I would assume then, if one sensor is fer-cocked, then the whole unit might be similar. I'd then send the whole dang thing back and buy something more professional and accurate.
However... I must have been blessed, born under a happy cloud, lived right, prayed harder , danced the Wautse better than anyone else in my prime, because my VP2 is spot on. I check it often and it is spot on.
Yup, I'd save my pennies and buy something around the quality of a WeatherHawk 620 Wireless Weather Station. Now for the price, I'd assume it has to be accurate.
If only we could trade your assumptions for something valuable!
No, people CAN'T just send it back for a refund. That's not how it works anywhere except for a short period after purchase.
And, no, just because something is expensive doesn't make it better. Spec sheets don't always reflect reality as this thread demonstrates.
Got any more cheap wise cracks, or are you ready to contribute to the thread? Perhaps start by telling us how you verify your VP2 is accurate. Maybe you have a psychrometer or hygrometer you trust? And, if so, how do you know that device is accurate?
I did. I suggested a sling psychrometer. Inexpensive and works fine .
One could use something like a Kestrel, if they have one or access and measure the temperature variance as well, assuming that the Kestrel is calibrated. But a sling psychrometer, as ancient as they are , is fairly accurate. I used one years ago and I mean years ago. Wet the wick with distilled water, and spin away. then consult tables for the humidity at that point.
Yes, I suggested that early on.
How do I know it is correct. Well, I have a couple of Kestrels that are calibrated (which isn't fun to do). I compared them with the sling psychrometer and it was fairly within limits. I mean the Sling doesn't do decimals, but it worked for me.
Now as far a cheap wise cracks, there are none. I am deeply offended by your insinuations and hope the moderator gets after you.
No, my question was simple, has the issue been resolved? How far off was the SHT-31 unit from whatever was used? And you got your panties in a knot after well beyond 400 responses? My lord. I am done offering any suggestion.
OH I have had a weather station since 1990. I originally and a WMII, then the VP1 and now the VP2. I have had the VP2 since 1993 and other than having to replace the ISS transmitter board once, replace the super cap once, and have a fully populated station,soil station and so on, I think I speak with some experience, OH and the anemometer on the top of my mast is the original vp1 which is mysteriously working for over 20 years.
