SO nearly a year... First thing to report is that the board layout of the 433 MHz unit is significantly different and I'm having trouble locating the CPU reset. On the 868 Solar unit, it's brought out to a connector so that the push button on the solar head can be used to force a remote reset - ther...

Hi Uncle_Bob, Hope you had a good Christmas and I guess that as I'm writing this, you'll be on the beach seeing the New Year in - I've another 13 hours to wait! I hope that you have a good time... In short, an unmitigated success. I'm now looking at the collected data and my web site design instead ...

If it helps this discussion, my station is set up in a similar way to yours. I have left the 'scrapper' laptop running continuously since 2012, having deactivated screensavers and enabled the always on power options. The battery was already u/s and it runs with the lid closed, so the screen isn't on...

TWO weeks! I'm looking forward to monitoring my first weather event in ages (Storm Diana, due tomorrow) - as the station has traditionally reported 'lost sensor contact' just as things get interesting. I've attempted to identify the rogue pad below. The reset circuit seems to be comprised of C1, R10...

Thanks Uncle_Bob. That is of interest. I'll probably go that way because nothing short of a Davis seems to meet all of my needs. Anyway, the addition of the pull up has given me some breathing space. After one week, I haven't had a single drop out. After years of living with the problem, recently on...

Just a thought. I'd even considered junking the whole lot, as several users have advised.
Any recommendation for a similar budget system with PC connectivity and solar measurement? There doesn't seem to be may around !

I thought I'd share my finding. Like so many others, I have had serious problems with wireless comms. I moved from a 433 system to 868 because of the interference from next door's wireless security system, so I was dismayed to find the initially good 868 system gradually deteriorating. I have even b...

Well, I didn't get very far with the SDR approach. I had a little problem with my carrier smashing up the faulty 868 unit on return and having to go through the insurance claim rigmarole. The 868 MHz unit is now on and running well. Well, for about 9 months... Guess what, the interference has now cr...

Thanks for the steers. I am currently looking at the weatherduino solution that you've pointed at, but can't quite yet get my head around what I need to buy and what I can build. I can see how to use my current sensors, so this approach looks like it might be a go-er. I can probably review the sourc...

I have used the WH1081 for 4 years, with little trouble (usual sensor wear and tear and bird poop). Recently, a new radio signal popped up on 433.92. This repeatedly sent a 250ms burst every 10 seconds or so, starting at around bedtime. Due to the Fine Offset communications protocol, this didn't giv...

Just for information, my ISP 'PlusNet' cut off my account on Tuesday because I had set the 'real time' update too frequent. OK, perhaps every 5 seconds was a bit enthusiastic but the page looked really good. At the moment, after persuading them that a regular update from me was legitimate, I have be...
