as I type this it is pouring outside or as my weather station would say, its raining cats and dogs!! it has been a while since I have posted anything so I thought I would give a quick update. This station has performed flawlessly over the last year, and on May 25th I will officially have 1 year of my OWN weather data. not really sure what I can or will do with it, the only thing I use the weather station for on a regular basis is monitoring the weather for MY HA project (Home Automation). The station helps to decide when to keep the sprinklers from turning on as well as the temperature in the house. I hope to incorporate some automated blinds to let the sun shine in when needed. Its a project that will probably never end as I can always want or need more... Well I hope at least I have contributed to making w-underground just a little better and maybe helped someone know the temperature before they go out in the morning.
Cheers,

Well, the Florida summer is in full effect. Hurricane season has some slight activity but not much more than a tropical. Judging from my Tomatoes plants needing to be watered twice a day now. The Solar radiation has got to be high. Next year I hope to add on that sensor but for now. Im just going to say the burn factor is quick here, less than 15 mins. For me at least. te Fishing is starting to pick up inshore, with the Reds tailing and the flouders comming in close...

After losing communication with the ISS, (intergrated Sensor Suite) on my Davis Vantage Pro console. I was unablt to get any data from tropical storm beryl. I lost communication just 3 hours before the storm hit our coast. No worries though, I have eliminated this issue from happening again. cant wait for the next big storm to pass through, and feed me lots of data. Side note, The sharks have come in to Jax, for all you land sharkers out there, time to get the sting...

NEW Station UP and runningWell I got the Station fully functional and mounted outside this week, forgot to order a mount for this thing, so I improvised with some pipe I had laying around and used an 8 foot chain link fence surrounding property to mount sensors. Its been recording data for two days now. I have a Davis Vantage Vue Pro 2, with the Wireless ISS sensor suite. I'm using WeatherLink software to Log the data on my Window 7 PC. The first two days were hot a...
