Sensors not showing up on MeteoHub

I just set up an NSLU2 unit with my Oregon WMR200 weather station. The station itself is working fine--all sensors show up--but on MeteoHub, none of the wind sensors show up, nor the outdoor hygrothermometer. What's going on?

Also, I'm a pretty low-tech person, so I'd appreciate any advice you can give me using very small words :-)

Thanks--

Melanie

When Meteohub is connected to WMR200 it also gets its sensor readings.

What is "meteohub log" telling?

Does the wmr200 console receive actual sensor reading (vs old readings)? This would sort out the situation that sensors are out of RF reach and console displays just historic values.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This afternoon, I re-saved the station on the "Weather Station" page, and the two missing sensors showed up. I had tried this last night (many times) without any luck; my unscientific guess is that the batteries were a little low and the sensors were sending out weak signals that were only intermittently available. After the solar panel spent a day in the sun, maybe the signals were stronger.

Will replace batteries, just in case that was issue.

Otherwise, it's a mystery--but it's working now, so I'm happy.
