Best set up
Posted: Sun 04 Oct 2020 11:18 am
Hello 
I've been kicking around in the background for ten years now, I'm now on my second weather station and location.
I'm running a Davis Vantage Vue on CMX on a Raspberry Pi Via the Davis WeatherLink USB logger, and have a Davis AirLink. Now things are running on the Pi, I am happier, no more random reboots of a PC that was purely running to try and keep the weather station online. Now I have a stable set up I'm pushing the data out to all the usual sites via CMX.
The Vue lives on a pole on the gatepost about 20 meters from the house and the AirLink is currently fastened to a downspout on the house until I sort out a better location and power for it.
So a couple of questions
I've been kicking around in the background for ten years now, I'm now on my second weather station and location.
I'm running a Davis Vantage Vue on CMX on a Raspberry Pi Via the Davis WeatherLink USB logger, and have a Davis AirLink. Now things are running on the Pi, I am happier, no more random reboots of a PC that was purely running to try and keep the weather station online. Now I have a stable set up I'm pushing the data out to all the usual sites via CMX.
The Vue lives on a pole on the gatepost about 20 meters from the house and the AirLink is currently fastened to a downspout on the house until I sort out a better location and power for it.
So a couple of questions
- What is the best way of displaying the data online, I'm pushing the CMX files to a webserver and that all works fine, but is there anything better web-wise to dispaly the weather data?
- Has anyone come up with a workaround for Tweeting from the station? Mine stopped, like many others, a good while ago and I've not managed to get it working again. is IFTTT an option?
- Is there anything I can do with the physical setup to make it better? Obviously I could upgrade to a better station etc., but is there anything I could/should do with the current setup?
