My OurWeather has never really worked consistently for me. I have thought it was the wifi connection. I decided to get some extensions to the sensors and try bringing the unit inside and closer to the AP.
I reboot, and the device comes up in the wifi setup mode. I set up my AP and it reboots. It comes on and cycles through startup, finds the AP, connects and begins to show me the sensors. Then it reboots. I head back to the setup routine...
Any ideas?? Could it be that the battery is out/no good? I am using a 5.2 V USB power supply.

Pull the AM2315 and see if that changes things. Weak WiFi shouldn't cause a reboot.
Which battery? On the clock.
Any chance of you capturing and posting the information from the serial port? It would be good to see the source of the reboot.

Had a unexpected reboot. I attached a portion of serial log. Can you tell what caused the reboot? reboot 1022 (915 B) Also, unrelated, but trying to learn to read the log. What is the info at: 23:34:39.043 -> 2514300 23:34:49.005 -> 2078384 23:34:52.025 -> 1928028 23:34:55.146 -> 1892663 |

David,
I have no idea what that information is you are seeing. I looked at the log and even in context, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. Please record and post it if it reboots again.

David,
I think it is calibration data from the Lightning Sensor.

May I suggest adding a new Access Point / range extender that is located closer to your weather station. If you set it up with the same SSID and code, you don't need to reconfigure your OurWeather to get it up and running. Maybe Ourweather just needs to be restarted and then it will choose the best signal source. A new access point can be set up with a 10-15 meter long RJ45 cable connected to your router. Then you can experiment with finding an appropriate and optimal location of the access point. Often, the router's WiFi signal provided by the telecommunications company is not as good as a dedicated access point. Therefore, a location next to the router might be enough. For example, it could be such an access point from Ubiquiti. But there are plenty of other options. Zyxel NWA 1123-ACv2 for example. www.ui.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-lite/ WiFi signalA poor WiFi signal is often the cause of many problems. If you have an android phone, you can download an App: Wifi Analyzer, and thus measure on your phone how good a signal is at the place of your weather station. There must be at least -70db or more, otherwise it is not good enough. -60db is better. -80 db is poor. With WiFi analyzer it is also easy to see if other WiFi devices (at the neighbor's) use the same frequency as the one you are using. Then the solution may be to change channel in the router to a less used channel. WiFi analytics can also scan the 5.0 GHz band by clicking the 2.4G square, switching to the 5G channels. Unfortunately, WeatherPlus with ESP8266 or ESP32 (WeatherPlus2) can only use the 2.4G band. Wi-Fi: 802.11 b/g/n but not ac standard of 5GHz.
