Holly Shit. I wrote a long answer this morning but ... it looks like I made a mistake :-(
To be short - my main problem was because in the Weewx database wasn't a record of where the max speed was. I can see it on my console (66 km/h), but not in my database. I tried to correct this manually in the database, and now I have a new problem. It will be described in its own topic :-) On Friday, 21 July 2023 at 12:23:41 UTC+2 Greg Troxel wrote: > "kac...@gmail.com" <kac...@gmail.com> writes: > > > Vantage Vue sensors send data to its console.
