Re: [weewx-user] Re: Problems reading values from WMR-89

Hi, So I think I've got it all figured out now, and thought I'd post here so that anyone else facing similar problems might benefit from my findings. It turned out I had both connection problems between the outdoor temperature/humidity sensor and the WMR89, and a problem with the archive_interval

Thanks, Chris I worry that this approach doesn't cover the case where the "previous" record has, say, a timestamp far in the future. This patch would cause all of the remaining records to get thrown out, but the "future" record to be kept. In any case, it's way better than what we have, which all

[weewx-user] Windchill generated wrong when using WMR89 and not getting outdoor temp readings

Hi, I've noticed a thing when setting up my WMR89. I've found the "Windchill generated wrong." thread from december 2017 but I don't see any conclusive solution there, just a suggestion to switch to software windchill, and then a suggestion there might be a bug in the WMR200 driver. On my WMR89,

Re: [weewx-user] Windchill generated wrong when using WMR89 and not getting outdoor temp readings

In general, when emitting a value, WeeWX defers to the hardware. After all, that's why you own it. Occasionally, the hardware is wrong, and that seems to be the case for you. One option is to set up [StdQC] to filter out the "bonker" values. Or, let the software calculate the values. Or, replace
