Re: Windows 8

I built a new PC last weekend after my last home built PC died after 10 years of good service. I decided to take the plunge and I have installed Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit). So far Cumulus seems to be running without any issues. I've not tried linking it to my twitter feed or Wunderground page yet, as ...

Re: Lubricate anemometer?

It would be useful to free it sooner than later. My unit started sticking at low wind speeds so it wouldn't turn but was ok once the wind got up. It eventually seized totally and before I could get to it we had some severe gales which ripped the cup section totally off the sensor and landed in the f...

Re: W8681 frustration

The final update to this saga. Having been back in touch with the supplier and again explained that they were sending me the wrong transmitter unit they then sent me a replacement housing to go over the transmitter rather than another replacement transmitter unit. That was the last straw so I boxed ...

Re: W8681 frustration

Hi Alan Unfortunately I don't have the original transmitter unit, I had to send that back before they would send me the first replacement unit. However, armed with the information you have provided I will be speaking with them tomorrow to see what they have to say and to get them to send me a correc...

Re: W8681 frustration

Hi Alan I'm currently in possession of two transmitter units, one of which I think is definitely faulty as it doesn't do the LED flash sequence on power up that the supplier told me it should do, whereas the second one does. The only external markings I can find on either transmitter is the CE mark ...

Re: W8681 frustration

The only thing that has changed since my last post is that the low battery warning icon has stopped flashing and is now on permanently. A voltage check of the batteries shows that they are still ok. There is still no display of either the external temperature or humidity on the control panel just '-...

Re: W8681 frustration

Hi Ned

Interesting thought, one I hadn't thought about.

If it is I guess I would have to send the control panel (CP) back to the supplier and get them to find a transmitter on the same frequency as the CP unless there is a way to auto tune the CP to find the transmitter.

Re: W8681 frustration

Hi Alan The batteries are brand new fully charged ones. I suspect that because the control panel is not getting any signal from the transmitter it thinks the batteries have gone flat!! When I was speaking to the supplier when I was having problems with the first replacement transmitter I was told no...

Re: W8681 frustration

Hi Steve the following comes from the manual: RF Receiving mode 1. After power-on, the weather station enters the RF receiving state for 144s. 2. Base station receive the temperature, humidity, wind speed and rain data each 48s, receive illuminance data each 60s. If there is no new effective signal ...

W8681 frustration

Hi first post on here and I'm hoping someone maybe able to shed some light for me. My wife bought me a Watson W8681 solar weather station last November for my 50th birthday. I had it all setup and running for a few weeks and everything was going well. Then we had a couple of bad storms. During the s...
