Hi all,
a bit of history .... 2008 FO weather station worked immaculately (nearly) for 10 years logged by pywws. Didn't need to do a thing other than present the data on my website as I like ..bliss I've recently replaced the station by a 3080 clone and I'm suddenly plagued by problems of console USB lockups, missing outdoor sensor data etc. So, this looks a very attractive prospect as a reliable alternative. What I want now is someone to explain to me why I need such a thirsty transmitter unit less than 4m away from a receiver. I don't want to be adding a substantial battery or wired power connection for the transmitter .. I am used to two AA batteries doing their job for a year. I'm not criticising in any way, just wondering why my needs seem to be so different from other users on the forum?
Hello btw,
Ian
Edit: didn't mean to hijack thread, but this seemed a good jumping off point
