Maybe my fan isn't running, since I've got the dual solar panel version. I'll figure it out Sunday. The sensor on my front porch must be getting some light around 6 pm, because it gets too high then. Maybe I should figure out a way to get weewx to use the lower of the two temperature sensors

I bought the cover with the dual solar panels to help with the hot sunny days in the Sacramento area. First dual panel cover failed and they sent me an entire 5n1 with a dual solar panel after this post https://support.acurite.com/acurite/topics/outside-temp-to-high The dual solar panel keeps

Thanks Tom, I'll spend some time this weekend and fashion some sort of shade for the unit. The temperature sensor is under unit supposedly in the shade with a fan that pulls air by it 5-1 units are crazy lol!. The Ambient Weather stuff looks pretty good and very reasonable but I'm sure

I'm trying this interface with an raspberry pi but even that I see the data on the interface coming from the weather station the weewx doesn't work. Anybody has tried something similar to this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/152373970335?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Thanks. --

I used Matthew's implementation as it is already in the FO driver. I got the values I needed to use from the output of "lsusb -v". I didn't try to reset the station with the external application (bug-ctrl), but can try that too. Alex. 2017-04-13 15:56 GMT+03:00 Aldo Bord :

As someone who has problems with the occasional(scoff!) spike value; I highly recommend Darryn's - beta - qc.py replacement (links below). It may not fit your comfort level, and I don't think you could use it for rain or any other instrument (wind?) that can have spikes as a matter of course, but

The StdQC service is fairly basic and applies a simple max min limit to both loop packets and archive records. So the rain max min value is per loop period or archive interval. Yes, 60 inches as a default is unrealistic, I thought I read something about changing it but I could be wrong. Will

Thanks, the backfill in progress and I have a feeling my weather station might have problems as it's clear the erroneous readings have greatly increased. I have a question about the QC. It's clear what the temperature values (for example) should be, but rain is a cumulative thing, so over
