I've a WMR200 station and I would like to know how could I add Solar Radiation or extra Wind sensor data to my meteohub.
Assuming it must be via RFXCOM, what (exactly) do I need to buy in order to be run under meteohub's system?
I need some light on what is the needed stuff to get this.
TIA,
Chill

Re:WMR200 & RFCOM sensors
Provided your hardware has the extra connections available, Meteohub v4 can interface to more than one weather station, so there may be other posibilities too!Chill wrote:Assuming it must be via RFXCOM
For wind there are many possibilities. For solar radiation the choice is bound to be more restricted - UV sensors seem much more common than solar ones.
Currently for solar radiation I use a "temp in a jar" arrangement, i.e. an estimation based on analysis (done by WD) of the temperature difference between the normal outdoor temp and the temp inside a small glass jar!
I'm hoping to add more direct measurement of solar radiation using a 1-wire based system and Meteohub v4's "plug-in" feature, but that is very much a spare time project and could take months (or even years!) to come to fruition.
The only curretly available "off the shelf" solution I'm aware of for solar radiation with a simple connection to a Meteohub, would be a Davis...
