You made a good buy. I have had my WS-2000 for , guessing here, about 6 or 8 years. It has been solid, clean out the rain sensor on occasion , but , all good.


TRC1961:
Yes, been very happy with it,no issues at all.
I do maintenance twice a year, so rain sensor will be done along with a bit of lube.
I use Dupont Silicone Surface Safe Lubricant with Non-Stick Ceramic Technology. Works great!

In the process of building a pivot mast/pole, so maintenance will be easy.
Is there anything to keep the solar panel in good shape?
I just retired my last 5 in 1 and the solar panel was in pretty bad shape. I'm sure ambients are much better.

Thanks for the tip...

EDIT:
1 more question Rover1822...on your expanded Outdoor tile, on each line of data, there's a low point...a high point, then a middle point, is this a average value or yesterdays temp or what? There is no hover over tool tip!
Webmasters ](*,)
Thanks

EDIT 2: did some math, not an average between the 2 numbers! Nothing at the Wiki page also.

Rover1822:
Actually I don't know, I will look at it later. LOL.

Hi there, Hope your team won [tup]

Well I've been doing some checking.
Googled "ambient weather network expanded outdoor tile meaning" got:

"On the Ambient Weather Network (AWN) dashboard, an expanded Outdoor Temperature tile provides more detailed information about the current and past weather:
   * Today's min, max, and average
   * Yesterday's min, max, and average
   * This week's min, max, and average
   * This month's min, max, and average
   * This year's min, max, and average"

Ok, so I take my "Today's min and max temps, 44.2 and 55.2  average it and comes out to 49.7
Tile says 48.5! So I check my math:
https://www.calculator.net/average-calculator.html?numberinputs=44.2%2C+55.2%2C&x=Calculate
49.7 again.
So the middle value is an average but not quite correct!
Not correct on all 5 timeline values.
But anyways, the middle value is an average between low and high.

Been getting lots of help here at WX, trying to pay back some :lol:

Thanks again.

TRC1961:
Figured it out(talked to wife, works in this stuff, drop low and high values, sum).
reason for difference...quality control!
Thanks again
