I have had my trusty old WH1080 running since
c.2013, and it is slowly dying. I started looking into a replacement earlier this year; and after a little amount of research ended up with a Bresser Explore Scientific 5-in-1 Complete WiFi Weather Station. I was wooed in by the ability to upload my data to the cloud, then download it for local archiving, analysis and visualising.
Sadly, the 5-in-1 WiFi has been nothing but a let down. The sensors seem OK (good enough for me), and more accurate when compared to other sensors, than my WH1080, but it loses so much data. I'm losing 10-20% of the data that it should be pushing up per day. Random observations, full rows, you name it. It has been like it since the week after I set it up. It's slowly getting worse.
Are there any stations (up to ~£200) that will save records (@~15 min) for a few (3+) months at a time, and allow me to download them (CSV or equivalent) to my PC via USB?
I'm mostly interested in logging internal temp & humidity, external temp & humidity, rainfall accumulations, wind speed & direction and barometric pressure. Anything else is a bonus.
It would be nice if it could auto-upload to Weathercloud (or equivalent free service), but this is a nice-to-have and not a must. The local storage and analysis is more important than viewing online for me.
I do have a personal cloud on a NAS server, but I don't have the time or energy right now to start doing clever things with those - but it is a direction of travel I would consider when the kids grow up more - so only tempted by such options if it's out box & minimum config.
Thanks in advance
