Raspberry PI - Oregon WMR300 with sensor eror - any tips

[Arnfinn]

Hi!

I have been running a setup with Meteohub / Raspberry PI (Model 2 and now 3) / WMR300 - connected via USB with the Oregon WMR 300 console around 3 years, and it has been very reliable (not having the SD card issues described elsewhere).

Quite suddenly this autumn some of the sensor data is not "getting through" to the Meteohub ( I get indoor temp and rain, not outdoor temp and (mostly not (only somtime)s wind), while all data of course are there on the WMR 300 console reliable all the time (of course if the data was not on the console the fault would have been within WMR300 setup).

Does anyone have suggestions for trouble shooting - sensor data problems ?

I have tested the obvious re-booted, taken power away both from the Raspberry and the WMR300 console, and even changed the rechargeable battery at the weather station sensor end without any improvement.

Would you tried to install Meteohub on new micro SD card, change hardware (Raspberry P), or ?
Thanks for any suggestions for the trouble shooting!

Check your system logs and see if there are errors in the Raw Data starting near the time you started having problems. This is indicative of a failing SD card.
See the thread started by tastewar regarding System Stopped Updating and my posts there. Replacing his SD card & changing to storing his data on a USB device as explained in my posts solved his issue as he states in a later thread.

If replacing the SD Card doesn’t solve the problem you might try installing Weewx on another SD Card ( it supports your WMR300 ) and see if that works. At least it will tell you if the problem is in your Meteohub software or hardware related.
I have Weewx running on an RPI ( with a Davis Station ) and it works great. Unfortunately, it’s not nearly as easy to install and configure as Meteohub, though it’s free.

Thanks a lot for these suggestions!
