Re: [weewx-user] Replacement for Vantage Pro 2

Thanks again to everyone who replied for the responses and the advice. I went ahead and ordered a tune-up kit from Scaled Instruments, and while I was at it I picked up a new rain gauge to get something more reliable than my old double-bucket sensor. I also grabbed a replacement capacitor from

Re: [weewx-user] Replacement for Vantage Pro 2

Thanks for the reply! (And thanks also Graham and Tom) I replaced the battery a while back when I first started having issues, I suspect the solar panel is shot so it no longer charges. The panel prices have gone up — $86.57 with shipping. Given that I’m within driving distance of their

Re: [weewx-user] Slightly OT: My Vantage Vue is dying

Davis has a rebuild program where they will completely repair and rebuild your station for a reasonable fee (I believe it was $95 when I had mine done a few years ago). You are responsible for shipping it to them, or in my case dropping it off since they aren’t too far from where I live. The

Re: [weewx-user] AQI with Belchertown ??

I  have it working with my PurpleAir and the weewx-purple extension. All I had to do was add pm2_5 to my sensor list and create a graph: station_observations = barometer, dewpoint, outHumidity, rainWithRainRate, pm2_5, radiation And in /etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown/graphs.conf:     [[chart7]]   

[weewx-user] Re: FUN with RPi

If you're only using InfluxDB for WeeWX, then a RPi is fine. However, I feed my entire home data collection into it and it would quickly overwhelm both the I/O rates of the RPi as well as memory (CPU would be fine). My InfluxDB instance is using just short of 3GB of real memory and 60+GB of

Re: [weewx-user] Raspberry pi USB disconnects

Or just upgrade to a Pi4. I have had USB issues for years with older Pis, to the point where I have a hub on one of them just to drive a z-wave stick. However, I haven’t had any issues at all with the Pi4, I’m assuming because of the USB hardware redesign on that box. Admittedly, I haven’t had

Re: [weewx-user] Running on RPi for over a year, now some engine shutdowns

That doesn’t sound like an SD card issue to me, it sounds like something is up either with the console or the USB or serial connection. Usually either unplugging and reconnecting the console or a reboot will clear that up. I have the old Vantage Pro USB module and I have had a couple of times

Ken, How goes your work on a PurpleAir plugin? Mine finally showed up last week (they had some supplier issues) and I just got it up on the outside of the house a few minutes ago. If you have something that works I'd be glad to give it a try and let you know how it goes for me. On Tuesday,

A friend of mine pointed me at the PurpleAir back when we had a valley full of smoke from the Napa/Sonoma fires a few months ago. This thread just convinced me to buy one. :-) If no one else has tackled it by the time it shows up and I have time to install it, I'll look into adding a data

I had a hard powerdown of my WeeWX Pi the other day, and ever since it hasn't been updating the web pages or external weather feeds. I see some archive update errors after the crash, the logs show the following and my last update was at 18:35: Jan 25 18:35:16 weather weewx[763]: manager: unable
