Ambient Weather and Ecowitt and other Fine Offset clones / Re: Advice for weather station
« Last post by BenjaminPratt on Yesterday at 09:44:50 PM »If you're focusing on monitoring temperature and air quality in multiple rooms and outdoor temperatures, you might want to consider checking out weather stations. They often offer customizable sensors and can be more cost-effective than buying individual sensors and consoles.

Personal Weather Station Links / Need help adding some links to my website
« Last post by Adrian23 on Yesterday at 09:00:40 PM »I am trying to add a webcam link to my website but I am not sure how to. I generate an image with current conditions overlaid that updates every 5 min via My meteobridge. I would like to add it to my MISC dropdown and that it opens on a page on my site. Any help would be appreciated. Also would like to add Ken’s NWS discussion script on a separate page that opens up on its own separate page. The site is run by a raspberry pi which holds cmx.
I can provide hosting info if needed.

That one grabbed my eye as well. Contrary to my latitude, it gets rather southern soupy here on the Delmarva coast in the summer and the water resistance can't hurt.
Meanwhile, I scared up four case fans and three 12v warts in my "junk" drawers so cost so far is zero
I spent several minutes sanding and filing the case fan to get it to fit then got lazy... a quick snip even with the outside of the mounting bolt holes on the bottom end of the fan with diagonal cutters let it slip right in to place.
I didn't seal anything because I have to go back in and remove the nicad batteries and tidy up the wiring and it will hold a tissue up to the screen as is so I may just skip that part for now and see how it goes.

« Last post by ValentineWeather on Yesterday at 05:58:10 PM »I wonder if it continues the practicality of collocating a Davis sensor or other sensor of known accuracy in the MMTS shield? Any insight on who manufactures that shield? I’ve searched in vain.
Same here, I couldn't find anything on the shield maker, wonder if it wasn't just a one time outside contract due to the fact parts are scarce. I was told this on installation they have to reuse connectors because they are no longer made.
Provided the Nimbus sensor is correct. It's running cooler than the SHT-31 FARS by as much as 2° once we reached into the low 90s one day. Guess the best way to know for sure would be to open the shield and insert a SHT-31 inside and see how it compares with the nimbus probe. I did read somewhere when they started replacing the CRS with the MMTS they noticed about a degree cooler on the MMTS.
I can say the airport ASOS is right with the FARS SHT-31 most days for highs. While the MMTS will lag back a bit on some days.
