BTW! I have checked my 5-1 units fan to see if I can hear it running but I hear nothing I checked it Saturday and Sunday in bright sun light and a very warm day and never heard a thing. I have to assume it's not working. I received this unit for my birthday back in November but didn't get

M, I missed the last part when reading this on my phone but the intercept driver looks like the answer to my issue if I'm using the Ambient 900. Heck... I'll give my Acurite to my daughter to use out on their farm win-win lol! You guys are so smart!! Thank you for your help. Tony On

M, That is way cool!! I can let the Ambient upload to Weather Underground and I'll capture the sensors and use that with WeeWx to upload to my website. The SDR hardware looks pretty cheap. Would something like this work?

Craig, I'm very interested in trying this. My wife told me yesterday that she has bought me an Ambient Weather 900 IP Observer since my Acurite is not working the way it should. I'm not sure about the Ambient Weather unit but I do know it only uploads to Weather Underground which means it

Craig that sounds pretty interesting. I assume this should be another topic because I want to know more about the SDR. I have a very old Acurite unit that does not have a USB interface but it's REALLY accurate. It would be nice to be able to intercept the signal and use it with weewx. I assume

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

Well, that's disheartening. This station was a gift from my wife and I've tried every way I know of to make it accurate but there just doesn't seem to be a way. I have two consoles and neither of them agree on temperature, humidity or inside temperature. The weewx server seems to read the

Gary, sometimes we don't know enough to know what to search for. I'm sorry but I'm just learning how all this works. I can spend 40 hours searching for a 30 second fix or "man-up" and ask for help that's what I've done. Tony On Tuesday, February 21, 2017 at 5:10:26 PM UTC-6, gjr80 wrote:
