I'm not quite sure what is going on. I've got an Ambient Weather Station WS-2080-IP connected to the weatherhub. Periodically I get a Meteohub email saying the following:
Meteohub (meteoplug): Cannot connect to Weather Network "No data upload to weather networks as sensor selected on weather network page for outdoor temp, outdoor humidity or outdoor dewpoint is not providing recent data."
If I connect to the Meteohub and click on sensors, it will say that it has been XX minutes since there was a signal. I get these message every 10 minutes. I may get 3-4 of them but then all of a sudden it starts collecting. It could collect for 4-6 hours until I get the next email message. Sometimes it doesn't collect for 2-3 hours.
The batteries have been replaced in the receiver just in case they were weak...they are just regular alkaline batters. The sensor up on the roof peak have lithium batteries...which have only been in the unit for 2 months and I have not replaced these yet. The distance between the receiver and the sensor is only 12 feet away. Of course the receiver is inside a building and the sensor is on the roof end peak. It worked flawlessly for 2 months and now all of a sudden.
I haven't observed the receiver readings to see if they are updating and not the Meteohub.
I sounds like more of a weather station issue than meteohub but figured I'd post a message anyways. I may have to reference the vendor of the station to see their thoughts.
Any thoughts on this issue?
Thanks,
Nick

Re: Connection Error
Try to change position of the weather station console,
change routing of USB cable to Meteohub,
try changing position of outdoor sensors to improve RF reception.
SheevaPlug does send some RF noise over USB cable to weather station console which reduces RF sensibility of the console a bit. Measures above might help.

Re: Connection Error
Thank you for the reply.
On Monday I went to the weather station to try and debug the issue. At the time I was there, the data transmission was working.
I took the batteries out of the sensor so nothing would transmit back to the base station. I logged into the meteohub webpage and it continued to show the "last signal" updating... even though the sensor was disconnected. So this tells me that meteohub determines the "last signal" comes from the base...even though the sensor may not be transmitting. So, I unplugged the USB cable and then the "last signal" would start to increment. So I'm guessing the connection between the weatherhub and base station was interrupted...either connect or "noise". I put the batteries back into the sensor. I took the batteries out of the base station, cleared the data and but the batteries back in. I plugged in the USB cable and now I haven't had a miss since Monday.
