Sensor missing **solved**

[gpfoto]

Hi,
Some times my thb0 sensor disapears from the sensor list. After some hours it appears again.
This was not happening using my station directly with WD.

Any ideas?


Thank you.

I doubt that it has to do with Meteohub. Does your weather station also loose contact or does not update for longer times?

It is getting colder, so Battery power might not be sufficient for the sensor during a cold night? just guessing.

Hi,

I had a similar case today... but I think it has relation with Cloudy weather and battery.

I mean, because my Oregon WMR-200 works with battery but also with Solar cell if normal battery is low and Sun doesn't shine, sensor can loose communication for a while, and this can affect meteohub sensors heading and reading.

I reseted meteohub, sensor didn't appear, but after a few hours sensor was here again, without header (customized) name.

I typed sensor name and a recalculation took place. Dashboard (and so far sensors) work fine again.

HTH,

Yes, it can be a colder situation problem. I'll test setting this sensor in other place more confortable.

Thank you

Thank you! I've just moved the sensor near the station and now it's working fine.
The sensor was not far away, It was just at about 6 mts. But the house is colder when I'm not there.
Now, in the same colder conditions, the sensor is about 10 cm. and works fine.

Hi,

I don't know how cold is where you are, but still take into account that even when WMR-200 looks like if it's receiving signals OK, some of them are lost, and thus the sensor gets hung.

This may because there's an obstruction in the signals way, or maybe (not sure about it) because of cold temperatures.

I had my rain sensor just 6 meters away (with 2 walls in the way) and gave me lots of troubles, in summertime, or in cold conditions it didn't change.
