Well I got everything working and built a radiation shield with some plastic plates from Target, one issue is that the wall I mounted the temp sensor to receives a bunch of sun first thing in the morning and skews the readings so I'm going to move the sensor 30 feet or so away and mount it to a fence post that is not near anything that will heat up with the sun. Need to order parts for the i2c extender board yet.
A dramatic increase in temp as the sun rises:
Here is a picture of the radiation shield before paint:
I used 3/4" tall nylon spacers and stainless hardware, the project took longer than I wanted but parts were still quite affordable.
My current issue is the weather underground is not updating, I added credentials (station ID and Key) and changed the config file to enable uploads to the WU. Cumulus is receiving and logging data so I'm pretty sure it's not a network / connectivity issue. I updated the receiver to v6.1_b001 firmware, is there anything else obvious I should check? Did a bit of searching on the forum and didn't see anyone having issues after verifying credentials and enabling it in the config.
Thanks in advance!
