PRO (red one) goes offline at same time every day

Unit has been doing it for months (potentially quite some time).

Error is the same each time. Power on and off fixes it or just wait an hour or so and it comes back of itself. Remote site so cant power it all the time.

logger (02.03.2026 06:17:28): restart meteostick (350 secs no valid rf signal)
logger (02.03.2026 06:22:30): restart meteostick (300 secs no valid rf signal)
logger (02.03.2026 08:28:16): message above repeats 25 times.

Does the same on wifi and lan connection.

Any idea where to start troubleshooting ?

What is the distance from the Pro to the ISS?

Are you receiving RF data directly or via Retransmit?

What is the Sensitivity: db? What is the typical Sensor Live Data signal strength?

Thanks.

Distance is about 2 meters. Its through a bit of roofing metal but never used to be a problem in the same location, though multiple other wifi and ip camera/basestation networks have been added since so perhaps interference has increased.

Direct from davis vantage.


From the stations page....

Green tick but radio box not checked.....RF Module: WS1000 US 915MHz

Green tick and radio box checked......
RF Sens. -90db unlink sensors yes RF Module: Vantage
AU 915MHz RF Sens. -90db direct
Rain 0.2 mm
Station #1: Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS)
Nothing in the Add Station dropdown is selected on this screen.

Avg signal is -75. Max -65 and min -95. Drops to 0 between 6am and 7am.

If the sensors dropping at a certain time is that perhaps just the davis running out of battery (i guess its only got so much solar) ? Seems a bit too consistent timing independently of sun or clouds though.

Wouldn't think 2 metrs to be an issue?

Not sure where the WS1000 model fits in? You have all Davis hardware? The MBPro is a RED, correct?

RF Sens: You could try -80db

Mention of US 915MHz and Au 915MHz confuses me? More info on this one?

My MBPro(Red/s) I set the Model: [direct RF readout of Davis sensors] and receiver RF Data directly via a Davis Repeater.

Sorry of the confusion. Was just a text copy of the page as couldnt figure out image posting here. US ended up on the wrong line. Fixed now im my original post.

The ws1000 just shows its availabe with a green tick and then a radio button. Not sure if it was relevant but the radio isnt checked and amongst the big list its the only other sensor with a green tick so assumed this might be relevant, sensor is showing 'available' but not enabled.

Ok Under the Station/Primary Station>Weather Station)primary) do you have Model: [direct RF readout of Davis sensors]
Connection should be [USB Serial]
Device: [/dev/ttyMH113]
Settings: receiver RF Data directly (narrow bandwidth]
RF Band: [AU 915Hz]
Sensitivity: would set this to -80db

Did you mention if this is a VUE or VP2 ISS?

According to the invoice its a Davis Vantage Vue Weather Network Weather Station - IC-DWNWS-6357AU
IC7716.

The settings ive got for the station are as per the paste before so its set as an ISS. While it is a vue there is no USB on the david weather station or meteobridge so assume thats not the correct option for my setup (as far as im aware ive never changed the station type either).

Ill try changing to -80dB though and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks again

Vantage Vue or VPS2 ISS won't make any difference, essentially the same thing at the basic level. Can you post a screen shot of your Station>Primary Stations tab?
