Go to your S4 Waterrower monitor:

click 8 times the button "advanced" in order to get to the set water tank level
use arrow key to increase or decrease the amount of water in the tank
check python script output to check what level currently is set
If correct amount is set. Press "ok" button on the S4 monitor to store

Profit :)

Motivation

I bought for cheap a S4 Waterrower monitor with a cracked screen. As I only use the app Coxswain and also read the data via USB cable. I didn't mind the broken screen. But in order to have the correct caluclation for power, the amount of water in the tank has to be correct. Therefore I wrote a little script in order to read the level out of the memory of the S4 and interact with the monitor to set it to the right amount of water. I haven't found a way yet to set it from the pc.
