Other Weather Software / Re: WeatherWizz Dashboards - Update Notice
« Last post by SnowSentry on Today at 02:38:16 AM »


Big thank you to Metobridge who now support WeatherWizz natively.

Anyone using a Mateobridge device can now just enter their station id and station password to get up and running much quicker.

By the way - Mchd17 - thanks for confirming my experience - also there are other users on Facebook saying the same - so its not a one-off anomaly for you or I - it seems to be a limitation - we will see what the team at Davis do ....

Guys -
Im in the same place. The work around is not good - the point of my new unit was to clean up the arch. of multiple stations or to multiple receivers for me in a simple single solution. Based on my "walk around" non-scientific experimentation its not even close. My actual experience with range is 50% and I am not an advocate of spending another $400 in repeaters to use this $400 new console - that makes it an $800 expense. I did call them and they said they wanted to learn more but did not call me back as promised. I think service wanted engineering to chime in - I will call again tomorrow and be polite but this is a non-starter for me. There are other software things that make me nuts but those are fixable over time - I believe this is hardware and the lack of external antenna. They should have disclosed the limitation. BTW with no real way to keep the screen on while on battery its really hard to do field calibration for things like anemometer orientation.. another to be fixed item, but range - thats concerning to me - we will see.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the Downloading files.  This is my second unit as my first unit got bricked.  I've restarted a few times but no dice.

Without an exterior console antenna and no change to the power output of the ISS, why is this surprising? One thing that made Davis a "go to" PWS. More "progress" I guess... :roll:

Sounds like the perfect issue for Davis support. If you live inside the US, call them. Email is too slow.

I was actually considering that, but dreading the reaponse

I have notice less reception with the 6313. Ive had my vp2 console in the same spot for years. Replaced it with the 6313 and kept losing connection to wind repeater. Had to move console to gain a stable good connection. My anemometer is 1/4 mile away, solar repeater is about 300 feet away from house and mounted about 25 feet high. My setup has always worked well. Not with the 6313. I even had to set the 6313 close to a window. It's aggravating for sure. Might daisy chain another repeater up next to the house.

Edit - I also have a WLL and have this setup further inside the house, zero issues with that.

yes - i hope they can turn up sensitivity. Without that its a repeater situation for me and thats not why I spent $400 to add another $375 or so in transmission due to internal anten.  Hope they find a fix or I'll be looking to modify my approach

Doesn’t sound fixable via a firmware update. Hopefully I am wrong.

Rainwise Weather Stations / Re: should I paint a Rainwise rain funnel?

Playing Devil's Advocate, both Rainwise and Davis use black rain gauges.  Could there be a technical reason, like solar heat to melt snow in the winter?????
