Beware that a UPS with no load doesn't necessarily last all that long, but a battery with low drain will, compared to one running an unloaded inverter. Overall my impression is that you are heading down the path of reinventing the Davis data logger. That's not a bad thing, but I think realizing it and trying to have a similar scheme would enable at least conceptual reuse. I don't think you need to generate archive records on the moteino side, but I think it is important to have it send something that looks like time, temp, humdity, .... and then have the code that receives it make rcords for that time, rather than for now. This leads to needing clock sync in the moteino, maintained when the computers are down. I was only out 1h, which feels very lucky. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
