Two Vantage Vue Consoles both different readings?

Post by HARRYGWX1950 »

I have two Vantage Vue Consoles, one upstairs and the other downstairs, both units show different readings, how do I get these to match, also the wind direction seems to be off, the unit is facing South and the predominant wind direction here is West to South West, main unit reads presently SSE and the other unit reads SSW, temps are off and barometric pressures do not match....help

OK, you are not too specific about exactly which readings are off but...

Wind direction, external temp and external humidity, these are coming from the external sensors so both base stations should should the same value - unless either of them have been configured with calibration values, check your manual for how to set/clear these.

The internal temp/humidity/pressure values are coming from the base station itself. Pressure in particular needs calibration for at least height difference, temp and humidity will be different in different parts of the house anyway.

One other possibility: your two consoles could be receiving data from two different sensor sets. Are you certain you don't have a neighbor transmitting on the same channel you are using? One method to check is to change channels.
