
• At least 1.5 times the height of any nearby obstruction away from trees, buildings, or fences
• Level ground or a vertical mounting pole — the sensor must be plumb for accurate rain measurement
• Away from heat sources, AC units, dryer vents, and reflective surfaces that affect temperature readings
• Within wireless range of the console — walls and obstructions reduce range

Mount the Breeze Pro sensor and rain gauge

Attach the Breeze Pro sensor to your mounting pole or bracket using the included hardware. Attach the self-emptying rain gauge to the mounting arm and level it using the built-in bubble level — accurate rainfall measurement requires the gauge to be level. Clear the funnel of any packaging debris before first use. Confirm the wind cups rotate freely once mounted.

Power on the console and verify sensor reception

Connect the console to power via the AC adapter. The display will show dashes initially while searching for the outdoor sensor. Within 3 minutes of powering on the Breeze Pro, temperature and humidity readings should appear on the console. Wind readings may take a moment to register. Rainfall shows as 0.00 until the first rain event or a manual test tip of the gauge.

Connect to Wi-Fi via the La Crosse View app

With your phone connected to your 2.4GHz network, open the La Crosse View app and tap Add Device. Select your station model and follow the Smart Config prompts. The app will ask you to enter your Wi-Fi password — confirm you are entering the password for the 2.4GHz network specifically. The console LED will flash during the pairing process and turn solid once connected. The station should appear in your app dashboard within 2 minutes of successful connection.

If Smart Config fails after two attempts, try the alternative WPS method (press the WPS button on your router if available) or the manual AP mode setup described in your console menu. See our La Crosse 328-69357 not connecting page for full troubleshooting steps.

Calibrate barometric pressure

The console measures barometric pressure internally and auto-calibrates on first power-on. For more accurate local pressure and forecast readings, manually set the pressure offset using your local station pressure. Find your nearest official weather station reading from Weather Underground or your national met service, then access the pressure calibration menu in the console settings. This step is optional but improves the accuracy of the forecast icons.
