Yet another Davis fan has quit and they are now over $100 including shipping. 
LOL! You gotta be kidding me?! Tell me everything is fine.  Must be sold at the grocery store. :roll:  Unbelievable.

Here's what I use. Overkill, but works in my climate just fine. i'd shoot for the 25-45 CFM range. Don't go lees than stock.

I highly recommend Cooler Guys. Any 80mm fan will pretty much work with very minor modification to the fan housing.

Davis Instruments Weather Stations / Re: Two month old VP2 humidity sensor intermittent drop outs

Is there a difference in the old sensors, and the new sensors?  I believe I saw something about a humidity correcting needing to be applied.  My replacement sensor should be here in a week or so.

.... Is this a clean the connection first step, then call Davis? Seems kind odd for the humidity sensor to crap out this quickly.

Yes it is odd for a new station but like all things there is a failure rate, nothing is 100% perfect and humidity sensors do have issues in bad environments. If it's a moisture/humidity/temperature issue then this might become evident observing when the issue occurs over a time frame.     

But yeah clean/check the ISS socket & fully re-seat cable jack a few times and check for any signs of moisture. Don't worry if there is some form of dielectric grease on the contacts, that can be normal.

Davis Instruments Weather Stations / Replacing FARS Fan with Case Fan
« Last post by Herbaldew on Today at 05:04:52 PM »
Is there a guide somewhere that I am missing to swap out my Davis FARS fan with a computer case fan (VP2+ w/ 24 hour FARS)?

Yet another Davis fan has quit and they are now over $100 including shipping.  I was going to try to replace just the motor, but Jameco now has a 1,000 unit miminum order.  Amazon is out of stock of the fan that is just like the Jameco and I'm not sure which other fans are OK to use.

Anyway, I can get a 12v wall wort and run a line from a nearby outlet to my ISS, so was thinking the case fan may be the best option.


Thanks

I’ve gotta do the same thing here. Mine reads fine until the humidity rises like during rain then it reads a big fat 0. I’ve tried removing and re-soldering the sensor. If I could find that older variation sensor the fix would quick and simple.

I just ordered a replacement temp/humidity sensor for my 10 year old station...  I will be changing out the old one once it arrives.  I will post if there are issues.

I'm not quite sure what you're actually doing.
It looks like both consoles (i.e. the WS2902C and the GW1000) are sending to FOSHKplugin in parallel.
Is that your goal?
If not, you would have to deactivate the custom server setting on the 2902.
Oh, that might be the problem. Unfortunately, I am not at the location so I cannot change the 2902C settings. I will do so when I visit the site in the next few weeks.

BTW:
Why do you supply the InfluxDB via Nodered and not directly via FOSHKplugin?
I have been using the nodered flow much before I started using FOSHKplugin. I didn't change the flow other than the initial http node when I started using the FOSHKplugin :)

Weather Website PHP/AJAX scripting / wxhistory.php
« Last post by meteosanjuan on Today at 01:26:50 PM »
In order to make some order in the root folder where the website is stored, I decided to move the graphs generated by weather display in the Daily Report for the month (wxhistory.php)

So create a folder “daily graphics” and after moving the gifs change the path to
$wxh_graphs_path = './daily_graphs/';

Since the graph was too big, I added the width and height="600" clauses, which I really don't know if it's recommended.

And the result is that it works, however I can't figure out where to indicate that the gifs that weather display uploads do so to the folder I want, it uploads them to the root.
Can anyone tell me how to do it?

The site is https://www.meteosanjuan.com/wxhistory.php

Thank you
