Moving Home

[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?

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.

Sounds good - facing the same situation this year - I was just wondering if it was close enough and similar enough if you could avoid the reset. Depends a lot on how you use the data, etc. For some reason, I don't see many responses to questions here of late.

This may help with resets:

Thinking more about this question - an option is to setup new weather network services for the new location (essentially start new), but retain the data. That way, you have access to history at the old location but are starting new online. I also wonder if a remap of sensors would be a possibility to give a clean break between the old and new datasets. I guess I hesitate at a complete deletion of data as it may be nice to do some comparisons in time.

I suppose it depends on where you've been using your data. I've been using the Weather34 website template since 2019 and have historical records there, outside so to speak, of what Meteobridge holds in the database.

I plan to download the very latest version of this that Boris now maintains, and then start writing data to that new version. I'll have the old data for what will be the old site, for historical purposes. However, in reality I don't go looking at monthly or annual data that often and I'm not sure I'd miss it if it were truly lost forever.

It's the live data and current max/min/month/year/all-time records that I use and that I'd hate to lose. The Vantage Vue console will do a complete factory reset as power and batteries will be removed during the move...so it's only Meteobridge that will need the DB wiped I think.
