Hi This should be a "silly me" question but I think for the first 6 months i had my sensor array pointing the wrong way! The older fine offset stuff was simple ..point the whole thing, wind vane first ar North. This one has an arrow pointing west ... So, if I'm now right it's the rain coll...

Hi
I got a pretty swift answer from Ecowitt...they really are very good....yes, it is a filter...

Hi,
This is a diffuser film to make the sun light sensing better.
This is an improvement of the design.

Here's the two sensor arrays - the new one has no sticker and is definitely a glass top . . . maybe they modified it with a filter???
Not keen to go scratching about??

Um, I've been up there and there's no sticker to remove....I am talking about the little UV sensor and not the solar panel.
Looks a different design . . .

Thanks!

Hi Also impressed - a whole new sensors array turned up yesterday. I have fitted it and it all works fine I had ti look in the settings ...third page? To reconnect the sensor as it wasn't connecting. The only difference i can see is that there is a sticker or cover on the solar sensor ..did you have...

Well, very impressed. Saves you messing about ungluing bits.

I'm still waiting for mine...it's been dispatched from China and I can track it....was this the same for you?

profzarkov

Thanks. It's under warranty and they have responded. New unit from China!

profzarkov

That's very interesting!
I have the same fault. I reckon the plastic cage is the problem. The lower two stages are flat and I reckon this allows water into the sensor....I've asked for a replacement too, via Amazon.
We'll see.

Thanks for that. The two sensors seem to agree.
So I've put it all back ...last chance ..then I'll contact the manufacturer

profzarkov

Yes, you're right. The temp & humidity sensor is in a kind of nylon sheath under the rain sensor. Not that good an idea! I've gently dried it with the hair dryer and have placed the indoor unit adjacent. Waiting for the two to agree before reinstating. Not sure how I can make the shielding any b...

Ok
It's gone hinky again
Despite shed loads of rain, it's stuck for days on 1%
Looks like I'll have to get the ladder out, remove station and investigate.
Thanks for your suggestions

profzarkov

Thanks for all those answers - it seems my station & MX have already done this . . albeit in a staccato fashion

Hi
Actually, the website does display air quality on the Trends page, which is good enough.
Maybe in future updates in can be present on other pages too
Thanks
