I see that outdoor sensors dropping off very often. As wmr-200 is known
to be not the best performer in RF reception, I would recommend to place
the sensors closer to the console and to put them into some height
(near the ground a lot of RF signal strength gets lost into ground).

As there are also lots of USB errors, changing USB cable path and using
a short, well shielded cable might also help.

I also increased timeout value for sensor age from 300 secs to 600 secs
(datahold value on weather station page) which should make it a bit more
tollerant when sending slightly aged data to weather networks.

All that are normal issues, when you are at limits with RF reception. sorry.
Yes, that's mine.
I bought an USB adapter, not a cable. Should it work?

I will change the sensors location too. I hope it solves the problem.

Thanks

I'm facing the same problems yet. Now I bought a USB cable from Monster. I hope it works!
