Outdoor pressure is not shown / high indoor readings

[marcrolfes]

HI all,

I've my first Meteobridge in combination with Davis Vue since one week. I'm really new with this and have some questions.

When I'm logged on on my meteobridge, I can see values of all sensors except outdoor pressure. Anyone an idea what goes wrong? I know the sensor does function because I see a reading from the data transmitted to Weathercloud.

The indoor readings are coming from the Meteobridge Pro device. Am I correct that these readings, especially temperature is of little value as it is influenced by the device itself and therefor very high?

Thanks for your response,
Marc

There is no "outdoor" pressure sensor shown as the pressure is measured indoors which is sufficient in all environments.
There is no difference in pressure between outdoor and indoor around your house, just temperature and humidity are different.

And you can set an offset for indoor-temp on the station-tab if the difference is "to large"

Wim, thanks for your answer. I'm not that unknown so I understand that both pressure sensors should give the same reading.

But now you trigger new questions. The pressure of which sensor is transmitted to weather sites? Indoor or outdoor? Meteobridge PRO allows you to offset pressure, temperature, rain, wind and humidity. These are all outdoor sensors. Offset of only the indoor temperature sensor can e changed. Not humidity and pressure, right?

About temperature of indoor sensor, the meteobridge it selves becomes warm while in function. I've readings up to 32 degree as where the ambient temperature is below 10. (in garage) is it normal to set sucht big offset?

Maybe I'm going of topic with my new questions but I just try to understand the philosophy and relation between Meteobridge Pro and Vantage Vue unit.

Regards, Marc

If you have a MeteobridgePRO RED it is reading all sensors from outside plus its own "inside" temp/hum/pressure
Only the console has another pressure sensor but a RED is not reading the console. No Davis froecast either, that comes also from the console

If you have a MeteobridgePRO BLACK it is reading the data from the console+logger "attached" to the MeteobridgePRO
So no problem with to high inside temp as the one from the console is used for that.

And yes, the inside temperature for an Davis IP-logger, NanoSD and MeteobridgePRO is always (far) to high, but it is not that much used either on websites.

Okay, in fact as I expected. I've a MeteobridgePRO red too. No console but sensors directly connected.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'll learn more as time goes by I think. More questions will appear certainly in the future but for now i'm ok.

Regards,
Marc

Could you explain how your sensors are connected directly to MBPro Red?

There is a wireless connection. I was not aware there is another way too.
