Hi Nick
If you want to go with the FOSHK/Ecowitt ecosystem, have a look at their 
offers

(www.ecowitt.com) and what can be combined/extended with what
(https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=40730.0) and what a different 
brands of the same stations

- you need to register in order to see pictures.
In the UK stations are sold via https://www.amazon.co.uk and 
https://weatherspares.co.uk/, also via

https://www.nevadaradio.co.uk/ (Watson 8686)



Many thanks for that Rainer,

Ecowitt/FOSHK only because the cost of a Davies if out of my budget :-(

As long as it works nicely with Weewx that is all that is needed, extra 
sensors might be 'fun'.  The 'works' could be USB or network (Ethernet 
or WiFi) ... the console will be near the wifi AP so ...


The 'search facility' on Amazon is pitiful to say the least, I'm sure it 
is designed to attract the "Ooo shiny" brigade I find it infuriating - 
must be getting old ... :-)


A bit of searching needed I think

[weewx-user] Advice on replacement WxStn

[Nick Norman]

Afternoon to all the collective wisdom here,

The current WxStn (a WH3080 - by froggit, but seems ot be a fine offset) 
is playing silly beggars!


The console is not displaying temp/humidity not wind, but is showing luc 
& UV and Weewx reckons it is either not there or disconnected



ERROR weewx.drivers.fousb: get_observations failed: [Errno 19] No such 
device (it may have been disconnected)



and/or


INFO weewx.drivers.fousb: station status {'unknown': 0, 
'lost_connection': 64, 'rain_overflow': 0} (64)



The usual dance of power cycling the console results in no change.

A couple of week ago it did it and I went on the roof and changed the 
batteries, pressed reset and it sill did not work, so back up - take it 
all down, dry (it was not really wet) clean with alcohol and put back - 
still nothing.


I then gave up, powered down the console & stopped Weewx, about 24hrs 
later restarted everything and it worked ...


I've just repeated the dance and nothing ...

Thus the qeustions

a) any ideas?

b) replace but with what?  Thought about a GW1000 based like

 


or


Thoughts, ideas, suggestions ...

Many thanks

Happy seasonal things etc. & stay safe

Braved the loft and ... no data from the outside unit, but screen showed
inside data - however the weewx driver could not see anything,

Went on the roof (bungalow but still ...) all looked OK, checked the
batteries, find 'alkaline' rechargeable - never heard of.  Changed them
for normal NiMH and did the reset dance.

Nothing, gave up in disgust and over heated.



Just looked now and it is all back working ...

So was it dodgy batteries?

Will the normal NiMH be OK?

[weewx-user] Fineoffset WH3080 failure???

[Nick Norman]

Afternoon all,

Setup:

Weewx 4.1.1
OS Centos 7 - updated (except kernel for $REASONS)
Kernel 4.4.108-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
i5 processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650  @ 3.20GHz
Memory 8G
Weather console connected via D0Link DUB-H7
Located in the loft - hence warm-ish (currently 37c)

Been working 100% - allowing for the occasional lock-up due to the usb
getting tangled - cured by the powercycle script.

Today at about 10:35 it has stopped working.

The powercycle script fires off as it should but the result is still a
failure to connect (well the system says it's not there).

I have manually disconnected the hub and the station and re-connected
and still the error persists.

sections from the log file:
