Hi
did you change to a mini usb cable to RF chokes?
Also try using the latest update of WD (which now works with indoor temp/hum (USB mode 3)
and you could add a barometer low limit to WD
I have not seen the low barometer spikes here yet in testing

There are some parameter (used in the calculation) range checks I can add to the barometer reading though, which I will look into

What are the units for the Barometer Spike in the offsets section? I set it to 5, but I'm not sure about 5 what? Millibars?
Thanks.

not the spike setting
the actual max/min limits, in the limit setup...try setting a lower limit

But what I will also do is add some data filtering (i.e compare to previous reading and reject if an outlier)

ps, I have discovered that if you had set a windspeed % offset increase, that would lead to occasional windspeed spikes
simply because I was applying the offset even if a new windspeed value had not arrived
uploading a fix for that

After a couple of days with no problems, I did get a couple of the wind spikes today. Interestingly, they only seem to affect the Average Wind speed, but not the gusts.

Yes, I'm using one for wind speeds and gusts. Should I change that?
