I have no experience in anything electrical but have been tasked with setting up a Lufft WS601-UMB and connecting it to a CDMALINK-1E for data collection. I have no training so anything tips to help me get started would be great.

I didn't hear too much about the (finally) modern console that davis released a couple years ago so it though it talk about it. I love it! Its the best indoor display ive had on a weather station (Better than Acurite atlas and Ambient weather ws2000). The screen in terms of responsiveness and display quality is nearly on par with a mini ipad. You have a choice between light blue and a "high contrast" mode which is black and white with some color accents.

You can look at maps, future forecasts (if you choose to connect to the internet), past data/graphs and how your station data compared with historical averages. This also doubles as a console AND weatherlink live.

Anyone have thoughts? Any better weather station Displays out there?

Heres my station:Wunderground, CWOP, its a Vantage pro 2

I ordered the new WH46D 7-in-1 sensor, which I will use as a primary CO2 and humidity sensor. This is my 1st Ecowitt sensor, and along with the GW1100, I quickly paired it with the iPhone app. When plugged in, the sensor says it takes readings every 60 seconds, and I can see the CO2 change quickly.

When I took the sensor outside and plugged it in, I was disappointed that the temperature and humidity had hardly changed. The inside temp was 68F; the outside was 41F. I left it outside for 5 minutes and the CO2 dropped but the temp/humidity hasn't.

Do those with other temp/humidity/COs sensors like WH45 or the WM32P temp/humidity react quickly?

I have a Dylos DC1100 Pro, calibrated to .5um, and plan to test comparing readings in the coming days.

The only other temp/humidity sensor is the GW1100 wi-fi gateway to compare readings.

I’d like to mount the rain gauge 5 ft off the ground so I can keep the funnel clear of debris, and mount the anemometer on my roof for the most accurate wind information. Can I split them and have them both detected by the console?

I have my Ecowitt GW1100 from 3 months, and for the first time I'm experiencing this behaviour, basically seems that the signal from wind speeds halts acquisition for some time. Then it restarts measuring. I see the same in my home assistant. Do you think it is something with the hardware itself? Anyone experienced anything similar? Other sensors in the same timeframe acquire signal without interruption, and this happens with both wind speed and wind gust. Thank you

The recent Eaton Fire in California destroyed my Ambient Weather WS-1400-IP. What's a reasonable replacement and cost to advise my insurance adjuster?

Thanks for your thoughts!

I had rebooted my HP2551 EcoWitt dash board (panel?) this morning and I had connected & working my WS and 3 internal WN31b showing data on the panel. I push that data into Home Assistant and has worked for weeks...until today. 2 out of 3 temp/humidity sensors came back online in the panel except CH2 (#3 & #4 worked; I can't use ch1 for some reason).

I had to switch the WN31b to another channel (#5) for it to reconnect to the panel and show data...and eventually into HomeAssistant saw it.

Has anyone else had this problem with this type of set up? The 2/3/4 channels are indoor sensors and were not moved or changed when the panel was rebooted.

I wonder if anyone knows how the radio frequency & channels are allocated?

TIA!

My daughter is headed from Florida to Washington state this week. What are the best apps or way to track the weather before her route ? Thanks

Is this any good? Ambient Weather WS-4000 Solar Powered UltraSonic Wi-Fi Weather Station

Hi guys, question can someone provide me with a list of a few weather cameras that can be easily accessed like the live feed on a browser away from my home network? Not using a phone app or a like a Reolink NVR. Just looking for something easy to access online like a ring camera for example. Thanks!

PS! Wired and WIFI please

So I am talking about the sensor INSIDE the display unit.

I'm thinking some furniture cleaner or furniture "wax", etc, got sprayed into the plastic grills/openings on the case? Actually I have no idea - this C83332 lives at my mom's house.

The humidity always shows 1 or 2 percent, and I am certain the real reading would be much higher. I tried unplugging the unit and leaving the batteries out overnite - that did not fix the problem.

Anyway, anyone ever have this problem? Take the unit apart and maybe clean the sensor? I wonder what it looks like? How to clean it?

Thanks...

Hey everyone. My father in law loves keeping track of the weather but also lives in the middle of nowhere so internet access is slim to none and he has talked about getting a weather station for quite some time. I come here looking for recommendations as I plan on buying him one as a gift. It gets cold here we had -40 windchills last week. I would like something that can hold up under these conditions including snow. It would be a plus if it could be wired instead of battery powered. Let me know your thoughts

I got a LaCrosse 308-1425 and not sure what to make of its humidity readings.

https://www.amazon.com/Crosse-Technology-308-1425B-INT-Vertical-Wireless/dp/B00NMRZC4C

Indoors: shows 22%. I have some other widgets that indicate 33%. I am in Chicago, so humidifier was on low due to the cold. But still, 22% seems low

Outdoors: shows 38%. Weather app (source AccuWeather) is reporting 66%

Is this accuracy expected?

