Davis 6152 Wireless Vantage Pro 2 (2020) and some problems
vortilon:
I have a Davis 6152 Wireless Vantage Pro 2 (2020) and recently installed the Davis Weatherlink Live to upload and collect weather data. The system has been working flawlessly for three days and collapsed this morning with no more weather data on smartphone weatherlink application and browser app. It also lost Wifi connection with the 6100 Weather Link Live. When I checked weatherlink.com browser app I could see the system has started to have lack of RF signal in some occasions, especially on night and early morning hours when charts and graph presentations are broken in every several minutes. I checked a condition of device in accordance with the user's manual and also checked the ID 1 status what showed "Davis talk RSSI is "-106" and all percentage of all correctly received packets is only "9%". I was concerned about the small number of received packets, which may mean a problem with data transmission or the batteries run out. But what bothers me the most is that I am receiving the completely different weather parameters from the same station (id 1) at the same time and I don't know how is it possible? I have a Davis console on the wall, which at the moment displays the outside temperature of 3.1 ° C, while the application gives me 2.9 °C? Moving on, the pressure from the console is 1003.7 hPa, and from the application 1004.3 hPa. the wind is also totally wrong with displayed speed and direction. I don't have slightest idea what is the reason for that? Is this difference in indications due to a delay in data transfer (lag) or some internal application settings (pro version). What do you think and what do you suggest I should do? First of all I am going to replace the battery on ISS. Please let me know does the 6100 Module receive and transfer data straight from the Consol on the wall or ISS mounted outside? What is the reason I can't setup and maintain WiFi connection (losing passwords on opening app). Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

Weatherlink Live (WLL) receives direct from the sensor transmitter (ISS), not from the console.
Where you have the WLL positioned, it is clearly not receiving a good enough signal from the ISS. You need to move either ISS or WLL until you get a consistently better signal at the WLL.
If the WLL is not receiving continuous data from the ISS then it's not surprising that weatherlink.com data (from WLL) and console may show different data. Probably the WLL (and hence weatherlink.com) has only old data
Maybe the WLL has a bad WiFi RSSI also?
galfert:
Also the barometric pressure is different because the display console and the WLL each have their own barometric sensors, and own indoor temp/hum. You should though be able to calibrate so that they match.
ConligWX:
A few of us have found with the WLL, it is best to have one of the flat sides of the WLL, facing the direction of the ISS. RSSI signal strength seem to be better.
Of course you may need to move the WLL's location closer to ISS (or in direct line of sight through a window perhaps), but also check the WiFi RSSI of the WLL on weatherlink.com to make sure both signals are are in a good place.
vortilon:
After a few days of trouble-free operation of the WLL and after replacing the battery in the ISS with a new one, there is again a problem with uploading to the cloud and collecting weather data. Despite the fact that everything seems to be up and running (WLL blue LED flashes), weather parameters diagrams in the "CHART" tab are no longer drawn except for the pressure, which as I know comes from the WLL device itself. What do you think and what could be the reason for this? Weak Wi-Fi signal or maybe problems with connecting the station to the cloud? Enclosed you will find attachments. Please let me know your suggestion because I ran out of any ideas. Thank You.
