Rain Sensor

[FishAlaska]

Goodness I need help again. Meteohub is not picking up my rain sensor. It is showing on my console but not getting from the console to meteohub. I have checked the cable, rebooted many times and nothing. Any suggestions?

I reset the WMR200 and it picked it up.....not sure why I had to do this but it worked.

I take that back....it had the sensor for a while but then lost it.....rain0 no data but I have the data on the console from the sensor.

Drop outs of rain sensor reception are a very common problem with the WMR200. If you search over on Weather-Watch you'll find that it's come up quite a few times. The fact that it's still showing on the console may just be because the console hasn't yet noticed the loss of signal.

Solutions usually revolve around moving either the gauge or the console (or both), trying to reduce possible interference (WiFi, electrical noise, etc.), or improving reception.

Here's a post on using ferrite rings and one on an antenna extension.

Got it back now.
