Moving Home

Post by jasonmfarrow »

Hi All,

I have a house move coming soon and I was wondering what is the best way to "reset" the NanoSD ready for the new location?

Deleting the database is one item, and I'll have to create new weather network services for the new location, but would a full hardware reset be the best way?

What's the hive mind recommendation?
Regards
Jason

I guess one question is how far are you moving?

Sounds like you do not want to retain any history - so may be quite far?

Well...from a meteorological PoV, if you move the station it de-facto becomes a new station.

While I'm not moving 100's of miles away, I am moving 5 miles (direct line) away and that would consititute a significant station change. Wundeground mandates that any change requires a new siteID and key.

I would add that I'm moving from a suburb to a more rural location which would have a different climactic profile [Suburban areas trap more ambient heat due to extensive concrete, asphalt, and reduced tree canopies, creating localized "heat islands." Rural areas generally have cooler nighttime temperatures and higher humidity due to open spaces and vegetation.]

So, yes I think I would need to wipe the stored climate data and all-time records and start collecting afresh. So that's the ask.
Cheers
