I'm curious what hardware you are running WeeWX on, and your experience with it. So, this is not about the weather station and the sensors, but the device which is running the service. The reason I ask this here, is because the issues I experienced with my hardware might be related to weewx and writing it's logs, and we all know the first rule for posting a question here :D
Since my first WeeWX installation in 2015, I've been using every generation of the RaspberryPi B, except for the 5th. But looking back it, has sometimes has been a royal PITA. It's not that I consider the Pi being bad at all, but I've been having issues with whatever storage I've been using. SD-Cards were a total disaster, USB flash drives were slightly better, USB attached SSDs, at least, lasted more than two years before being attached to the Pi killed them. The only type that didn't fail so far, was a NFS provided by a QNAP NAS, but this Kind of setup is a bit complex to maintain, and starting the NAS over, means quite a bit of downtime for the Pi also. The Pi never was intended to be a server running 24/7, considering this, it's success in being used as such, is beyond imagination. Anyway, my experience for the Pi being a storage killer, doesn't seem to be uncommon. It's original intention was satisfied: I learned a lot about how not to lose data with unreliable hardware. Since 2015, my database isn't missing more than one archive value a day in average and the longest gap is about two hours back in early 2016, using the standard interval of 5 minutes. What hardware are you using, what is your experience? Can you suggest hardware with low power consumption as a requirement? What about the newest generation, like Intel n100 based systems? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
