Maybe this is what you are looking for:

3. Press the+ and - keys to add or subtract from the temperature offset value.
Inside and outside temperature are calibrated in 0.1° F or 0.1° C increments,
up to a maximum offset of +12.7 (°F or °C) and a minimum offset of -12.8 (°F
or °C). The variable will change value and the ticker will show the offset
you’ve entered

Wim - that was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I still found it quite annoying with the 5C too high temp on the console.

Now all is good :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Thank you very much for the tip :!: :D

PS: This is then also affecting the read-outs, so I need to set the NANO-calibration value back again.
PPS: @Admin Still it would be awesome if the concole calibration Wim pointed to could be managed through the NANO web interfacce :wink:

There is also a temperature problem when turning the lights on from the Davis console.
When permantly lit, temperature also rises.

It's a development error by Davis.
For the right inside temperature, the temp sensor should be external of the console.
Otherwise inside temperature is an approximate reading, not an exact value.

When you make use of the Calibration feature shown in the picture below it is done as Wim explained. The display of the console will also adapt to this.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but I'm curious about something.

I see two places under station to compensate for the Nano's heating of the console (I'm using a Weather Envoy, btw).

I see the option under "Configure console logging interval, rain collector, wind cup, date and time format" and then down below as a separate item "Indoor Temp Offset:".

I've had to use both (both -8F for the Envoy), but now the Nano shows the wrong internal temp (8F low, seemingly). I had to use both because a separate program, WeatherCat, pulls from the Nano over the network, and without setting the second one, it was reporting 8F high. =/

So, what is the purpose of one over the other?

Thanks!

When you use the compensation shown in the picture above this affects all operations of the Console (display and logger read out). When you do it in the section below where all the other calibrations are done it only affects Meteobridge. Therefor, on a Davis setup I would recommend the first option.

Hi Admin,

Cool. I believe my software that was pulling over 22222 was still showing unadjusted indoor temp until I also set the second one, but i’ll try re—unsetting it and see what it does.

Thanks.

Hi Admin,

Seems to be working. Not sure what I was seeing before. Thanks!!
