The WMR89 is a partial packet station, which means not all observation types get reported with every packet. You are using a short archive interval (60 seconds). Add that with a marginal battery, and it's possible that a value is not being received in the 60 seconds you are giving it.
The console will continue to display values because it is showing older values, left over from long-gone packets. A few things to try: 1. Run weewxd directly from the command line and watch how often you see the missing values. I'm betting you will have to wait longer than 60 seconds for some of them. 2. Change the archive interval to 5 minutes. 3. Change your batteries, or move the sensors to closer locations, where they won't be as sensitive to marginal batteries. -tk On Tue, Sep 11, 2018 at 2:03 AM T H <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I'm having problems with a lot of missing values from my WMR-89, and > I'm looking for ideas on how to solve/troubleshoot it. > > After my WH1080 stopped talking to my computer (display still works fine > though) I purchased an Oregeon Scientific WMR-89 as it seemed supported by > weewx and allowed me to place different sensors at different locations as > they are all wireless. > > Initially (the first hours) it seemed to work well, but sometimes when I > reloaded the file:///var/www/weewx/index.html file I'd see "N/A" at most > values under Current Conditions except for Inside Temperature which seems > to work well. > > Now, after running for about a week, it's worse.
