Two other considerations: Power supply: give some thought to a solar system to power the Pi. If it is as remote as it sounds, it sounds as if outages might easily occur? A solar system might even power the Davis unit; I don’t know the Envoy but if it uses alkaline batteries I am not sure of their tolerance for prolonged cold.
Wi-fi: not sure if you’re using wi-fi to connect any of the devices but if so, set the wi-fi router to a fixed channel, in addition to doing the IP address reservation. The fixed channel trick can make it easier for wi-fi <http://wi.fi/> systems to connect again after power stutters. > On 9 Dec, 2020, at 11:11, Sunray <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello, > Sorry if this has been brought up already.
