What weather station should I choose?
I have now had a Oregon WMR100N for 4-5 years time. And it has never been anything but a pain in the ass. Loosing contact with the sensors all the time, and stopping sending out data on the USB randomly. And now the rain sensor completely died on me. Trying to get in contact with the Oregon support. But after my last experiences and comments on their support I have little trust in any help there. So.. What weather station should I buy now? It must be one that can put the data on internett. And hopefully it has separated censors so that the sun does not affect the temperature measurement. Any ideas?

Sun? but you're in Norway! 
The Fine Offset range are cheap and relatively reliable. Battery life is good and spares are available.
If you've got the money then the Davis weatherstations are very nice.

True true.. but boring to get 30 degrees Celsius the 4 days a year we get sun.tumutbound wrote:Sun? but you're in Norway!

Fine Offset range looked very much like something I could afford. Maybe I'll go for the WH3081 Cumulus supports it also?

Hi,
Yes, Cumulus is compatible with the WH-308x (Solar) stations.
It really needs some kind of modification (not easy) to give acceptable temperature measurements.
Cheers, Alan.

The Wind (and rain) sensors have cables 2 - 3 metres long (and can be extended), but the Solar Pod is "permanently" attached to the "Sun shield" of the Temperature/Humidity Transmitter.Snicker wrote:And hopefully it has separated censors so that the sun does not affect the temperature measurement.

Re: What weather station should I choose?
Aren't the solar versions that use rechargeable batteries a bit more error prone than the standard Fine Offsets?
