Good question for @dsj . . . I have seen a picture of their rooftop testing array so I suspect that they have a heap of Hubs involved, too (although, as we know, they could connect a number of sensors to a single Hub). ---

Maybe dsjā€™s answer there > [@Query HUB for attached Devices](https://community.tempest.earth/t/query-hub-for-attached-devices/757/23): > > When the Hub is put in ā€œpairing modeā€ it will connect to any AIR looking for a Hub. And the Hub keeps a list of AIR serial numbers to which it has paired. Will also be a part of an answer for some of the question we discussed here. ---

> [@dsfg](#): > > How about sharing one station between two accounts, maybe with different display options an access rights ? To enable sharing, we provide a ā€˜shareā€™ URL / webpage for station owners with public data. You can see your personal ā€˜shareā€™ URL by logging into [smartweather.weatherflow.com](http://smartweather.weatherflow.com). Your share URL will be noted at the bottom of the page. Like this: [Tempest](https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/share/1934) Data format preferences are stored at the account level and cannot currently be provisioned differently on the display side. If this becomes a major user request, we can evaluate it against our (long) list of other feature priorities. ---

Iā€™m right if I consider : - the share URL is not be able to be integrated into the app ? - there is actually no possibility between a totally private and a totally public station? ---

- The share uses the web application. - A private station cannot be shared. Did I answer your non-question questions? ---

As @GaryFunk mentioned, the Share URL leverages the our web application. It has been optimized for mobile so the data display appears nearly identical to the native mobile app when viewed on a mobile browser. Stations marked as private can only be accessed by authentication with your WF username and password. At your discretion, you are welcome to share your WF username and password with anyone you trust so they can access your station if marked as private. Anyone with your credentials will have access to your account-level settings. What is the user scenario you are trying to accommodate and why? Weā€™re happy to explain how to solve. ---

I set up one hub upstairs then installed the SKY on the roof and AIR on the front porch. I then went to my basement at the opposite end of the house and set up my second station. I left that hub in the basement and it reaches the SKY and AIR just fine and had no interference. This leads me to believe that there isnā€™t necessarily a conflict on the WiFi network as much as there is a Bluetooth issue, as has been noted by @vreihen. ---

There has never been a conflict with Wi-Fi. The issue has always been that when the phone application connects to more than one Hub. ---

You have two stations, for example one at your family home and the other one at your work places flat, then you might have both stations in one account for yourself, to get the rain warning for example for both sides, as it is on interest for me at the same level. One the other hand, the rest of my family doesnā€™t care of the weather conditions at my work town. Instead, they definitely care on the weather at our families home. Hence, my wife for example or the Homeweatherscreen will have a different order of Information then I have. Furthermore, as you try to integrate the information of the SWS into a (smart) home system by use of the weatherflow cloud services it might actually be easier to have only one station within one account. ---

Interest concept. Push alerts are only within the phone application and (to date) only one application can be installed on a device. If the application could support multiple accounts that would solve the issue. ---

That would be the second way to a suitable solution. Thanks for this supplement. ---

I think both options would be suitable for that situation. Whatever is easier in implementationā€¦? ---

Maybe if the app allowed a person to add ā€œguestā€ stations to their alert list it would take care of the need. Any public stations could be selected. Then, add the option for a station owner to setup a guest account, which could be used by whom ever they choose, so that private station could be added as a ā€œguestā€ station. I donā€™t know how the alert backend works so this might not be as easy as it looks. I was also thinking that maybe the shared station web page could be coded as a PWA and then alerts from any public station would be trivial for the end user. ---

@dsfg Thanks for the use case explanation. Certainly complicated from a data base and user credential standpoint. For customer alerts, we would advise the use of IFTTT where you can configure specific alerts to specific people for specific stations. Provisioning multi-user customization within the same WF account will require some hefty coding on our side. Weā€™ll certainly consider it, but please donā€™t hold your breath as we do not expect this feature to rise to the top of our prioritization queue in the coming months. (being honest).
