Overall very happy with the progress, here are some pictures and some questions I have. WU Link is working www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KSCBLYTH57Weather Stim is not, any suggestions on a fix? I re-added the code on both sides. Same result skyweather.weatherstem.com/blythewood-weatherAQI has been working intermittently. Power off and on seems to resolve it until the next day. Just bought the leads to reduce power but I don't think its a power issue. Screen shot attached. Anyone have experience transmitting the weather data to a wordpress site? Is there a way to reset the rain data since it isn't accurate? Should I clear out the total rain fall data in the database? Anyway to make the camera live video? |

You may know this - just in case you don't.
If you look at the bottom graph - The Red Aux was at 3 - 3 means HM301 present and IN3221 (solar) present. The red drops to 2 - 2 means Solar present but HM301 not present It then goes back to 3 - everything OK - But solar voltage drops to 0. And then goes to 7 which is translates to IN3221 present, HHM301 present AND voltage below 2.9 - HM301 not turned on.
At the same time the the Blue (volts) drops to 2 volts - Not enough power for the system
then the Aux signal went back to 2 meaning HM301 not present.
Just an explanation not a diagnosis - You might want to put an external charger on the solar card with a charger (mini usb connector and charge it till the green LED lights) it is below 4.0V (maybe about 3.5V) There is a point if the battery gets low enough the solar can't bring it back.
Bits for AUX where the weight of the bits are B = 1, A = 2, C = 4 (these are added together for AUX ex:3 = B + A = 3)
// 0CAB
// A = 1, IN3221 (Solar) Present, 0 not present
// B = 1, HM3301 Present, 0 not present
// C = 1, Voltage below 2.9, HM3301 not turned on

Thank you for that! Very informative!
Would you have any suggestions on what to buy for the external charger?

Do you have a phone charger?
If it is not an iPhone charger you can use it as long as it has a micro USB connector on it. Or, maybe ask a friend or purchase one - Best Buy or your favorite electronics store. I'm not sure what current output should optimally be used. Lower current will take longer. I would also suggest you turn the power off on the solar board while you do the charging so you aren't discharging while you are charging.

Got it charged, I didn't realize it had that port.
Looks liked the weatherstem issue resolved itself, maybe it had to be online for a few days first?
Any thoughts on a live camera?

Live camera (SkyCam) solar powered and wireless coming soon. We are resolving the reliability problems one by one!
Your problem was definitely a power problem.

Great Thanks. Few more questions for now. How can I reset my rain data, its still showing inaccurate? I noticed Blynk doesn't have lighting data, any pointers on how to add this? For lighting data is there a way to change kilometers to miles? So last night we had some pretty active lighting yet the sensor only showed 2 events any ideas? Thank you again Attachments:

Figured out how to fix the inaccurate rain data. I read somewhere this can happen during the install if the tray gets bumped. Since I didn't want to lose my real data, I simply deleted the rows for the dates on which the system was being tested.
Then I calculated the difference in millimeters to inches so I used google to convert. Once I got the correct values I just updated the database.
MariaDB [SkyWeather2]> update WeatherData set TotalRain = 0.3 where TotalRain LIKE '61.8';
Hope this helps someone. Took awhile to get it right. Might have been faster to dump and start fresh but hey.

 Just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on the lighting sensor, it doesn't work well. Very active storm, the sky is lite up. Doesn't even have the correct timestamp, yet the device is detected. |

It finally updated but these numbers can't be right. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Can someone help me change the dashboard from km to miles?  |

The dashboard to miles conversation is in the bug list and will be updated in the next version.
Could you send what the detection graph looks like? See the disturber count? I would guess you are in a pretty high noise environment (something is increasing the base noise floor so only big close ones got through).

Just had another very active storm. I look forward to getting this fixed so I have accurate data.   |

km is scheduled. Next two or three weeks.
You are operating in a very electrically noisy environment. Where do you have your detector?
