Thanks Thomas. I was looking through the Vantage driver, and was curious if there was a way to just "force" Vue. Saw something about setting the value to 17, but not sure that is accurate. Does it read that value out of the Envoy EEPROM? I can inquire with the MB developer and see if they have any thoughts. Since you tell the MB what station you have, seems like it should be able to report that back to Weewx.
One thing I do notice is there's a significant amount of "noise" in the graphs since switching over. If you take a look here: https://www.staze.org/weewx/ before about 2pm PDT when it'll roll off the graphs... maybe that's just the expected behavior with the LOOP data. Also, random, I set it to use both LOOP and LOOP2, and there's a note about setting to hardware for the values weewx would otherwise calculate. Those are currently set to "prefer_hardware". I assume that means it's still going to calculate on every packet that doesn't contain that data, so I should hard set to "hardware"? Maybe that'll remove the noise? Or is this also an MB side effect? On Tuesday, May 10, 2022 at 6:18:38 PM UTC-7 [email protected] wrote: > 1.
