In general, when emitting a value, WeeWX defers to the hardware. After all, that's why you own it. Occasionally, the hardware is wrong, and that seems to be the case for you.
One option is to set up [StdQC] to filter out the "bonker" values. Or, let the software calculate the values. Or, replace the hardware with something more reliable. -tk On Sat, Sep 15, 2018 at 5:50 AM T <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've noticed a thing when setting up my WMR89.
