[weewx-user] Re: Ambient 2095 (FOUSB) weewx not updating (KPAYORK45)
Ignore the post of August 28. I pulled up the wrong date. Still working since i changed the interval to 10 and we had another very wet day. Not for sure but looks more like this will not work at 5 minutes.

As of today the unit dropped again and in the morning when the humidity was very high, then restored after it got lower humidity. I now believe I have a transmitter that is dropping out. I am planning to pull it down during the day, remove the battery for an hour and see if the symptoms are the same. If that happens i will be looking at seeing if there is some problem with the weather seal on the unit.

[weewx-user] Ambient 2095 (FOUSB) weewx not updating (KPAYORK45)
With this situation configuration I get some instances where it looks like the station has gone off line see 8/23/2017 for an example. At this point I am pretty sure it is one of two things, I would be interested in the experience of others. My first thought it was the high humidity, you will see that the temp and dew point converge before the outage and diverge after. Ambient tells me that cannot be the case, the barometric pressure sensor is in the controller, not the outside sensor and it would not die if it was a failure of the radio link from the ourside unit. Although I see the wisdom in that, I am not sure and have not been able to confirm that if the RF shuts down, the barometer still continues to record. I think it is possible that if weewx does not get valid temp, wind, and rain it dies not record. I would be interested in whether anyone else has seen whether the RF fail stops barometer recording. I did find somewhere a note by a user of another Ambient that they had a problem if the interval was dropped to 5 minutes but did not comment if it was solid or intermittent failure. This started after I replaced batteries and the interval reset to 1 hour from the 10 minutes i liked. When i set it i set the interval to 5 minutes, not the previous 10 minutes and the problem seems to have started about that time. . It may be that the shorter interval and the polling interval conflict at 5 minutes. Anyone have any thoughts? I have not had a failure since i reset the interval to 10 but i also have not had the terribly high humidity either. I will post if I get a failure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
