Thanks for that Andrew, that was super helpful and now the problem appears to be solved. I would still love a solution for checking the signal between the sensor and the SDR dongle if anyone has any ideas? Thanks On Sun, 29 Dec 2019, 13:20 Andrew Milner, wrote: > try this youtube > > https://w

Matthew, I was not familiar w Ultimeter, and now curious to see Ultimeter performance under MQTT (although, it can get pricey as to add all sensors). It seems there are indeed options to "buyer" to identify preferences, features, performance and cost. Thank you for your continue support and dr

If going Acurite route and replace a 5x1, the option is Acurite Atlas which is a 5x1 + UV + Illuminance + Lightning (extra optional sensor), making it a "8x1". But reporting time is slow (around 10sec if not mistaken). This might be un-noticeable for regular use, but if using MQTT (with Belcher
