Not sure if this belongs in the 'WS 1001 failures' thread but as I'm not sure if it is terminal here goes!
At 10.54 am this morning my (WS1001 clone) gave up the ghost. It looks like the bluetooth connection to the roof has been lost. The internal sensors are still working but all of the things sent by the station on the roof are just a row of dashes.
A few days ago I had physical problem with the anemometer which was reading low. I could feel a 3 mph ish wind but it wasn't moving. It would register higher windspeeds. When I got up on the roof you could blow on it and it would spin freely but as it stopped you could see that it was stopping with a very slight bump. I lubed up the bearings with some PTFE spray I had and it was fine. In dismantling for this job the central spindle dropped down inside the unit! So then I had to take the station down and turn it upside down to retrieve the spindle. Anyway all back together and working perfectly for a few days until this.
I have rebooted the console to no avail and (foolishly) set it back to factory settings so now I am going to have to re-register it and lose past data (probably a good thing as some of it wasn't very good!)
Has anyone else had anything like this? I know how to reset the roof station so I will start with that when the rain stops. I can't think that I have done anything to it but perhaps it didn't like being turned upside down!
I forgot to say the rain gauge suddenly stopped registering yesterday having worked since I fixed the anemometer but at that point everything else was fine.
