After a firmware upgrade, check your calibrations
« on: May 27, 2022, 02:38:37 PM »
Scenario: I have a WS-2000(WH65) being received by a GW1000. Had one rain storm it didn't report anything, my other rain sensors did. I just thought, well it needs cleaned. So I cleaned it yesterday, wasn't bad at all. Today, had another rain storm, again, nothing from that unit.

So, I switched my WS-2000 console to read that unit as opposed to a WH40(Ambient) that I usually have it read . Yep started seeing the readings. So checked out the GW1000 console, still reporting nothing, and then I checked the calibrations, the rain gain had changed to 0.01. I know someone else reported this before. Restoring it to "1", and saving. All back to normal. The change to 0.01 occurred during one of the firmware updates. Strange that it only affected this unit, my other GW1000s were fine. (all updated at the same time)


As an aside...
Some of us, like Gyvate, myself, others, have an unusual amount of consoles and sensors. Obviously we do this because we are interested in their behavior under different combinations, anyone "normal" would not have what we have. I can tell you, it can quickly get out of hand and confusing, I'm sure Gyvate has a chart for his, and a good idea, I don't LOL, and I have to remember what is reading what and sending to where. I'm more into the gear and somewhat into the weather, but I do want the weather values.
