I purchased that unit 3/22 and had the unit replaced a couple of months ago for a battery failure but other then that it has been good for me.

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.

It looks like mine goes up to 2.75 during the day and drops to just under 2.7 over night.

No, that's OK.

these pics are great. The last one is #9 fairway 😬

Funny thing is when I see a golf course, I think, "What a great runway that would make."

Here's the public link to the station in the picture

Thanks for sharing. I linked over to the global map and checked the data on 5-6 stations nearest me. 2 had bad pressure data showing. Ouch! 🙄

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.

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

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

Nothing at that link I haven't seen before.  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.

There are two node servers that can get data from meteobridge.  

https://github.com/ve7gel/Docs/blob/main/Meteobridge/README.md

and 

https://github.com/BME-nodeservers/docs/blob/master/udi-weather-server-poly.md which can get data from a variety of different weather station software solutions.
