Status Message: Remote Sensor conact lost - only in

[tomron]

Hello,

I have finally configured the FTP upload to a web site and everything is working properly as far as I can evaluate it.

There is just a minor issue in the readings of the gauges window
the status message occurs all the time and remote sensors are properly working...

has anybody a clue whats going wrong here?

Can you give a link to your web site?

[tomron]

It seems that there is really something wrong with the sensors

just reviewed the graphs and the temperature stucks at 18°C



I will send you a link via PN

Thanks

ok, after restarting Cumulus via remote desktop access all outdoor sensors seem to be down (I am not at home so I can't check the station readings).
Unfortunately it was not obvious that the outdoor sensors were down because they remained at their last value... so the status message seems to be right!

Yes, you'll need to investigate what's happened to the transmissions when you get access to the station.

tomron...

If your WS1080 is anything like my WS3083 then the usual culprit is a 'locked' USB port - i.e. it's not communicating correctly. The only way I have found to clear this is to stop CumulusMX, unplug the USB, totally power down the WS console by removing the batteries; then power up the console and wait for communication with the sensors, then restart CumulusMX. It really is a pain. So much so that I am looking to replace the WS3083 with an older Oregon WMR88 - It isn't my 'main' station but I can mount the wind sensor at a more useful height than the Davis VantageVue and it gives me UV readings - well something close!

Hello.

It's a fine offset PWS.
Station reset, no remote sensors
Remote sensor reset, no remote sensor
Station and sensor reset, now remote sensor was available.

In six years of operation this happened the first time
