Title: 3 in 1 Conflict with 5 in 1 wind direction? ** Solved **
Post by: gardengrub on January 19, 2015, 04:59:19 PM: I've been running a 3 in 1 sensor with the Acu-Link Bridge for two years. This last summer I upgraded to a 5 in 1 sensor and also added a Meteobridge for faster updates to Weatherunderground. I've also had an Acurite model 899 rain gauge in my system for two years. Under this setup, the Meteobridge seamlessly passed the 3 in 1 and rain gauge data up to MyBackyardWeather and the 5 in 1 data was sent directly to Weatherunderground as well as MyBackyardWeather.

This last weekend after rebooting the Meteobridge with MeteoBridge 2.5 (5612) I began to notice a problem with wind direction being reported to Weatherunderground. Wind direction alternates between the proper direction and Zero degrees North. While refreshing the Live Data tab I can observe this change take place back and forth about 20 seconds apart.

I took the batteries out of my 3 in 1 for about and hour and during that time the behavior stopped.

This link shows how this began late in the day 17 Jan.

Does anyone else have a similar setup? I'm wondering if this has something to do with the 5 in 1 reporting wind speed every 18 seconds but only reporting wind direction every 36 seconds per the Acu-rite 5 in 1 manual.

Can you please give me access to your Meteobridge as explained in the link below? Please send the link
including your Meteobridge password to "info(at)meteobridge.com".

Post by: docbee on January 21, 2015, 04:30:30 PM: It needed some changes to have a 3in1 and 5in1 working fine simultanously.
There will be more options to select a primary sensor to be used for weather
network communication in next update. At the moment wind0/rain0/th0 are used,
not rain1/wind1/th1.

Is there a chance you could do a selection of a tower sensor too? I have one of those. :-)

Post by: DoctorKnow on January 25, 2015, 11:24:54 AM: Thank you Doc for the ability to choose your sensor choice! So much more flexibility now, and you can locate your thermometer/hydro at the standard of 4 to 6t ft over grass in your radiation shield!
