[weewx-user] Looking for reliable weather station -- reliably working with WeeWX

2018-05-15 Thread Max G
I have used the WH3080 and 3081 with the occasional lookup problem, which is a known issue with the weather station hardware. It looks like the hardware had it; as in: I get the "Can't set a number" error in the EasyWeatherPlus software, when I want to set the Interval from 30 to 5 minutes. >Fr

Thanks guys... All clear now... as it so happens, my rPi1B had a corrupt SD card today... installed WeeWX on another Pi instead of fixing this one. I also had a second base station, which I now use to continue with the WH3080 for the time being. Given your input and what I researched the Acurit

When I look at my standard daily graphs, I notice they are not from the same date. How can I troubleshoot this problem? I installed WeeWX in May; changed the standard template by moving things around; e.g. standard stuff to the bottom, info at the top. It worked ever since, no changes... almost
