"I want to see device information and current settings"
Hold Button 2 for 5 seconds
The display shows Device Information:
- Software version
- Current display mode
- Configured update intervals (weather and departures)
- WiFi status and IP address
- Battery level
"I want to manually update the software"
Hold Button 3 for 5 seconds
Triggers an immediate software update:
- MyStation-Go connects to the update server
- If a new version is available, it is downloaded and installed
- The device restarts after a successful update
💡 You normally don't need to do this — updates happen automatically overnight. Use this if you want to force an immediate update.
"The device is stuck or behaving incorrectly"
Slide the power switch to OFF, then back to ON to restart the device.
💡 This device has a built-in battery. The power switch is the correct way to restart it. All saved settings are preserved after a restart.
"I want to factory reset the device"
Hold Button 1 + Button 2 simultaneously for 5 seconds
Performs a factory reset:
- Clears all saved settings (WiFi, stop, configuration)
- Device restarts as brand new
- You will need to complete the full setup again
⚠️ This cannot be undone. Only use if you truly want to start over.
Temporary Mode Behavior
When you briefly press a button (Button 1, 2, or 3), the new mode is temporary:
- Duration: 2 minutes
- After 2 minutes, the display returns to the configured display mode
- The temporary mode is indicated on the display
This lets you quickly check weather or departures without permanently changing the configuration.