Here is a pic with outdoor sensor next to base and other widget - the outdoor sensor appears to agree with my Govee widget, but indoor is way off

I have a Campbell Scientific CR6 weather station located 70 yards from my home, and I need to connect it to my home network. I've researched various Wi-Fi solutions like range extenders, repeaters, boosters, and mesh systems. Considering high bandwidth isn't essential for my setup, which option would work best for ensuring a stable connection over this distance? Thanks for any help in advance!

hi everyone,

i'm not a hardware engineer and i've never really cared about the weather. but recently i needed to get a Tempest Weather Station in order to build an integration at work, so now i have a free system.

the mobile app is fine, but i don't want to develop a habit of using more apps. luckily here's where my job comes into play. we have an e-ink device called TRMNL that plugs into different apps. here is my display now:

Tempest Weather Station + TRMNL

not going to link anything, just wanted to share. but the code is open source if you find us on GitHub > TRMNL > Plugins repo.

I purchased an Imbesel Adjustable Outdoor Antenna Mounting Pole - Universal J Pipe Mount for Antenna & Weather Station - Easy Installation, Solid Structure, Weather Proof (Diameter 1 1/4", Length 33 1/4") and was wondering if I mount it on a 6’ high cinder block wall if that would be ok? It’s pretty far from my house.

We have 4 hospitals and am looking at setting up a weather station at each one. We specifically are looking for a system that can allow multiple uses to access the stations, the stations be displayed in one app/webpages and not publicly shared. Video feed would be a cool bonus.

Any help appreciated with this.

Edit: decided on the davis vantage station.

Help me out , what are parameters and things to learn to build own weather, I am farmer, weather prediction help me lot , I don’t where to start and what to learn to build good and own weather station

Hi there, first time poster, long-time lurker. I finally got the weather station I've been dreaming of for xmas this year, but now realize (as so many others have), that there's not one "perfect" site on my property.

I THINK the best location at this point is where you see the small metal pole at the corner of the pond, edge of the property near the sad willow. I live in central Oregon and we get sweltering heat and high winds, so I think the roof is out of the question as it's angled and would affect both.

I've marked on the satellite view with an X where I plan to put it. I'll make a hole, bury a 4x4 so the station can sit at 5-6 feet, then put a mast above that to raise the anemometer higher. Most of our wind comes from the West, where it'll be unblocked, and the site is on dirt in the winter, grass in the summer, but will be about 5 feet from the pond.

The rest of the property has great trees, or is too close to the house. Another caveat, we're on a 40 foot cliff into a canyon. I realize that'll affect my data as well, but measuring the strange canyon weather is one of the reasons I got this in the first place. Does this look good? Any other ideas you could see?

I bought and installed a ws-2000 and it's been great. Being new, I read and researched and analyzed a lot before buying. I saw a bunch of people also using the GW1100. It was also on sale (and cheap) when I bought the ws-2000 so I bought one.

So.... what does it do that the ws-2000 doesn't already do? I have a spare raspi lying around and will try setting up WeeWX. Is it needed to get the ws-2000 to talk with weewx?

I recently had to return a WS-2000 that I purchased new. The rainfall gauge worked for 2 weeks and then stopped reporting rain.

After I returned the weather station, I filled out their review they requested. I gave them a 2 star and explained why.

Guess who's review is NOT listed on their website? LOL, They don't have anything less than a 4 star review.

Buyer beware.

How does one reset the min/max temps and rain fall amounts on the Ambient Weather WS-1965? When I was setting it up inside yesterday it was 68°, but it's only 3° outside so that's really skewing my graphs and results!

Is there an apache plugin or Python script to provide the API for the "validated weather server"?

I would like the Logia weather station to connect to my server and report data locally. If you know how to set it up, please let me know, I could not find anything on the interwebs.

• I have a 20 year old wired Peet Brothers wired weather station on top of a roof. Sadly I don't climb.
• I'm surrounded by trees, so all too often I have to get someone to clean the rain gauge.
• I've been investigating wireless weather stations that have no moving parts for future ease of maintenance. I am thoroughly confused. For every station that people praise, others pan it. Tempest is highly rated in some reviews, and Consumer Reports gives it a 65. Tempest and Ecowitt get just over 4 stars in Amazon, yet for both almost 20% give them lower ratings. How the heck can I make a decision with so many conflicting sources? Attached is a photo of my station, with someone I've gotten to help maintain it. Can anyone put me out of my misery? ... and an indoor display is not necessary.
• Probably not : (

Hi, I've got a problem trying to connect my weather station to wifi at home. The instructions say to connect via wifi to a pc or phone, enter the Web address https://192.168.1.1 however despite trying this multiple times, different days, and on different devices it continually comes up with this webpage can't be reached. Has anyone else encountered this problem? How did you resolve it?

I have the Vantage Pro 2 wireless set up and reporting data to my vantage pro 2 console (not the new weatherlink one).

What do I need to start reporting my weather data to places like wunderground?

I looked around the Davis website, but it is not helpful at all from what I can tell.
