Operate your hardware

There is a new “Hardware” tab in the Perry Weather mobile app that allows you to manage and test your Outdoor Warning System. Please note that this feature is only for users that have the permission role “Admin” and “Limited Admin”

Test Your Outdoor Warning System Sirens

  1. Navigate to the “Hardware” tab, and tap on your weather station.
  2. Tap “Execute Tests”, and select which type of test you’d like to perform, “Delay”, “All Clear”, or if you wish to test your strobe light, “Turn on Light”
  3. You can also adjust your warning system settings by tapping on the “OWS Settings” and using the sliders to adjust the duration and frequency of the message being broadcasted.

The new Perry Weather app also supports sending custom PA messages via the Outdoor Warning System directly in the app. Here’s how to send one:

Send a PA Message

  1. Navigate to the “Hardware” tab, and tap on your weather station.
  2. Tap “Send PA”, and select from either a saved message from the dropdown, or alternatively, create your own custom message in the text box
  3. Select how many times you’d like the message to play via the dropdown, and press “Send Message”.
