WMR200 New Meteohub from Ambient

Post by FishAlaska »

I just received the hub and set it up according to the directions.

1. Do i need to update anything on it....under system info I have Meteohub 3.1 on it. I did not install any software other than the IPScan tool that came with it.

2. It is not seeing my rain sensor and not reporting any rain figure to wunderground. I see the rain sensor on the console but not on meteohub under sensors or wunderground.

3. I have an Oregon UV sensor is it supposed to report Watts/M^2 to wunderground? It was reporting when I was using Weather Display just off my computer to update wunderground.

4. Am I supposed to use Weather Display in addition to this?

A UV sensor records UV. UV is usually reported in UV index units not in W/m^2.

W/m^2 is the sort of unit usually associated with a solar sensor (which is a different thing to a UV sensor).
It was reporting when I was using Weather Display just off my computer to update wunderground.
I think that WD includes an option to calculate an estimated approximate solar value based on a UV reading. Views differ on how useful or valid such a calculation is.

OK, I downloaded V4.2RC6 it appears more stable. All sensors are reporting but UV is not sending data out or showing on the dashbord. Not sure if I need to do firmware or not.

Including UV?
UV is not sending data out
Have you set up the "UV Index" section of the Meteohub Weather Networks page?
or showing on the dashbord.
I don't have a UV sensor myself, so maybe I've missed some comment somewhere, but so far as I'm aware the Meteohub Dashboard is only designed to show Outdoor Temperature, Humidity, Dew Point, Pressure, Wind and Rain.

Ok I got everything working good I think.

Wind is reporting within Meteohub dashboard in fractions such as 4.3 or 5.7 but when it sends the data to Wunderground it is only in whole numbers such as 4.0 or 5.0. Is this fixable?
