Re: [weewx-user] weewx can't update data from netatmo no more

I am in total agreement here with Michael. The combination of the traditional tipping gauge and piezo sensor is perfect as far as I am concerned. Piezo is far more accurate at determining the start of rain but the interesting thing I observe time and time again is that they end up in much the same position after a period of time. So my advice is start with the Whitboy, it is much improved in performance these days. You can always add a tipping gauge afterwards.

I use the WH40 and WS90 rain gauge combined: the ws90 detects light rain long before the first signal of the tipping gauge. That's valuable information for me. Valuable enough for recording and displaying it.

I would suggest not buying a Ecowitt piezo sensor.  Even ecowitt’s manuals say to use their tipping rain gauge if you want better accuracy. I purchased a ws85 that was hopelessly bad at rain accuracy that I took it down and boxed it back up. I was not able to tune its settings to get even close to accurate readings.

(If anybody in the US wants to buy it for the cost of shipping plus 40 bucks contact me via email)

I forgot to paste the link. Sorry about that.

You can combine almost endless combinations of sensors and gateways from ecowitt. And even more when using weewx with those devices. A classic tipping rain gauge can even be used in parallel with the piezo rain gauge from WS90/WS85 with a single gateway/console.

Is this the one you had in mind?

consider ecowitt. weewx acquires data directly from controller (bypass cloud) but controller is on ether/wifi not usb/serial

I´m tired of my data not really being my data. I have to get it from their servers, and that they don´t work all the time.
I´m tired of allway restarting and getting a new refresh token from their api page, because it can´t get data after a restart of the server.

I´m so glad of weewx though, and I want to keep having a weather station, but I will not use oceans of money.

But which new stations should be considered. I really liked the netatmo approach on the wind gauge, which is without moving parts but with ultrasound.
Does any other stations use this approach? I know some professionals do, but they are far beond my financial reach. :-)

And which stations have serial or USB output that can be used in weewx.
