What is the maximum battery voltage you've recorded. I can't get above 2.7 and wonder if my battery has a bad cell.

MrBill Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I had a Davis Pro for about 20 years... it was a great weather station, top quality, with mostly goofy methods for getting the data online. After I switched to meteobridge it at least became a stable connection that didn't need babysitting. The Davis wasn't measuring wind correctly anymore and I concluded the UV sensor was no longer accurate, I decided to replace it with the Weatherflow Tempest. I have it about 7 months... it failed at the first of the year during a storm and support replaced the outdoor unit. I don't think the "Haptic" rain gauge is good in light rain. For example right now it's at .06" for today, but i can tell by looking at the pool cover that we've had more than that-- my guess would be more like .25" or .5" (I have an old fashioned glass gauge that I'll check later too). the rain has been very light but steady for about 5 hours.
stillwater Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) I've had a Davis Vantage Pro2 Wired since 2015. I use the meteobridge/Ambient weatherbridge (they are the same) puck to send data to Weather Underground for web access. But for local access it is easy to access the meteobridge's data directly over the local network via (IIRC) HTTP REST commands. So local data access isn't a problem. In my case I have a Raspberry Pi programmed in APL that gets data from a variety of sources including the meteobridge and then feeds it to my climate control computer as well as helping interchange data between the ISY-994i and the climate control system. But I just wanted to say that there's no problem accessing the data locally and a PG3 nodeserver should be able to do that. It would seem to me that a PG3 nodeserver written to interface to the meteobridge would provide broad access to a variety of weather sensor hardware Edited March 16, 2023 by stillwater Added last sentence
Techman Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I installed a Weatherflow Tempest a few weeks ago and am impressed with its technology, app, and customer support. Here's some info on its rain measurement technology. Tempest System Rain Data – WeatherFlow Support

All the same it doesn't work well in the lightest of rains, by glass rain gauge currently about .3, tempest is still at .06 as of this moment.
