If you aren't concerned about a console you can get set up for half of your $300 budget. In fact you can buy two systems. (Keep one as a spare) I use the Ambient Weather WS-2902 array ($132) and the Ecowitt GW-1100 ($30) The array is accurate, has spare parts readily available and is well

May I make a unsolicited suggestion? Buy a Ecowitt GW-1100 (about $35). It listens to your outdoor array and sends that data to your pi over WiFi. It's very easy to set it up with WeeWx, the driver is well supported. Using any other method to get the data from the WS-2902 to WeeWx on the pi

I'd like to help answer some of your questions. Here's a little back story: I moved to a rural county and decided to build my own mesonet. I wish I could afford six Davis stations but I can't. I found the WS-2902 to be what I needed. Originally no display console was used, just array,

Going through the log it looks like I may have restarted the box when I installed an app. I didn't think I did it that early in the day, but I may have. I'll take the blame. Since then it's working flawlessly, the midnight total went away at 00:00. I'll know more Monday when it rains. Bill

Gary, I was happy today as we had a light snowfall this morning; when it melted we had some "rain" to measure. The first hundredth was great. What happened at .02? Bill On Thursday, February 27, 2020 at 7:23:39 AM UTC-6, Bill Arthur wrote: > > Gary, > > I use nano

Gary, I saved and restarted, then I rebooted. I've confirmed correct /etc/weewx/weewx.conf location listed in the /var/log/syslog file. I'm not aware of any other weewx.conf file I've set it back and I'm trying it again. Will advise On Tuesday, February 25, 2020 at 9:28:41 PM UTC-6, gjr80

[weewx-user] wxnow.txt does not contain precipitation totals

I recently added the cwxn extension so that I could pass the weather to my APRS/CWOP app Its working fairly well, but it only reports the current rain rate. The 1hr and 12hr (p and P) are always 000 We had 1.03" today so I had plenty of opportunities to test. The weewx html page shows the
