I am wanting to upgrade a bit, mainly because the Acurite 5 in 1 doesn't do solar radiation, and I am looking at the Ambient Weather WS-2902A (retired and can't be as spend-thrifty as I was before) and I guess what I am asking is whether it is a good choice? I assume there are no compatibility

Adnan, Yes I can confirm that you can run weather34 alongside any other skin. The install process is slightly different from a regular weeWX skin but it works just fine with any other skin alongside. Ian > On 22 Jan 2019, at 21:39, Adnan Mumtaz wrote: > > Thanks Scott, you are so helpful. Ev

That's odd. Did you mount the WS on a pole or is it still laying on the roof ? On Friday, January 25, 2019 at 12:36:39 PM UTC-8, Adnan Mumtaz wrote: > > Open riyadhweather.com and notice the barometer reading changes, gives 3 > readings when it retrieves data using and one is correct only > > On

Its on a pole the reading is correct on the main display, it all happened after i re-calibrated barometer relative pressure on the display unit , it looks like weewx is calculating something else, but MQTT gets the correct reading, right now the reading on the display unit is 1019.6 On Fri, Jan 25

Correct -- the barometer is calculated by the console. So what you have now are 2 different readings, 1 from the console and the one calculated by weewx. On Friday, January 25, 2019 at 1:10:02 PM UTC-8, Adnan Mumtaz wrote: > > By the way the outdoor unit doesnt have the barometer, interestingly

With prefer_hardware it seems weewx calculates and i get wrong figures, by the way my cloud base shows in meters as I have group_altitude = meter , but when I change it to foot the skin calculates fine but when MQTT updates the data it changes to meter readings, MQTT setting is also set as METR
