It's all for fun, not security. We bought the house in 1998. Since Martha retired we have spent about five months a year there, from April-May to October, minus time here for grandkid birthdays. The rest of the time no one is there. Nothing has ever been taken. Of course it is accessible only by boat, about 75 minutes from Campbell River.
Thanks to Silvano's instructions I think I have most of what I want - solar, barometric pressure, humidity - that are missing from the Davis Weather Wizard II. One more thing I could use advice on is "wind run". From the Davis I get maximum wind speed and instantaneous wind speed six times per day. The instantaneous readings are of little use. If the max is, say, 35 mph, you know it is pretty windy, but how windy? "Wind run" is, I think, the measure of total wind past a point during a period of time. I think I could get from Hobby Boards an anemometer and a counter. Then count the revolutions of the anemometer during a day and convert that to a number, perhaps miles, that indicates the total wind for the day. I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks, Peter P.S. The house is off the grid. Power is provided by a micro hydro unit running off our creek. It charges two 6 volt golf cart batteries which power a 1200 watt inverter. the heart of the power system, though, is a DC powered Dietz digital timer. This is a great product and keeps accurate time. Six times a day it turns on the inverter. This powers on the cameras and the PC. The Davis unit is DC powered and always on.
